Sometimes it is because the cost of a live uplink is cheaper at one time than another so they may pre record it to save money.
Other times it is because they sell up links in blocks so someone may have already booked the same block and they cant do it at the same time.
A lot of the time itâs just to make the bulletin appear more current. Optics not logistics.
Bullshit. The ABC does it all the time. Next time you see a bulletin with the anchor talking to Chris Uhlmann in what seems like a live cross, go on iView and youâll see the same thing repeated across all state and territory bulletins.
Hereâs the start and end of an ABC equivalent I recorded a while back. They call it an âas liveâ: https://youtu.be/XZfoe-Eant4
Is that off one of the ABC Uplinks?
I donât want to open the âcorrect way to write the dateâ can of worms again, just want to make the point that 7News Brisbane need to choose one format and keep with that. Their opener is formatted as âFriday 23rd September, 2016â while the desk on the set has âFriday 23 September 2016â (which I believe is correct btw).
But for consistency they need to stick with oneâŚ
I notIce on a report from 7 Brisbane tonight that the microphone had a blue and red 7 logo is this new
Rather then a black and red 7 logo
This was Brisbane 6pm bulletin
It looks like the microphone used on 7 Local News - so maybe the interviews for the story were done on the Sunshine Coast?
Microphone on 7 Local News:
If only it was Ayr near Townsville 
Itâs not on TV but back in July 7News made
"7News Presents Georgia Knoll the Photobomb Super Star"
a Buzzfeed type video
Cue the Green Guide letters next week! 
Recorded a few clips of Seven News Melbourne tonight, opener, sport closer etc.:
Wow, thatâs terrible. 
Different strokes for different folks. Sometimes the noddy at the start helps the editors to make it seem more natural rather than a hard cut to the reporter talking. As for âback to youâ ⌠well, it really irks me when Nine journos say âlets take a listenâ or âhereâs what they had to sayâ ⌠if you canât write a script that leads to the grab, donât be a journo.
how is it deceptive if there is no LIVE wipe, LIVE tag or presenters introducing them without saying LIVE?
News is introduced as being live from the studios of Seven. Presenter proceeds to chat to a person - which is really a clip being replayed by a producer.
âProceeds to chat to a personâ
As in a conversation? Or âXXX was at XXX today and filed this report?â
âReplayed by a producerâ
Actually the DA (or TA in automated studios) rolls the clips.
