Other than local Sunrise crews, I would doubt those newsrooms have any reporters/photogs working dayside until about 7am and that would only be shortly after the assignment editor and some producers get in.
Each newsroom would have to basically add on one entire shift.
Is there a reason why the sunrise staff could not work on 2 minute local news windows in each market?
How many staff would 7 Perth have in the newsroom to put to air what it does?
Aren’t they working for Sunrise already? I mean in Adelaide or Brisbane, it’d be 1 reporter.
A barebones local crew reporting for Sunrise would only be talent, photog, maaaaybe a local producer, though I suspect most teams will just get direction from Sydney.
The only broadcast-related staff at the 7 station would probably be master control through the overnight, said assignment editor and some producers coming in maybe 6am, then talent photogs doing dayside work from 7 or so.
If you want a real basic set of local updates in the AM, you’ll need at least an overnight stringer, an editor, two or three producers, and a reader. Oh, and two or three in the control room, too. Toss in a reporter/photog team, perhaps, and give them a LiveU.
How many staff would 7 Perth have for what they do in Sunrise? 8?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe most Sunrise Perth bulletins are 5 minutes, but some are closer to 10 (I might be confused with Today Perth)? And I think they might have two live crews most mornings.
Based on those presumptions, perhaps either side of a dozen?
Really depends on whats making news, some (particularly those in the 8AM hour) only go for 2-3 minutes.
A dozen people needed for 3
Minutes of content in a small market?
Really?
I feel it could be far less…
I was presuming they were running longer bulletins, but again, I also may be confused with Today Perth.
If you’re looking for literally only rip-and-reads and maybe a vosot or two for 2 minutes, maybe 5 or 6 people.
What I don’t know is the business side - how much local advertising gets put on in the morning vs. national. Depending on what you can command, returns may justify the investment.
Here is what 7 Perth does for Sunrise. It’s 5 minutes. I feel this is 6-8 people or so to get to air?

If Seven can justify the cost in a small market like Perth, I don’t know why this can’t be done in east coast cities
I’m sure if Seven or Nine had the interest in doing that for Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide they would. But the east coast cities already get breakfast coverage live (except DST when QLD is only 1hr behind) and most national products are typically Sydney-skewed and east coast-skewed (because that’s where the population is). Adelaide is 30min behind so the delay is not as significant, but being one of Seven’s O&O markets it still gets some coverage.
Compare that to WA which is currently 3 hours behind Sydney due to DST. Any news aired in Sunrise is old by the time it airs on delay in Perth. Add to the fact that there’s sometimes news from outside of Perth considering it’s the whole state of WA that is behind, updated news is important. A lot can happen in 3 hours, just look at the current COVID-19 crisis for a perfect example.
Yeah, looks about that.
With regards to the SCA news services, I think they could be formatted better to focus on the day ahead and include automated segments for the latest weather and even traffic. Though I’m baffled at how traffic is reported on most stations here.
Yea they don’t care. It’s a real shame. In Europe they have an abundance of local news in the AM in cities smaller than the Gold Coast just a few hours apart.
Aussie stations have zero clue or interest in covering traffic. Zero.
With all the talk about graphics for Nine-produced noodle updates for SCA, were the in-house Nine Tasmania updates sent the new package when it launched or is it still using the old one?
This. is. so. awkward.
Your. Nightly. News. Is…
Also if they are on break, why put the 7PM on 7TWO promo in the bottom corner?
I feel like with SCAs current financial situation that the chance of it returning after 2 weeks is very low.
Remove John Hunt and it’s a perfectly fine promo/update.
“HELLO I’M JOHN HUNT”
“And I’m Louise Houbaer”
“THE COVID-19 CRISIS PANDEMIC IS THE BIGGEST CRISIS FACING THE COUNTRY SINCE WWII.”
Having two presenters but not standing together is also a weird choice. Even with social distancing, just move them further apart and have a wider camera shot.
i agree there is a very low chance it will be returning in two weeks . and neither will 9 regional news
