The Latest

whoops. meant to put this in the “ukraine” thread

Wonder if we’ll see special coverage on any of the networks on Friday and Saturday night, especially if the situation continues to deteriorate?

Programming beyond 8:30pm that will otherwise do under 300k, Seven have a perfect opportunity and to counter ACA on Sat at 7pm with a Sat edition of Latest (as the timeslot was originally changed for back in early 2020 for the beginning of coronavirus).

Could be third year in a row where a weekend or more has had programming upended by a major global breaking news event (2020: coronavirus, 2021: Prince Philip death and funeral).

Has the latest started? Because there is no FB live stream for some reason.

The first half-hour of the program was commercial-free and focused only on the situation with Russia and Ukraine. I thought it was quite well done.

It is a Local edition or a national edition.

Not sure. It is a Qld flood special though. Sharyn mentioned it at the end of the 6pm news and they showed a full screen graphic.

Now the suburb label reads “Red Hill” but with “Brisbane” added.

The Latest ran until around 9.47, so 40 minutes. Then The Amazing Race.

The Latest started in Melbourne at 11.13pm, with a cross to Robert Ovadia in Lismore. Was it included in the special Brisbane broadcast?

Promo for The Latest just aired in Brisbane at 10.18pm local time, presumably starting after TAR? No time was given … is that another edition? Replay?

The 9pm edition in Brisbane started with a cross to Joel Dry.

It looks like the bulletin shown in Melbourne right now is the national edition.

The 7.30pm program - Police Strike Force - finished late, and The Front Bar always runs overtime (which is nothing new). Thus The Latest began 25 minutes late.

As much as l love the front bar how can they let this happen all the time? They should just schedule the show to go for 90mins.
