Seven & Ten News (SCA)

it’sd 100% a great entry into the indistry for budding reporters, but sadly it seems it’s not so much a training ground anymore as just having people there for the sake of it.

Having VJs absolute is detrimental to the quality of the product, but it’s just the way they’ve done it for years so it ain’t going to improve anytime soon. Imagine eventually they’ll switch to the noodle update model unfortunately.

Yup, it used to be done in Port Pirie and was very much a local product, then the changed it to be run by people interstate who don’t care for it.


Big weekend for me!

Was gonna say that mic is overly dinged up for being “new” until I realised its been just over three and a half years since the rebrand to Nightly News :astonished:

Time flies, it seems

It’s just the stickers that need replacing.

More than that. The mic itself is a bit battered.

mate you can see in the picture it’s a bit dinged up, but like most tv equipment is like that, it’s just an observation he’s not having a dig,

Something very interesting I have noted when Louise Houbaer presents. Watching via YouTube when she is presenting the bulletin, there is no shot of the set, fading straight to her. Is is because it is coming out of Hobart or set upgrades?

Also something to note is that John Hunt hasn’t presented a bulletin since June 9, with Madelaine Kerr replacing him. Is this permanent I wonder, or if he is just taking leave from the bulletins?

Finally, an image from Wednesday of @DJPizarro on the bulletin:

Re Tas- weekends don’t have any many staff on the manage multiple cameras etc, but they do have the full set in Hobart.

Re SA- Yeah John was taken off it a while ago, same time around when Ruby left.

Simply because it’s coming from Hobart.

When the new sets first launched they used the wide shot and the presenter slow zoom in Hobart, but not for a very long time and exactly zero times since Canberra relocated to Hobart.

The camera in Hobart is already locked off for their 17 local editions of noodle updates and the Spencer Gulf News. Makes sense to just leave it alone when Louise presents, save having to reset everything.

Don’t some of the noodle updates come from Launceston? I understand the Queensland ones did/still do.

We need more Information on those Noodle Update Presenters.

Ruby Cairns presents the Southern NSW/ACT updates
Kasey Wilkins presents the Regional VIC updates
Victoria Eastoe presents the QLD updates
Alex Sykes presents the TAS & NT updates - and is also the weather presenter for the Spencer Gulf News.

Victoria’s LinkedIn mentions she’s in Launceston so I guess the others are in Hobart.

7 Tasmania tonight… talk about amateur hour!

Staff obviously need a refresher on how to use mosart properly

If you listen you can hear that they have the wrong template loaded so every time they go to playout with vo audio its bring up the Hobart fader which the operator quickly is swapping faders. as a consequence it cuts off the first word.
