Ten News Content and Appearance

Sydney can get polished floors, new set elements and a lick of paint, but Melbourne and Brisbane get squat. Surprised they even updated the Brisbane desk logo, but they can’t even change those lightboxes…

At least you guys have a set - us in Adelaide are still waiting for one.

100%

Queensland’s watermark returned during the last ad of the first break, almost appeared that they crashed back in slightly.

Don’t love the backdrop for this tight shot.

Wouldn’t mind if the dot in the live bug was red.

Yeah it looks crap. I mean the set overall with the new package looks better, but it still looks like a broom cupboard setup that is very dated. The whole 3 screen setup is 12 years old!

Is it just me or does Jen sound like she has a swollen mouth? She doesn’t usually sound like that.

[Nicholas]

Any hint as to whether Queensland is still partially pre-recorded? Or are they fully live now?

[MossPickle]

Will find out after this ad break

@nimeton

Tiff said ‘10 News First’ twice in the update. They’ve muted the audio on the first mention of ‘First’.

@Nicholas

As @nimeton mentioned earlier, Tiff stuffed up the Adelaide update too and they manually cut the old name out. They forgot to cut it out at the end of the clip though

Here's your 10 News Adelaide update for Monday June 30: - Recent storms haven't helped SA's algal bloom problem as sealife including a shark, a dolphin... | By 10 News First Adelaide | Facebook

You will be happy to know that Tiff said “10 News” during the latest update.

Loving the new supers

[Nicholas]

Love the new Melbourne desk!!!

[Expensive_Horse5538]

Is that the old Queensland desk? Or am I getting confused?

Pretty sure its almost 12 years old, the Eyewitness news era aired 12 years ago (2013). I’m surprised the big plasmas still work.

[Nicholas]

I’m joking, nothing has changed.
Queensland and Melbourne both had replica desks at one point.

The screens are older yes, but the set itself was November 2014 when Candice started anchoring.

It’s 11 years - during the first year they just put (IIRC) the existing Melbourne desk in front of the three plasmas with wooden framing.

The when they added Candice to the bulletin, they got the new set and moved the bulletin to the old Adelaide studio.

Is QLD getting a live final half hour or still pre record.

And perhaps 10 Adelaide should use that newsroom backdrop instead of the green screen.

[killy06]

Fairly sure still pre-recorded in Qld.

[KICK-IT]

@TAir

Neglected so much, that Melbourne set will be 11 years old in November.

Surely that sits with the Melbourne news director?

Yes, funds need to be allocated from a network / national budget by folks in Pyrmont. But in 12 years a fund it gats to think a news director in the largest tv market in the country could not have made the strong case for budget for set upgrade. I doubt it’s been 12 years of no.

Feels like the local Melbourne news director has not cared much or mounted a good case for it.

Damm it - was hoping for a second that Adelaide could’ve gotten the old Melbourne desk

@Nicholas

Fair - that would make sense given IIRC they got it a few months after each other

I still wouldn’t call it a new set, all they did was swap the wooden frames to silver. The 3 screen setup just was wheeled over and a few extra panels plonked on the side.
