I like the strategic positioning of the screen in front of the TASMANIA part of the 7 logo there!
Glad to hear the updates are getting better. I was hoping they would after a bit of time and getting into the routine of things.

Very nice. Is it a video like the last one was before it was paused indefinitely?

No, it’s just paused

I think you all need to realise these are composite images from various parts of their broadcast operations… the above darker image is looking through a window to the Launceston news studio with the reflection of the control room in the window behind the presenter. The 7 Tas logo has been inserted digitally. The lighter version with Alex Sykes is the same control room (Launceston) but from the opposing angle to that of the darker version.

I admire their creativity. End result looks great! Explains the camera silhouette.

Thanks for the info there. I had wondered whether it was a proper picture or composite. Either way it does look great and I didn’t realise there was the black and white logo versions.

Kim Millar has presented the Tasmanian news this weekend on account of Louise having her baby last week. It will be interesting to see if Kim will continue to present tomorrow or if Tom or Letitia will fill in.

Yes, had noticed that Kim had been presenting this weekend and thought that Lou must be close as she’s been looking very ready the past few weeks. Glad to hear she’s had the baby. There was also another weather presenter at different times lately too and I haven’t seen Murph for a bit… maybe he could return to the news reader chair for a while!

Letitia Wallace presented Saturday’s bulletin in Tas with Lou on maternity leave and Kim having done a lot of nights. I think there might have been Tom Johnson one night as well but I can’t remember, has been a rough week where I missed most nights of the news.

Here are some SCA 10 News Updates I recorded on VAST (via VLC) tonight that I’ve uploaded on YT. Notice the different music beds between the QLD and NSW/VIC updates?

These are pretty good, short and sharp as they should be. News seems pretty decent and current too. Quality looks average, assume that’s cause they were recorded from VAST?
All the presenters seem pretty good too, Grace Evans in particular is quite good but the blinking is a bit distracting.

I agree that Grace Evans is a good presenter, given that she was reporter for 9 News in Bendigo before she started reading these updates 
Makenna Baily is also a great presenter, while Sophie Jacobsen has improved slightly

Is production split between Lonnie and Hobart? Could be down to the stylistic choice of different editing teams?

The NSW, VIC and Tassie updates are produced in Hobart, while the QLD updates are produced in Launceston
