Looks like they are copying and pasting the EPG data.

I think GTV could have gone with a more less severe headline there.

Fox Cricket’s special was good - especially given they’d have had to pull it together fairly rapidly this morning (although given the timing, there have been a number of the team around for the test coverage)

Seven News. Melbourne had the most coverage especially at the start of the bulletin. Brisbane had the least with some of the reports during the sport segment.

Something I never thought I’d hear: Chants of “Warnie” at the football.
Great touch.

The Australian’s Media section has an article on how the media covered Shane Warne’s death on Saturday.
While News Corp’s city-based metro papers in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide managed to get hundreds of thousands of printed copies with the Warne news onto the streets on Saturday morning, The Australian chose to publish a special digital replica front page of The Weekend Australian.
Data compiled for The Australian by media research company Streem shows the news of Warne’s death attracted extraordinary interest from readers of websites of all major news sites in Australia, with articles relating to the ex-cricketer on Saturday more than doubling the combined online traffic of the stories about the conflict in Ukraine and the devastating floods in NSW and Queensland.
I hate the way (some) media grab at anything they can find to create a story. This morning there was an interview with a woman booked to give him a pedicure and now there’s cctv footage of two women arriving to give him a massage. Enough already.
