Why are they all so different? Wouldnt it have been easier to make 1 promo and slot in local presenters at the start and the end?
they’re not that bad.
20 sec versions of the Corona promo
30 sec Perth:
Morning News ran till 1pm today.
In Brisbane, the Morning News began as usual at 11.30am, before cutting away mid-headlines to take the live presser. Then, after the national sign-off, they aired the normal bulletin from the start at 12pm local time, finishing at 12.30pm.
Went live into Perth from 9:30
Sorry for the bad joke but here’s a bit of humour amidst the crisis.
Social distancing: exists
Seven News Melbourne and Perth desk: I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life.
Poor Pat Welsh…
That sports presentation was similar to what Seven News Perth did between 2010-14 when they had Basil Zempilas stand for the sports reports. Back when they had the twisted metal set.
7 News Brisbane is scheduled until 7.15pm tonight. 9 has ACA at 7pm.
Seven News Melbourne is scheduled until 7pm tonight. It was originally scheduled to finish at 6.30pm for the season premiere of AFL preview show The Kick.
Sydney is going until 7:15pm as well.
In Brisbane there was basically another set of headlines around 7pm with a live cross to Southbank and then Surfers a couple of stories then headlines again the weather.
Typo alert with that first super!
The extra 15 minutes was about as useful as a 1 hour edition of ACA on a Saturday ie not at all
Agreed, the BTQ bulletin was very repetitive and there wasn’t anything new from the 5pm national bulletin. Besides the sport and Kenny Rogers passing, that much coronavirus “news” was a bit much to sit through. I’m sure there’s other things happening that can be reported on.

She did a good job. 7 was the only commercial network to cover it.
