Why does Ten not do what TV3 and C4 used to do for the supercars. Which was carry the supercars on TV3 till 6pm news then hand it over to C4 to continue playing.
Because who wouldnât wanna watch the cricket in HD/ any other sports? It adds to the coverage and excitement IMO.
TV3 and C4 are both HD yeah?

They took the âFirst At Fiveâ tag out of the title card and the voice over but itâs still on the watermark and the central plasma.

Neither of them were at the time.
Iâd be interested in seeing the opener if anyone recorded it. Havenât heard the voice over without âfirst at fiveâ since 2014! :o

It has been done before this year when Tenâs bulletin started at 4.30 instead of 5, because of the live coverage of Rugby Union.
@lachlan_kennedy joined Paul Henry on Friday from the newsroom
Dreamworldâs chief executive is hoping for plenty of community support when it opens its doors tomorrow, just six weeks since the disaster on the Thunder River Rapids Ride claimed the lives of four people.
For every person who visits, the park is pledging AU$25 of their ticket price will go to the Australian Red Cross. There are also donations planned for those affected by the tragedy.
Channel Tenâs Lachlan Kennedy spoke to Paul Henry about the charity re-opening weekend.

They crossed to Lachlan a few months ago as well when the accident first occurred.

Iâm pretty sure Supercars were in HD on TV3 for the last season MediaWorks had the rights⌠I can distincly remember Shaun Summerfield harping on about it every race weekend⌠until coverage resumed on (SD) C4.

Something going on at Ten News Sydney? Seemed like a temporary set to me although I only caught the end #relaunch

Really? What makes you say this.
Just saw part of the opening shot via Twitter and it looks normal to me.
Yes just took at look at Tenplay and all is normal. Is that a new Sydney shot behind Hugh though? #norelaunch

Wouldnât that blue sky backdrop on Sydneyâs news be a seasonable thing for Summer/DST? A common feature with some of Tenâs more recent graphics packages for their news.
Speaking of relaunches, do we expect a new set for Sydney any time soon?
Personally, I donât see Ten relaunching with a completely new Sydney/national news set anytime soon however I certainly think there could be some tweaks made.

Itâs what I sort of thought. Maybe they could utilise the TV wall a bit more to have a variety of presenting styles. It would be cool if they went back to the Rowe/Wilson days and have the newsroom as the backdrop, but I donât see that happening anytime soon.

I wonder if the TVs are able to be removed so it is just the wooden surrounds.
