Not sure what happened tonight but it was the shortest weather in history.
Came back from the ad-break about 6:58 or 6:59 and Murph had the current temps up and said something along the lines of “we had weather today but due to massive timing issues we can’t bring it all to you tonight” with Kim also saying along the lines of “I knew I talked a lot tonight but I didn’t know it was that much”.
They’ve promised weather updates tonight. Also, I noticed a new promo at the end of one of the updates tonight including all the previous logos and a 60 years celebration with the date of the first broadcast of TNT9. Will get some caps later but just a heads up for anyone who might be able to get it.
I’d say it’s going to run for the next few weeks and I reckon with a few stories coming along as well if they haven’t already. I don’t get much time to watch the news fully these days with having to censor some parts for the kids/the nights I’m out.
From an industry point of view I don’t get this at all. Surely things can be dropped from the rundown to give weather more time. Perhaps an inexperienced Line Up or Control Room Producer?
Very possible. The arrangement they had with Seven for the brand relaunch was either miscommunicated or broke down, so for all we know Seven has refused to provide them with what they need to update the graphics
Well how does it explain Seven Tasmania (Southern Cross at the time) being able to use the 2011-2013 Seven News graphics when Seven were using them at the same time?
6:30 - 6:45 tonight was not only dedicated to a walk down memory lane but a walk around the old studio with some old faces with acoustic music overlay of “take me back” played by former employees.
I hope TNT manages to donate these vintage items to a history museum for everyone to see, before the SCA guys are ready to punch the “sell” button on the station.
That map projection alone warrants its own exhibition in a museum and needs to be preserved. So many legendary newsreaders presenting in front of it. It graced many newsrooms but none longer than TNT9!
