Now all they have to do is to ditch the blue, replace it with red and white, get rid of the glossy tiles and use a dark, oak floor and the set is a winner.

Oh, no. Another fail for Seven QLD. No coverup on the âLIVEâ and time graphic on the upper left. 
They do normally coverup that corner time graphic with a â7 Newsâ logo on the delayed bulletin (with the word âLIVEâ shown on screen, despite the fact itâs not), but they didnât do so in this specific bulletin for some reason.

Plus, the âComing Upâ break for the first gap was horrible, like it was made from MS Paint by an elementary student and placed over there.
As you know the studio is covered in the wood floors for Sunrise and the black floor is made of tiles. I donât think someone forgot to put them down rather that the old design did not account for these new wideshots.
Believe it or not, that is probably one of the best composed bulletins Iâve seen. Usually, we get unaltered/uneven headlines (instead of Bill, Sharyn, Bill- it is Bill, Sharyn, Sharyn), the headline transiitons easily show the cut between the headlines and often reporters are cut off.

Yeah, I was surprised at how smooth this bulletin was compared to others.
Normally they chop and choose different stories, but it appears on this particular night that they just went with everything that aired in the first 10 minutes.

Iâve always wondered why in Brisbane only at 6:50 they throw over to Kochie & Sam for a look at whatâs on Sunrise the next morning. Does anyone know why this has been happening in Brisbane and roughly how long for? Is that how much Sunrise is struggling in the ratings in Queensland?
Probably. There was a period where they were doing it in Melbourne when TT was on as well.
Was ditched thank god.
The earliest I can find is from June last year. Here are a few examples:
They refer to it as âQueenslandâs Sunriseâ

Do other markets get the cross to Melissa on Sunday bulletins?

Yeah, Sydney has long received a preview for SN on the Sunday night bulletins.
As for the cross to Kochie & Sam for a preview of tomorrowâs Sunrise, Seven probably should consider doing something like that here in Sydney if they donât want to be continually whipped by Today in the local ratings.

The thing I always find interesting and like the most about this is that Mel always mentions that particular marketâs Sunday night newsreader at the start of the preview saying âThanks [enter newsreader here(i.e. Mark, Jen, Kay, Jess, Angela)] tonightâŚâ I like that it adds a personal touch to each individual market but is always interesting when a last minute change in the newsreader occurs and so the preview is thrown out of whack. This is why sometimes you only get a âThanks, tonightâŚâ start to the preview without a newsreaderâs name mentioned. This must mean that Mel would have to film these previews 6 times each week so there is one for each major market plus a general one without a newsreaderâs name mentioned. It would also be worth noting that in recent times, these previews have sometimes shown in the Sunday 5pm news after sport or before weather

The crosses usually specifically reference the newsreader as in âthanks Sharynâ as does the one to Melissa Doyle for Sunday Night where it is âthanks Kayâ.

I did note that they refer to it as âQueenslandâs Sunriseâ just like how in the promos for Sunrise in other places theyâre starting to make it more relevant to each market, using that marketâs cityâs name a lot more throughout the promo and for whatever story theyâre trying to promote. For example, if it was a story about house prices they were promoting, in Sydney they would refer to it as âSydneyâs house pricesâ and in Melbourne they would refer to it as âMelbourneâs house pricesâ. In fact, I think there are Cash Cow promos theyâre running at the moment for each market that makes reference to all the suburbs in each city that have won from the Cash Cow in recent times that uses a similar principle

Yes thatâs what I meant, I just didnât want to type out all the newsreaderâs names specifically since we probably all know who they are on a Sunday night and it would be too long-winded if I did 
Occasionally the Sunrise promos for Brisbane start with âThanks guysâ - so they may not have known the newsreader at the time or there was a last minute change.
Iâm talking about the Sunday Night preview here with Mel, not the Sunrise ones now you realiseâŚ
On another note, in the latest 7 news promo for Sydney, the voiceover at the end now claims 7 news is âAustraliaâs most watchedâ rather than âAustraliaâs number 1â if you listen right at the very endâŚ
