So they ditch Tarsh Belling

She would still present the national news at midday.

I’ve noticed that they have adjusted the timing of the loop behind them showing dusk… (just) now. Still doesn’t match up with real time… (take note whoever is reading this)
However it’s still too dark compared to the LIVE shot on 9NEWS.

I get 7news may want to avoid some of the buildings with their flashing lights in the background, simple solution is to pan the camera left and show more of Flinders St Station / Yarra river? It looks stupid seeing the same tram and car go past ever few minutes.

I get what you’re saying. But Nine’s backdrop is bad too, for all its own reasons. Nine looks awfully dull, grey and less vibrant than Seven there. Even Tom…

That’s the current weather… I agree they need to update the camera, but 7’s is a bad loop

F bomb dropped during a sports cross to Kate Massey with Geelong fans in Melbourne.

Do these bulletins not operate on a delay with a kill switch?

Don’t believe so, it’s not the first time it happened but its not frequent enough to implement it I would imagine

As soon as I saw her cross, I knew straight away he’d do something like that

It’s crazy that they don’t take precautions when interviewing people who would clearly be excited and/or emotional.

It looked like there was a pre arranged person she was going to interview who was just behind her but someone else came from the side and jumped in.

no, you’re thinking of talkback radio.

News is also exempt from the coarse language codes I believe.

Yep - all news and current affairs programs are considered exempt from classification, though I do believe there is an expectation to take care in certain circumstances/timeslots.

In this case though, there is no problem with someone swearing while being interviewed in a live cross.

Where is the news?!?[1]

Will we get the ratings breakdown for each market tomorrow or not given it’s a Saturday. Curious to see how the 8pm news rates

Seven might be a bit disappointed the ending to today’s AFL Prelim blew-out with quite a few Melburnians no doubt turning off, already challenging with an 8pm time.

But on the flip side, possibly good for Brisbane viewers and of course a Queensland team making the AFL GF.
