But Paul in a cyclone is a staple of the coverage 
Exactly what I said earlier.

Least we have a full theme music now
We’ve had the full theme forever, that closer was just a looped longer version

Sam and Max doing a great job.
They chatted for quite a while about the cyclone.
Sam has had quite long chats with each reporter, now having a long chat with Alyssa re: sport.

random question as I wasnt at home, but did all states take the extended news bulletins or did the other states retain regular programs?
Was The Chase Australia on 7Two or 7Mate instead of main channel?
Here in Adelaide, we got Home and Away and other programming after the news until a national special at 8:30pm.
Michael Usher anchoring from Brisbane from midday Qld time/1.00pm AEDT.

That’s not suspicious at all, they removed a blooper from a video.

Very lengthy news update aired at half time in the AFL, presented by Angela Cox from Byron Bay. Mainly focused on Cyclone Alfred of course but I reckon there were about ten stories! Angela mentioned Sydney’s weather at the end, so I’m not sure if it was meant to air nationally.

Would love to see video of this.
It was actually very short tonight, lol.

It was still awkward and not smooth though. Katrina wrapped up and then that long closer didn’t run so Michael filled for an out a minute. Nicer music for the overlay this time though.

7News Melbourne is bringing back Pet of the Week. Each weekend, Tyra Stowers will introduce a pet from RSPCA Victoria which is awaiting adoption. The first one aired after the weather tonight.
The bulletin used to have a similar segment a couple of years ago featuring pets from Lost Dogs Home.
Edit: here is the video
