Sounds easy and it should take no effort to achieve… but you just know life is never that simple.
What you suggest is a good idea… but it would require a definitive outcue at the end of the weather “and that’s your forecast” would do and then a pause to allow for a clean exit. If that doesn’t happen it would look even worse than it does now.
And with the SC building in Canberra slated for the bulldozer you’d assume they’ll just move to an office now with no need for any kind f studio facility.
If I’m not mistaken, SCA playout is still being done from Canberra for now but there are plans to move it to the joint Seven/Nine facility at Frenchs Forest.
You’re right… apparently the change happens in 2020 (Google is my friend)
So that means there’ll be 2 major outsource centres for play out; MediaHub for ABC, Win, Prime7 and assorted others and NPC for Seven, Nine, SCA and presumably others.
That’s leaves just 10 and SBS doing their own playout?
