Charlotte Italiano presented last night’s Darwin and Central Australia update - I think she did a great job 
Also noticed that the weather has been updated

Not a suitable backdrop to use. Should be a backdrop of Darwin instead.

They just did a whoopsie and forgot to cover up the “Tasmania” under the 7 like they usually do for these updates.

Yeah the Tasmania isn’t ideal but I doubt most people would notice given it was a bit blurry and off to the side. A Darwin backdrop would be much better for the updates though.

She’s competent in reading the weather yeah, haven’t suggested otherwise.
A reporter who can report during the day, cover weather news etc, would also be fantastic.

And again last night. I wonder why?

A complete guess but it’s likely that both cameras in the Hobart studio can’t be sent to Launceston simultaneously to accommodate the split screen, so when both news and sport have come out of Hobart that Josh has effectively been on a live cross in the actual newsroom.

Interesting SCA have an Automation Pilot job advertised in Launceston at present:
- Co-ordinate control room functions, providing leadership and supervision of co-pilot and other technical crew.
- Maintain, review and check daily rundown and automation functions in coordination with the line producer to ensure smooth broadcast operations.
- Monitor and manage Mosart graphical user interface and associated production software, such as Maestro and Quantel.
- Create and manage iNews and Mosart templates.
- Edit video elements for the daily news, including headlines, teases and promos
- Perform and manage audio, and ingest functions
Sounds like a Vis Mosart /iNews shop similar to what Seven use on the mainland.
You don’t see TV ops jobs advertised in Launceston very often.

Louise Houbaer is now on maternity leave. Nick Kelly presented weather tonight. Bizarre he didn’t present sport as well.

I think they just roll a dice to decide who does what.

Kim Millar just closed the bulletin (after being thrown under the bus by Murph for Black Friday indulgence!) that Michael Maney is returning to our screens to present the weekend bulletins while Lou is on maternity leave. Not a bad choice and another blast from the past like when Kim returned after Jo left.

I would’ve expected Ruby Cairns or Mark Zita.
Imagine if they brought Jo Palmer back to present on weekends while Louise is on maternity leave.

Unlikely to happen with the political conflict of interest now.
