You say this like they have the money or the will to invest in news :wink:

They have money but they just don’t spend it on FTA/news. Everything is Paramount+ focused.

Hence me saying “have the money” - they don’t for the news and FTA aspect of their brand :+1:

Even though I think the three-screen backdrop has run its course, this is one way to keep it fresh.

Has any city used it like this before? Feels like it’s a rare thing.

I have to admit, you are right. I was watching the Melbourne feed by off chance as I use a gps fake location on my android phone to fake the IP address to watching Ten Melbourne from Perth, not just is it visually unappealing and looks like a chicken has been burnt on it upside down.

The studio floor was painted? Still looks like the same grey uneven vinyl flooring to me.

10 allows you to change your location in settings within the 10 play app on mobile and some smart tv apps, makes it very easy to switch between states.

Hmmm doesn’t loook like it :joy:

The red looks so nice faded with the blue for the late background

Watching the afternoon news this afternoon on 10 play, was surprised to see this (sans Late News) air during the break - not sure if broadcast are still getting these as well?

Sorry, meant to write *still getting these. Been a while since I’ve seen this on 10 play.

Would’ve thought they’d have updated all templates to include Late as well by now - strange some omit it and others don’t.

The lighting on the late News tonight looks different?

From a distance i couldn’t tell it was a green screen.

Looks great, much closer to the lighting in the main studio which is a huge improvement.

Issues in Qld tonight where the wrong package played about 5:25pm, they almost finished most of it before returning to Sharyn who apologied and then threw to Liz for a weather update.

Edit:

Pretty big error now with weather graphics. Getting some of the national graphics, can tell cause they’re from Sydney as they are zoomed out maps with lower placed supers with “tomorrow” etc for the Sydney video wall.

They even just played out the Sydney backdrop with Josh Holt’s name on it :man_facepalming:t3: while Liz was running through temps etc.
