Plane Crash Washington D.C. (Jan 2025)

Who cares what he thinks? Anything for a political point.

Also why is Seven still behind the eight ball on this outside the Eastern states? Lazy.

I am sure it’ll be in the 4pm and 6pm bulletins. What else does it warrant really?

Seven’s new National News Desk might have something to do with it.

Do you know if 10 updated Lunchtime/Afternoon?

They didn’t change the lunchtime bulletin. Afternoon hasn’t aired yet though there have been updates.

Following Hugh Whiftield’s report, Seven Adelaide had a look live with CNN Newsource National Correspondent Brian Abel

No longer with Seven? He was Sunrise’s aviation expert for many years

Think he left a while ago - IIRC he now works for an aviation website, and appears every now and then on the ABC News Channel when there is aviation news.

10 had two live crosses to a CBS reporter in the Sydney bulletin. Not sure what other states got.

Brisbane also had a live cross. Seven using CNN for a prerecorded report.

In all markets???

It’s an interesting decision isn’t it. Do you go with your own reporter who’s in US - but still a long way from the crash zone - or do you go with your affiliate reporter on the ground?

Some issues with the pushback on CBS News 24/7’s YouTube livestream, seen in the plane crash update during News Mornings.


And do we really need a pushback early into live coverage? With BBC later going live with the Israeli hostages simultaneously, it may be a bit more useful later to show their ‘continuing coverage’ and showing a timeline of their online live blogs…

CNN is hosting live on the banks of the river

He also did a live cross on Sydney’s 9News.

Any update on NBC, CBS and ABC America??
(TODAY, Mornings & GMA)

CNNI is simulcasting the domestic output (as they do anyway at this time of day) - but during domestic’s ad breaks, they’re doing updates in London about the hostage release in Gaza. Interesting approach.
