Calm down. Brisbane is still local. Probably just an issue in Sydney.

Standard lineup in QLD.

Didn’t notice any stories out of Sydney. There was one out of Melbourne.

Overall Review of the Combined Sydney/Melbourne 4PM News:

  • The ‘Noon News’ opener just doesn’t sit right - Should’ve just used the regular graphics
  • The early weather preview has no life - No temps shown at all. Just plain text
  • Sport preview using standing presentation is useless.. because Bec ended up presenting sport from the desk
  • The full weather forecast had ‘Melbourne Weather’ at the start & had ZERO mention of Sydney/NSW weather.
  • Use of the ‘7NEWS App’ promo at the end. Sydney ditched that ages ago

Karina’s presenting feels off-putting. Just doesn’t feel normal.

Keeping an eye on Sydney 6PM

Worth mentioning - No 6pm previews or updates during the bulletin.

If they’re looking to cut costs… a combined Syd/Melb 4pm seems like a weird method to do it.
At risk of playing devil’s advocate… why not have Syd/Brisbane combined and Melb/Tas/SA combined? More market similarities

It was probably just some reason in Sydney- like once before when they all had a funeral to go to. If this was a change why would they launch it on a Tuesday?

I recall in 2014 Mark Ferguson attended the funeral of Ian Ross on the Gold Coast, leaving Melissa Doyle to present the Sydney 6pm bulletin in the studio that evening.

2243

That’s not even remotely the same thing… presenters take days off and someone fills in, it happens.

But I mean there was a day when one of the eater he state cities had much of the newsroom attending a funeral and as a result 4pm was a combined bulletin that day. I can’t recall anymore than that. Obviously something has necessitated a combined bulletin today, but I think this jumping at shadows and assumptions is a bit of an overreaction.

2244

I remember Seven did this with Today Tonight twice.

Seven could be testing the waters.

2245

Having a more national 4pm news for the most part won’t save Seven that much as the vast majority of staff are already working preparing for the 6pm news. But if they want to take it national it will probably come out of either Melbourne or Sydney and be shown across the east coast ie Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. But due to time differences at least in summer Adelaide and Brisbane should have their own as should Perth.

Adelaide is:

  1. Not on the east coast, and
  2. Is 30 minutes behind Sydney and Melbourne all year

Takes me back to Susannah Carrs World Around Us (although a little different in style). Did the East Coast have this too back in the day?
