Well the US have officially entered the war in the Middle East this morning.
ABC News channel now having rolling news.
SKY News currently broadcasting Outsiders (I call it the pro trump show)
Insiders ended the show this morning, with the breaking news of the US Strike on Iran.
Good to see ABC News having rolling coverage of this.

Did The Today Show or Sunrise break the news prior to 10.00am?
Sunrise can back from a break just before 10am and were only on air fro 30 seconds with no coverage.

Pretty disappointed there’s nothing on 7 or 9 about this, even if they just took their affiliates coverage from the US.
Trump is due to address the nation.
I would have expected a breaking news update from both Seven and Nine around 11.00am. No need for rolling coverage.

I reckon they’ll come on board at midday with the press conference.
10 should as well and use CBS resources.

This is a great opportunity for Seven and Nine to do “A Special Report”. Break into programming with a 2 minute news update.

10 should have coverage, as it’s just repeats during the day. Trickier with Seven and Nine with their sporting commitments.
But agree - 7 and 9 do have space for an extended News Update.
I agree that both 9 and 7 should have some sort of coverage, especially since last year they were also able to mount hours of rolling coverage when Trump was shot at.
Nine’s Emma Lawrence just mentioned during the Sunday NRL Footy Show saying that they will break into programming when Donald Trump will address the media. Which will be soon.
11am Sydney Time..
It’s past 11am.

I’d expect all networks to take it at 12pm (10 has CBS there should be something at least)
ABC is doing a fantastic job with local coverage. Bringing in extra resources now.
SKY is so weak on their coverage. Just take a direct feed from FOX.
