The drawback of living in a rural area.

I am sure there will be more photos from the Coronation in Monday’s papers.

Does the local library have digital access to the papers? Try that.

Ratings are in. Seven won the night. ABC had the highest rated entry of the night (ABC + ABC News).

@TV.Cynic

Adding together the ceremony components the total FTA audience was approx. 2,260,000.

Thank God someone agrees. I’ve always thought Overton was boring, bland, and overrated. Never great on rolling coverage or the like.

Overton was the wrong host for this. I don’t think utilising a local state based presenters for national events is the right decision.Viewers outside of NSW barely know him. Seven opted to use national based presenters.

We won’t be seeing any of these special editions except in a digital form.

I thought the Australian was digital-only anyway (for today’s paper)

Murdoch papers to sell a souvenir magazine on May 17.

Ratings are a vindication for 7’s investment having hosts and commentators on location.

I agree, he was fantastic last night, as he was on the evening when the Queen passed away.

Yes I must admit that Seven had the better product out of all the networks last night. The extra investment in sending more resources over to cover it paid off.

@MrJ

Was that really a thing? Who is expecting critical coverage of a death/funeral?

IIRC a lot of people complained that ABC’s coverage of the Queen’s passing was too “one-sided” and didn’t present a critical perspective on the monarchy. But whatever ABC does it will never win, it will always be accused of being “too woke” by the right wing nutters, and “too Murdoch” by the left wing nutters – both sides seeing extreme bias when in reality probably none exists.

Either way, I didn’t see ABC’s coverage much at all, I stuck with Ten for most of it, expecting to be among the dozens of others doing the same, though Ten actually managed a decent figure by its usual standards. It was a basic coverage but I think did all that it needed to.

same on TV3 in NZ

Anyone watching 6pm bulletins on East Coast? Weirdly 9 Melbourne isn’t leading with the Coronation. Just some missing women who’s been found, but we knew she’d been found on Friday.

7 Melb was all Coronation - just going to first break before ‘the rest of the days news’ at 6:18.

[melbviewer]

I just don’t see how the Coronation isn’t the top story. It’s historically significant
