Today Extra

Maybe construction starts today?

News might come from the newsroom like they’ve done before at 5am.

Imagine if they are constructing new sets.

While Nine is busy planning and building new sets across the country, Seven are firing people left right and centre.

What a different world they’re in.

Yep Davina definitely not on the usual set.

Wonder if this is because of the Olympics, maybe Wide World of Sports are now occupying the control rooms and studios at TCN? Also shows GTV will be used for things during Paris 2024.

Probably better discussed in the Nine News area

Perhaps they are upgrading the computer software after last week’s outage.

Exactly right. I had to look twice.
Doubt any renovations are happening.
The morning news came from the set. They’re probably limited in crews in Sydney because they’ve travelled to Paris.

Today Extra cancelled? Turn on my TV and there’s a Travel Guides repeat playing at 10am. Technical difficulties?

The show seemed to run up to 9:22 ish with the promise of news headlines.

After infomercial until 9.30 it switch to 30 minutes of news with Today branding from Sydney news room.

"At 10am - “More news is coming up at 11:30”

Then Travel Guides where the watermark is stuck on opaque and is playing over commercials.

There was no weather shown also on the lower thirds during the 30 min news update with Sophie, supers also glitched.

Not a good look with Olympics about to start, hopefully it can fixed for the Melbourne news tonight.

Viewers seem to be liking the Melbourne based show (if they even know that is the case). Buoyed by better results from its lead in Today Extra won for a second time this week 135,000 to 132,000 in the metro markets.

And then there’s Nine’s playout at Frenchs Forest in Sydney (NPC Media with Seven), no? Perhaps too many control rooms and locations at the moment… With multiple across Sydney, Melbourne and France. Logistically it’s always a challenge which I’m sure Nine are very experienced and capable of overcoming, would’ve been months/years planning. Hence hundreds of staff.
