It is first though, ahead of Seven and Nine’s flagship 6pm bulletins.
It will be on ABC News channel only, not ABC TV.

They could air the first 30 mins on Bold before it switches over, but they really should offer an alternative rather than saturating every channel with coverage.
They could just stream it on 10play, FB, YouTube etc.
