Brisbane sport from the Big Bash season launch at West End
Apparently they haven’t been on since last Friday.
When in doubt the easiest promo solution is to bribe viewers to watch
Next week - though the promo is lacking a traditional “cash waterfall”.
Interesting to hear the policeman involved in the Lindt siege singing Chris Reason’s praises this morning.
Was that 3pm in Qld?
I’m watching 7 now (4.25) and it’s Surveillance Oz (I think). And Catch Phrase at 4.30.
Yes the “4pm News” was live at 3pm in Queensland.
Just to clear confusion, the bulletin aired LIVE nationally, no delays, none of that delayed broadcast crap. Just LIVE from Sydney in real time. I pulled up the 7 Perth stream for example and sure enough, they were running the afternoon news in real time.
4pm AEDT (NSW/VIC/ACT/TAS)

Sydney CBD I’m guessing

Tuesday 24 December 7pm
50 years after the Christmas cyclone that devastated Darwin, the 7News team uncovers rarely seen video of the aftermath and speaks to the survivors.
Scary thing I can remember when Santa never made it into Darwin
Seven running with a 4pm bulletin today in lieu of cricket delayed by rain. However, unlike Monday only live is Sydney and Melbourne.
And back to the Gabb at 4:28 AEDT
Game shows elsewhere
Very Sydney-centric bulletin so far despite being national.
Bulletin now finished because the cricket is restarting. Pretty fluffy bulletin overall.

Minor blooper on the morning news - for one story the Sunrise supers popped up briefly, before vanishing along with the 7News bug - was fixed in time for the next story.
