Brisbane just had one of those news preview supers come up during Graham Norton advertising the 5pm news and extended bulletin, maybe it was meant to promote the additional bulletin later tonight? Strange.
A news update with Sandra Sully aired shortly after with fresh information, however no mention about the news bulletin later tonight.
Hopeless
I think Chiara just said to Perth viewers that there will be a special edition of 10 News at 7.45pm
They never learn do they?
People will switch to Seven and Nine at 6pm like they always do and now whatever is left of Pointlessâ audience have as well.
they canât just sit there and let Seven and Nine chew into their audience at 6pm.
In all honesty it canât be both ways imo. There is always an outcry on here that 10 needs to add a 6PM broadcast. Yet when they extend it, it appears to be an issue.
Fantastic coverage by 10, I had no need to switch over to the other channels tonight. Great job 10!
Letâs not forget that the last time Ten tried (and failed with) the News At Five/Six split, 6pm bulletins on both Seven & Nine ran for 30 minutes while current 10 News First Weekend presenter Chris Bath was lead weeknight anchor of Seven News Sydney.
Realistically itâs not going to happen (along with many other things Iâd like to see on TV) but if there was actually a 6pm edition with Bathie or Hugh presenting, Iâd probably watch it over the absolute mess that is currently Seven News Sydney although itâd probably take some high profile poachings to get myself and many Sydneysiders away from Nine News because TCN has most of the marketâs top presenters/reporters.
The Perth Bulletin also went for half an hour more tonight, with Sport being broken up into two sections.
Tim Gossage: âSports, Part IIâ
Good to see their commitment to News coverage slowly returning, but sadly on a day of horrific circumstances.
Well Ten Sydney is about halfway through Murielâs Wedding. I guess the 10:45 bulletin will be more like a 5 minute newsbreak?
Isnât it scheduled to finish at 10:47, what happened?
âThis is a special edition of 10 News Firstâ voice over to open this bulletin.

sandra sully should be commended they way she just presented the christchurch shooting up date . she seemed so sinecer
She talked Australia through 9/11. I wouldnât expect anything less. Love Sandra Sully!!
Quite a good broadcast tonight although the closing theme was incredibly loud and sudden.
Itâs times like this when I wish they still had a sombre version of the news theme.
Ten News Queensland ran a sombre piece of music to lead into the first break and the rest of the days news.
I wonder if theyâve got a sombre version of the main theme? If not they should definitely get onto it!
TV Tonight has posted the rattings for the extended 6pm bulletin last night.
So basically, a third of the audience disappears like they always do at 6pm and that portion rates about a quarter of Seven and Nine.
