Seven On-Air Presentation

Last night Adelaide’s Carols by Candlelight was broadcast on 7 Adelaide, only the second time in recent memory. For years, 7 stopped showing this annual event other than a short clip in the 6pm news until 2014 when they attempted to broadcast it live. There were many technical issues with the live broadcast, so I don’t blame them for not giving it another go last year.

This year, the 2 hour concert was recorded one day prior to the broadcast. It was edited down to fit into a 2 hour block with ads. The Christmas Network was brought in who also do Carols in the Domain (an activeTV brand if I’m not mistaken?) and, being in the crowd, I did notice a higher presence of television cameras (both fixed and roaming), more creative angles and a mammoth autocue like at The Domain. The broadcast graphics had sponsor logos on a bauble going into a break just like Sydney has done for years.

The first couple of pics aren’t from the broadcast (though that should be obvious!) :slight_smile:
