Yes it appears that it will continue until 3:31 AEDT (3:01 ACDT with no more DWTS encore).
I have âBREAKING NEWSâ on BOLD in Sydney for a nominal 30 minute period but the news is on Ten. Normal EPG for Ten here.
From 10 regarding week 11 ratings numbers for 10 News First at 6pm

This is critical. Not only is it lifting year on year which is not hard given the shit they aired last year at this time but week on week there were more viewers at 6pm for ten. Probably due to a big news week but still good.

It will be interesting when daylight savings ends in Sydney and Melbourne in a couple of weeks.
Indeed and more people stuck inside
Slight update to the 6pm handover for Melbourne. Full 7 day forecast now happens at 6pm (before Mike would tell viewers to stay tuned at 6.25pm).
Jen then restarts with âTonightâ rather than ârecapping our top storiesâ
Going off this video, it looks like there is a new panel on the right side of the Melbourne set now.
Mustâve been added this week because I donât recall seeing it.
EDIT: Just looked back at some other videos on their Twitter and it seems that the panel has made its first appearance tonight.
No need to adjust for social distancing when youâve had a single talent for news and wide berths built into your set for presentation. 
10 News First broke into programming just after 2.00pm about Bondi Beach closing. Strange that they went national with this.

I actually donât mind Nineâs now either. Both graphics are quite clean.
Seven on the other handâŚ

I donât see whatâs wrong with their graphics either other than the stupid COVID-19 virus graphic on the side.

Nineâs graphics are great. It took a bit of growing on me (especially the new logo) but it does feel quite fresh and clean⌠especially how they removed a lot of the âcrapâ from their graphics that the previous package had.

I could write a 5000 word essay about how much I dislike Sevenâs overall presentation in their markets, but as a graphics designer they are failing to achieve the trend of a clean look. Brisbane bulletin especially, the 3D presentation graphics etc are horrendous.
