There have been a few complaints on Reddit avout the Melbourne news tonight due to the fact that the Heath Shaw AFL sledge incident was the top story instead of the threat of a North Korean nuclear war with Australia. Bit of a strange decision if you ask me.

One day last week, Sunday perhaps, the day North Korea launched the first missile, Seven News Adelaide ran some hoon drivers ‘terrorising’ a street in an Adelaide suburb as their top story, probably only because they got their hands on some iPhone footage. Not saying it’s not news, but the questionable priorities extend out of Melbourne too.
No one takes the North Korean crackpot seriously.
And hoons are a much greater threat?
He’s a crackpot with nukes. That’s easily more serious in my eyes.

Wow, there were some persistent glitches on 7 News Adelaide tonight during the weather and handover to TT! Amelia’s live cross was down to audio only and then moving to TT Rosanna’s microphone was muted and the story preview package failed to play.

Does that mean all my amateur screen-capping efforts on my iPad via the 7Live App were for nothing? 
Nah I’m jk, all good

Live to Lee Jelosek who is at… well who knows? We never see him. I’m sure the viewers think he is at the scene or in the helicopter rather than crossing from the newsroom like he really was.

Seven News would have to have some of the largest obtrusive graphics, so unnecessary.
Seven Brisbane opener - Nine reporter can be clearly heard in background also doing a live cross @ 2:02.

Either Nat Wallace talks too loud or Ben was too close to him. LOL. Seven started the live cross right at the end of a SOT on Nine, so probably thought Nat was done and then he starts talking again as soon as they cross to Ben. Oops. You can vaguely hear Ben talking on Nine’s cross too.

Initially I thought it was some sort of echo from the future 
as both reporters say similar things.
“They got whisked away…”

This will always be my favourite news opener from 7… Short lived, but all class.

In the exact order it’s in. I love that first one and the graphics!! Those graphics would still not look old, stale or boring if they were still in use today!
I have always much preferred a newsroom backdrop as appose to a globe.

My absolute favourite was during the mid-2000s with the open Melbourne newsroom:
However, in saying that I don’t think that all national news bulletins should have a newsroom nor a globe. A nice mix is great, like it currently is (Nine and ABC with the newsroom, Seven and Ten with the globe).

Nine has a mix I think with Dotted Globe mixed in with the newsroom.
In saying that however, when can Seven News get the globe right? We have Nine, ABC and Ten all looking very professional, and then we have that sphere stuck in the middle of the sky?
