Seven have really nailed this.
Chris Reason doing a top job.
I really love these straps.
Not going to lie, haven’t been able to watch much of the coverages. But tuned-in to a confused Ch 9 (the EPG changed three times in 5 minutes) for Footy Classified… Which did not start.
Got a 10min news break with Peter Overton, it was as the above comment alluded to pretty poor, with Peter fluffing his very first word “good” (morning? afternoon? evening?) and reporter Alice Monfires clearly getting frustrated with a producer, removing her ear piece after each time Peter spoke to her.
And I reckon I saw more about the Beaconsfield Mine re-hashed and an interview with survivor Todd from Melbourne, than actual news from Thailand.
I’m finished for tonight, @TV.Cynic, would you be able to cap some of the Perth special?
Here’s Seven’s coverage
There’s really no point doing an early morning bulletin. The rescues won’t resume until after 10am Thai time so there is nothing more to report than what was reported in this evening’s updates,.
After several years of Ten being in the wilderness when it comes to breaking news, it’s fabulous seeing the network making an effort and doing a great job.
Now that is a first! As far as I’m aware, Seven Perth have never used a different desk graphic other than the typical 7 NEWS logo since the set’s debut in 2015! Wonder if they’ll utilize it more since they appear to be using it…
Another first for 7 news at the closing Amelia Said “More coverage from 5am on sunrise im Amelia Broun Goodnight”
I can’t remember the last time a Perth presenter signed off with there name!!!
Just the opener from Perth showing the desk
Seven proving tonight that they can indeed run to schedule late at night if they want to, special bulletin started at 10pm on the dot.
These late specials have been great, not sure if he would want to do it due to his kids but a 10pm news/public affairs style show with Michael Usher could be fantastic. It won’t happen, I know, but we can dream.
TEN covered the developments last night fantastically… there was no need for bulletins or breaking into programming, what possibly could be said to fill 30 minutes???
A breaking news strap and a fresh update for those that missed the super is perfect.
Ross Dagan for the win.
EDIT: The Project went live into Perth to redo their east coast Thai coverage with live crosses back to Amber. This Perth edition was then used as the encore ep. Awesome job.
I henceforth name this forum Lexingtonspy
oh pish posh, I’ve just got good sources
Those Ten Breaking News supers would look great in their actual bulletin #relaunch
Seven managed to fill a 50 minute news bulletin quite easily (though they were helped by developments occuring during it)
