In that news.com.au article it has that TEN will be showing reports in its 5pm bulletin. I think someone may need to tell them that TEN won’t be showing it, as TEN have the BBL at 5pm.

There’s a new saying: “No news is Ten”.

Ten has cricket commitments at 5pm and in primetime. They covered the US Election but not the inauguration itself
Would’ve thought someone would go over for Sunrise, as Nat Barr did in 2008 and Mel in 2012. Also, interesting photo on that article on the news set with Alan Jones?

Not a good look if Ten can’t have some coverage of the inauguration. Either a live telecast with studio analysis, a full news bulletin at 3.30pm AEDT (before the BBL) or a short bulletin during half time of BBL match between Hobart and Perth will do.
Anyone think we could get a possible taste of ABC News’ new look (fonts, graphics, etc) before the relaunch seeing as it’s so close?

That’s what I was thinking would happen.

So if I’m correct, Trump’s oath will be at 4:00am our time? Followed by his address speech

Ten have never done Extensive Coverage on long events since their 2014 Budget Cuts which cause all of their National News Bulletins on Weekdays Axed.
What about the recent Presidential election?
It would cost Ten next to nothing to rebroadcast the CBS coverage.
Ten rebroadcasted CBS News for the Obama inauguration in 2009

Not to mention there is nowhere near as much interest in this as Obama. Half, if less - going by crowd estimates in the US.
