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.

On a slightly different note surely it wouldn’t be hard to having some standing presentation using a similar angle in future, just pan the camera around a bit and maybe zoom out a touch to capture the logo on the front of the desk.

John is probably in that spot to hide the “TASMANIA” on the desk

There is no requirement for SCA to provide local news within GTS/BKN so…

Yeah, axing or even closing its news service completely (God forbid both) is a voluntary option. Plus, the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill, NSW are SCA monopolies. What other choice for TV news would those living there when they go on a break? Nothing.

A new watermark for 7 Tas news tonight with the hashtag to stay home. I know it was a couple of weeks ago but I killed my personal computer and now have it resurrected and I should have the 9:30 bulletin from a couple of weeks ago uploaded to YouTube soon.

With the SCA Nine channels now at NPC, some elements of the Tasmania updates are now in HD - the camera shot, super and weather graphics:

Looks a right sight better than Nine’s other noodle updates though… somehow

I’m not from Tassie but am curious. As SCA broadcast both Seven and Nine do the presenters ever appear on both channels.

Not quite - the Nine ones come from Hobart now and do occasionally include 7 reporters/presenters. I’m pretty sure Louise Houbar (formerly Hedger) has done a couple of the Nine ones but Ruby Commane above definitely files regular reports for 7. Some of the footage used is from 7 as well if they do show any footage

Just need to fix some sound issues, hopefully tonight - work has been going crazy.
In other news, 7 Tas is now showing the Premier’s update live - they’ve been Facebook streaming since Thursday but now they’ve gone to TV with them as well - previously only a few minutes would appear sometimes on ABC News 24.

A logical decision which they don’t understand.
