Each to their own. 
I thought Nines âsliding picturesâ story image they ran for their whole coverage on the wall, prior to cutting to the live crosses, looked average. The live cross animation was good, other then that nothing great.
Tens opened looked fair superior IMO. Most likely due to the atrium.

Hereâs something interesting I noticedâŚ
They removed the still backdrop from the right of the set but it seems that the two screens remain there⌠despite never actually being seen since the relaunch

20 second promo just aired in Brisbane, promoting fire coverage. I just caught the end of it, âwhen it matters most, turn to Ten News First.â

As far as I remember they were never used. Sort of a shame really.

You still donât see any promotions on high rotation in prime time. They really should have one 10second ad every break time.

Thatâs definitely something that needs to improve in 2019 - the 10 News First promos particularly need to be pumped out during the more popular shows like MasterChef, The Bachelor/ette, Gogglebox & Have You Been Paying Attention? IMO!
Probably the only time Iâve seen a news promo on Ten recently, it was played in a late night timeslot where it wouldnât have had much impact.
Slick as.

A travesty they donât have this at 6-7 as well. It would build an audience - not #1, but an audience.

A travesty? We have a weatherman acting the fool during a deadly weather event and two months old Youtube clips presented as news from that event. I suppose if they want to stick with light entertainment and comedy at 6pm the product would be perfect, but as a credible news service it wonât compete with Seven and Nine.

I was talking about Brisbane but anyway. I think you are being slightly cherry-picky there. If you want to soil a news serviceâs reputation, happy to go through the annals of Seven and Nine News.
What do you mean cherry picky?
Pleased to hear the cat in the raincoat YouTube clip didnât make the Brisbane bulletin last night. I donât need to soil their reputation when they do a perfectly good job of doing it themselves with shit like that. It used to be a polished, watchable news service. I canât take them seriously anymore. Even the title makes me cringe.

Here we go again ââââ
The adjective form of the verb cherry pick⌠although not an adjective that is generally accepted by those who speak English goodly.
To cherry pick is to selectively choose examples that suit the point you are trying to make.
In the regional Australian context, pre-aggregation channels in the bush would often be referred to as âcherry picking from the capital city networksâ because they would choose what they wanted from any of the 3 commercial networks and show a mix on a single channel in respective areas.
Class dismissed.
Goodbye my esteemed teacher 
In all seriousness though, I donât think @Newsweary was cherry picking. He was talking about the OTT weather report Bailey pumped (out of primetime) last night and saying how thatâs not the best form of weather report for TV news (heck you donât even see that in America or UK, at least not in primetime). Others may disagree, but I personally agree in regards to this.
If a weather presenter is a weather presenter, then their job is to present the weather in an engaging way, not like Mr Bailey who clearly looked like he was auditioning for a reboot of Singing in the Rain.

You have learned well grasshopper 
My reply though wasnât a commentary on our esteemed colleague @NewsWeary (with whom I agree on this matter) rather an explanation of cherry picking, which incidentally can have a completely different meaning n the context of porn videosâŚ, just sayin

KABC-7âs Dallas Raines comes close with his dramatic movements across the chroma key- the famous âDallas Dipâ, fist pumps and golf swings. He even has the same weathered look Bailey does. At least he has the credentials and expertise to make him a popular, credible weather presenter and doesnât quite do the full on aerobics routine Bailey does every night.
