Angela Cox started the 5pm bulletin with a cold open this afternoon.
HD Recorded updates finally present in Melbourne. (5:30-6:00 period)
UPDATE: more HD capabilities also seen throughout bulletin (content-wise)

Tragic
Maybe they didn’t mean to show the Breaking News graphic?

Monday 8 June-
Afternoon News in Melbourne didn’t air today due to the annual Big Freeze icy challenge involving AFL players to raise money for the fight against MND.
No new graphics package for Seven News tonight (unless the network presentation relaunch doesn’t happen until after BB starts and they update Seven News tomorrow?)
Evan Batten lost his way during his live report tonight and Michelle Bishop also muddled up some words. I’m wondering if they were having two-way issues.
Seven introduced a countdown timer at the start of the sports segment on this evening’s Melbourne bulletin, counting down to the resumption of AFL season on Thursday night.
No changes yet to the Seven News Sydney Twitter feed.
It also astounds me that despite the rather contentious stories they air regularly, they are the most-followed metro bulletin on Twitter (in Australia).
Not necessarily any link here other than they might be better at Twitter with news than others.
In terms of breakfast TV so is Today yet we all know how that turns out.
I think we might see new graphics tomorrow with the news
