I give her credit for conning viewers into thinking she had more to offer than a pretty face and a passable ability to read an autocue. History shows she was a vapid, self absorbed princess who was more concerned about her appearance than anything she had to present.

Minor blooper in Adelaide with the cross from Jane and John to Rosanna.
The title graphics did not play and a small failure of the prompter left Rosanna on-screen and reading the titles from a paper script. Errors fixed by the time she started reading the intro to the first story. Played off extremely well by Rosanna!

Have you got a video of this?
This has happened a few times in the past. Sometimes a wrong microphone is muted, too. Oddly, technical issues during the News to TT handover seem more likely to occur on Monday compared to any other weekday.
Footage of the same error in April (along with clips from Nine and Ten) led to my ‘No News in Adelaide’ tongue-in-cheek mock.

Just noticed that The House or Wellness on 7two uses the old Sydney set for Today tonight. The blue bars and base of the set are the same one.
Good to see some recycling!

I noticed that too when I caught it a week or two back, but on closure inspection I’m not so sure, if this is in fact the TT set you had in mind. But some similarities nonetheless.

Similar sort of concept but definitely not the same set.

I think if you look behind the couch it appears the same blue strips are used as they are curved and the base is higher. But yes the rest it has been extended and new. (Straight blue strips)
That’s why I said elements
Even if it is filmed in Melbourne, there was a duplicate set in the Anna Coren era at BCM

Isn’t the The House or Wellness filmed from Melbourne?

Edit - sorry was looking at the wrong photos, you are right is does look quite similar.
With the recent announcement of cost cutting (Made by Seven West Media )over the next two years, I can see both Editions fading out soon.

There would be no real cost savings to be made if they do cancel them. The shows would need to be replaced with something else, presumably another 30 minutes of news to match up with other states. Remember that both editions are big ratings winners in there respective markets, which is why they were not cancelled with the other states. Why risk losing viewers.

Have you ever seen the Adelaide edition? In the last few years it has been able to successfully shed the sensationalist crap and provide mostly quality journalism about serious issues. Yes, there are a small few stories that aren’t, but they’re yards ahead in quality of equivalent ACA or old TT.
If Perth should do anything with TT, it should be to take the example of Adelaide and transform TT. Could one day lead the way for a revival in the other states under the new format.

I was actually referring more to the Perth one when I made this remark. Of course I’ve seen the Adelaide one before and I think it is 1000 times better than Perth’s one. I actually would miss Adelaide’s TT but not Perth’s, well in its current format anyway.
Seven Adelaide breaches accuracy requirements
Channel Seven Adelaide breached the accuracy and fairness provisions of the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice (the Code) during a report aired in March 2017 on Today Tonight. The report was about an online flower delivery business, Bloomex.
An Australian Communications and Media Authority investigation found Today Tonight misrepresented comments made by the then NSW Fair Trading Commissioner. Today Tonight incorrectly reported that the Commissioner had issued a public warning not to use the company, during an interview recorded for the segment. Instead, in pre-recorded comments not put to air, the Commissioner had only spoken about online flower sellers generally and noted complaints about Bloomex.
The ACMA’s investigation found the report failed to present factual material accurately, breaching clause 3.3.1 of the code. ‘The Code requires that licensees present factual material accurately in broadcasting news and current affairs programs. They must also ensure viewpoints included in the program are not misrepresented,’ said ACMA Chair, Nerida O’Loughlin.
‘This breach is an important reminder to broadcasters of their responsibilities to not distort statements made by third parties.’
Several other allegations of inaccuracy were found not to be in breach of the Code.
The ACMA and Seven Adelaide have agreed on actions to be taken by the licensee to avoid future breaches, including using the decision in future Code training for staff. Seven Adelaide also made appropriate corrections to the statements on the Today Tonight website.
More information about ACMA broadcasting investigations is available here. A copy of the investigation report is available on the website version of this release
