Good. They probably also realised that given how Saturday nights rate for them, news is a lot more important atm.
Finished at 6:30pm with Chris stating there would be a special bulletin at 8:15pm.
Be interesting to see what they do tomorrow night. Might be some merit in having news leading into I’m a Celebrity.
I think if anything they’ll switch over to Bold for news
What’s on air in Perth right now? 8.15pm Sydney time is 5.15…
Bulletin started closer to 8:18 in the east… I think Perth is getting a repeat of 5pm Eastern news at the moment.
Ten have posted a story on their twitter page with Teagan George reporting from Bega before it even finished airing in their special bulletin. The report was meant to be ‘live’.
I’m watching the Perth feed and Melbourne. Looks like Perth is actually getting live and the East is getting the Perth bulletin on about 20 minute delay. Chris made a comment after the weather preview saying “I think you mean 5 to 9” when Kate said she’d have more at ‘5 to 6’ (which would be correct for Perth).
Not a bad way to do it all said and done. Clever use of what they have.
they could always do the news till 6.30pm as a lead in to Graham Norton.
Probably will.
Very smart from Ten, and a perfect example of the flexibility of the national bulletin.
The 8.15pm bulletin was very watchable. Contained new reporters, updated information and WA news, meaning you could have watched the 5pm bulletin and this without it feeling repetitive.
How long did the 8.15pm bulletin last for?
One hour
Sounds like - as has been surmised - the West coast bulletin was broadcast on delay into the east coast. (assuming delay to fit in to the end of Madagascar)
When does Monika start?
I thought I read it was tomorrow ? Or the week after.
Narelda still features in promos, so unless 10 are asleep at the wheel, it’s looking like Monday after next.
I also thought Jan 6 but yeah doesn’t look that way.
If its the 13th, it would make sense as Narelda joins Studio 10 on the 13th too.
