It’s just the stickers that need replacing.

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

They’re just speed holes, they make the mic go faster

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.

Yeah you’re incorrect. Automation was glitching tonight not because of an incorrect template.

Thank you for your constructive feedback.

That’s pretty disappointing, surely the ENPS (If they’re even using that, or know what it is) would dictate what camera and graphics need to be set up where and when.

No disrespect but don’t be overly critical of that response, the entire SCA operation comes across as amateur and this is coming from a semi-regular viewer. Simple improvements to the bulletin would make it go a long way, I’ve listed my thoughts on this above.

You’re entitled to an opinion, but keep in mind there’s people who do read these forums, in our industry who do hard work to put out a product they are proud of. So I don’t appreciate being told not to be overly critical when I know what actually happened.

Does MediaSpy need to know every single and finite detail of what happens behind the scenes?

No.
