Nine News Sydney did a report yesterday on a woman who survived the corona virus outbreak in Newmarch House and was celebrating her 103rd birthday. The reporter and crew were shown being admitted into the building after a temperature check.
Rick’s name appears but Sue’s doesn’t…
Is that because Rick goes out into the field often whereas Sue doesn’t so much? Still could have used both names at the end.
Yesterday on Sydney 4pm News, there was a different background for sport, similar to what Melbourne use:
Tonight on 7News
Gold Coast local news promo
“Local news happens 7 days a week, and that’s why 7 Gold Coast News only airs on weekdays.” ![]()
To be fair, Nine also fails to provide the Gold Coast with a local news service on weekends.
I realise that - of course 7 did have weekend news - so that “local news happens 7 days a week” line may have been better suited to when that was still around!
Queensland’s afternoon news is today coming from the Gold Coast with Amanda Abate ironically with a cross to the newsroom in Brisbane.
what’s the irony?
The news is usually presented from Mt Coot-tha studios, instead was today from Gold Coast but within 30 seconds of the start of the bulletin there was a cross back to Mt Coot-tha.
Meanwhile - dam levels shown today.
They often present 4pm from the GC studio.
Yes, whenever Kendall is away the 4pm bulletin comes from the Gold Coast with Amanda Abate most of the time.
Not necessarily the case. When Kendall is away I’ve seen the bulletins presented from the regular studios with a fill in presenter.
Ticker used during Queensland’s 6pm news to list potential COVID contact sites. Ran during COVID reporting only.
Not a bad idea, but wished they used the current ticker.
