In Sydney the opening came on for 6 seconds but just just a still slide; then a promo and ads took over before the late start.

So at what point does The Chase get axed 😛  
Listen - losing to TP is one thing, losing to 10 News First is another

In all seriousness, kudos to 10 for pulling this news figure out recently. Fingers crossed they can maintain it.

That’s great for Nat and the Perth crew.

Nat always presents flawlessly and never misses a beat. I’ve been in the control room, with her patiently waiting in Perth, while other presenters struggle to get updates right. One thing I truly miss about my time at 10 is working with her she was an absolute joy to work with.

The under-desk lighting was updated late last week. Much stronger colour now; subtle but looks great.

Please excuse the large amount of posts about the Sydney set lately, but it seems that my favourite cameraman has definitely not left the building.

It was presumed that some works in Sydney over Christmas could’ve been associated with a possible introduction of robotic cameras, but this may not have been the case

LOl that’s nothing compared to the output Como Centre used to put out. Taking away Ten Melb’s track record of making fun, smart and irreverent mid-morning TV for another show made by Sydney spivvs featuring Sydney spivvs was a huge mistake.

Candice is still not up to it. Her voice is still too forced and unnatural. Sacking Helen Kapalos was the original error.

With most Robotic Studio camera setups, the pedestal positioning/movement within the studio is part of the robotics.  
You can go cheap & just have a RC camera head sitting on a fixed tripod.  
In Nines news studios, most of their camera pedestals are on tram tracks which limit movement to what those tracks allow.

P&T are pedestal controlled  
Z is camera controlled
