Discuss Media coverage of the 2019 Victoria Bushfires
So we really need a new thread at this stage?
Jon Faine broadcasting emergency coverage on ABC Radio Melbourne this afternoon. Rafael Epstein is to take over coverage later.
Very rare to see fires of this scale in March. 5 houses now destroyed and it’s moving towards a highly populated area.

I’m unconvinced we need a thread but for the sake of tidiness, this is reopened. Please only post coverage details here and not road closures etc. There’s probably (definitely) a better place for that than MediaSpy.

ABC Melbourne and Victoria running local radio news bulletins this afternoon.
Raf Epstein taking over from Faine to continue rolling coverage.
How long was it?
about 3 mins
Decent, no harm in having longer breaks in programming not surrounded by news. I liked the extended news updates they had during the test matches too.
