4am? How absolutely ridiculous.

I love a massive news orgy as much as the next cynical forum poster, but 4am? No offense to the trapped team (who I assume will be reading this thread), but literally the only people who will be awake to catch the coverage will be cleaners, insomniacs with an affinity for informercials, and the production teams at Seven and Nine.
The only upside to this is that I actually think people care about this situation. Deserves it infinitely more than the Corby Clusterfuck.

I know the old saying “don’t watch if ya don’t want to” but I’m finding this all overboard? Doesn’t warrant it. Not even a local story.
if they get out alive, it’ll be the biggest good news story of the year…

Then report it when that happens. Break into live programming the moment they come out. What could they possibly report at 9:30pm when they’ve said they won’t be out until at least after midnight?
I’m a believer in the ‘bulletin to wrap things up’ too (that TEN do so well)

Since it appears that we’re going to enter “rolling coverage overload” with a massive amount of attention by news organisations around the world, the question may as well be asked now…
Will an Australian TV program like 60 Minutes or Sunday Night try and eventually secure a “Major World Exclusive” interview with the coach, players and/or parents if the rescue is a success?
