Is it just me or is Brisbane’s backdrop a lot bluer than say, Sydney’s version?

Yeah I thought it was. It is much better IMO.

[killy06]

Agree, just needs less scan lines.

Sig outs have been Americanized. All three US networks use that format of name, organization, location.

I don’t think you can characterise that style or sequence of sign off as American.

“Name, Organisation, Location” have been used by Australian and British broadcasters as well as American for decades.

It may be fair to say the style originated in the US 50 or 60 years ago but it’s nothing new.

I didn’t realise this still happened. As mentioned on the traffic report; a thank you to a school that was visited with the traffic helicopter. Used to see it a lot with weather reporters.

Tonight’s opener without the weather wall

[killy06]

Weather wall could be being used elsewhere for possible studio coverage of the Socceroo’s game tonight?

[MBB]

I feel like last Sunday it was the same? Very tight shots and no weatherwall?

Socceroos game coming out of Melbourne tonight so that wouldn’t be it.

[killy06]

Looks like Sydney to me Those same screens are used for The Sunday Project.

[lexington]

Melbourne does the sport.

SC10-produced Ten Eyewitness News promo from 2015:

[bubandbob]

Wow. I’m not sure why they mentioned the traffic, because it would be irrelevant in 95% of situations for regional viewers unless it something on, say, the F3 heading up to Newcastle.

[nimeton]

No mention at the top of Melbourne’s bulletin about the storms currently moving over the city. Pre prepared stories on terrorism. Would have thought to embrace their ‘first’ tag the storm would have been worth a brief mention and undertaking of more details to follow later in the bulletin…

[lexington]

maybe it was just rain?

[AustralianAerial]

You underestimate how much us Melbournians will talk about the weather

[nimeton]

Maybe it was just rain but it was rain that caused flash flooding, power outages and extensive traffic disruptions at the end of the work day. 7 and 9 both did live crosses as their second story even after the event had passed.

10 eventually made references in traffic and weather reports. Just felt it was a bit of a missed opportunity to cover an event as it was happening but, fair enough, maybe thats not their focus.

Looks like they are broadcasting via an iPhone either that or they were doing something for social.

[nimeton]

Same set up used for cross on The Project, including delayed audio so that must be all they have. I don’t mind it - looks a bit more real/urgent.
