The Latest got a promo in Sydney during the news. No time mentioned.

No promo in Queensland or mention at the end of the bulletin but a reminder to tune into Sunrise.

The Latest was always a bit different to the rest of 7News, I’d give them a pass to do their own thing.

Plus, not too sure viewers would appreciate bright white graphics and supers late at night :joy:

Is this new? A special feature on the crisis facing the local construction industry was posted on YouTube tonight.

So this wasn’t aired on TV anywhere?

It is an extended version of the segment that aired the other night. I’m pretty sure it didn’t last 18 minutes on air.

What was “First Edition” is now an in-depth look at a current topic, exclusively digital (7plus and YouTube).

Then parts of that are used later in the broadcast bulletin.

Ned Balme rambling again on a live cross to Brisbane tonight. He was similar during the recent rolling flood coverage in Qld I recall.

Does anyone know why this wasn’t on tonight?

Two reasons, could be one, the other, or a combination:

  • Charlie’s Angels started at 9.35pm and only finishes at 12.05am
  • A rostering issue. Angela Cox was absent from the weekend news bulletins in Sydney so might’ve been unavailable tonight, and perhaps Michael Usher was also unavailable.

If they don’t have a pre-midnight timeslot, it generally does not run.
