Just a national promo for Sunrise shown in Queensland. Should have included the return of local inserts.

Katrina Blowers mentioned it at the end of the 6pm bulletin.

Yes. I heard that. Didn’t think it would have as much impact as a promo or message from Bianca.

2 thoughts about the Qld news inserts:
- Can they please just call it the “Brisbane studios”? “Brisbane television centre” sounds stupid.
- If the remainder of the show is on an hour’s delay, why is Bianca always rushed toward the end of the weather, sounding like she is about to be cut off as she says “back to Nat” or whatever…

I would presume on your last point that it has to fit into a certain window of minutes and seconds, so it doesn’t throw the show out of sync.
If they go longer than the window, then news is out later next hour etc and the show itself runs long.

He was on Good Morning Britain earlier, and they aired some footage from Sunrise with Koch too.

I get that, but given they know the time they have, why is it rushed? Even if it went over, we’d be talking 1 or 2 seconds not to sound rushed.

I am guessing here but when you’re getting a countdown in your ear, it naturally makes you speed up to finish on time.
They’ve probably gone over earlier in the bulletin and are needing to make up time.

In such a short time frame, having live reports is bound to cause havoc with the timing. Even if they’re only a second or two overtime, it’s a second that has to be found elsewhere. It’s why the hour long bulletins sometimes cut weather down to quite a quick overview. I guess the current solution, rather than drop content all together, is to just speed up the delivery slightly to still get the content in.
Not the best solution but dropping content from a 5 minute window wouldn’t be a good look either because it would be obvious (since it would probably be the weather update).
I actually wouldn’t mind the idea of these updates using ‘look live’ crosses instead of genuine lives, because at least then the timing can be executed perfectly.
I haven’t seen a sunrise insert this year, but I know last year they finished by checking a QLD skycam, which is good because they often overlaid the vision with music for 5 seconds or so which acts as a bit of a time buffer if the presenter doesn’t finish at the right time.

It often sounds worse/obvious because Bianca finishes in a heightened voice, rather than the inflection in her voice coming down at the end of the last sentence… if that makes sense…
