They just need a different desk, something a bit more upright and angular with a vertical plasma on the front. That round desk is such a mismatch to the studio (even on Sunrise).

New headline graphics I think. No reporters/talent seen on the screens in the opener.

The headline text looks like something out of the 80s

Agree, both the text and weight of the line are too thick.

Jesus. Is someone from Prime7 working in The Latest GFX suite today?

I think that’s what they used on the screens behind when the reporters were in the opener. Looked okay at a distance.

If it was Prime7 they would be using free Premiere Pro template graphics supplied in the software.
They honestly look the god damn same.

It doesn’t necessarily mean The Latest will be streamed live on 7plus in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth though.

The 7plus stream will match the broadcast timezone. They do stream The Latest live on Facebook though.

Gotta love The Latest not living up to its name…
The two lead story crosses tonight which have aired at 11pm were filmed during daylight hours… Which is prior to 7.30pm AEDT. Ridiculous!

Why do they do this? Guest availability? Or what? Yes it’s pretty ridiculous. There must be a valid reason
The lead story was in Perth, where sunset was around 6:30pm AWST, which is 9:30pm AEDT. That’s possibly 3 closer to on-air time, and the “look live” feel wouldn’t’ve been as effective if you couldn’t see the building behind the reporter.
The Gladys story, yeah, pretty clearly an earlier pre-record - but Glads was probably home in bed, so the story is unlikely to change much.
So if the info hasn’t changed you’re still getting “the latest”. The style of presentation is also clearly different to a standard bulletin.
So I guess the question is, do you want to compromise on the quality of the show just to get live crosses in?
The Project do this style of prerecording all the time, and it helps maintain the more relaxed “vibe” of the show. It’s really not that bad.
I think modern news bulletins emphasis/obsession with “live” crosses is so pointless.
