Standing presentation for the opener on Seven News Melbourne tonight
Seven have Jodie Lee, Michael Felgate and Teegan Dolling on the ground.

Nine have Dougal Beatty and Sam Cucchiare on the ground.
ABC have Damian McIver and Ben Lisson on the ground.
All stations seem to be sharing/pooling footage from one another.
Damian McIver and Ben Lisson.
Surprised the focus was mainly on just the Bunyip fire and not others elsewhere in Gippsland.
Haven’t seen any commercial news tonight.
Really? It’s closed a freeway, a railway line, threatening two major high voltage transmission lines, it’s on the outer fringe of Melbourne and has destroyed houses. Definitely deserves attention.
774’s emergency coverage officially ended at 11pm, but then the national Nightlife program covered the fires then straight into another emergency update from the Melbourne studio.
Yes really. As in the television news report. Sure cover the Bunyip fire, but as a state wide broadcast with resources based in Gippsland, I thought a bit more detail on especially the Yinnar and Dargo fires.
The radio coverage was excellent, had family in a watch and act area during the evening. Copped a few embers and lots of smoke but thankfully the wind change wasn’t as strong as initially feared.
Monday -
Mike Amor presenting Morning News in Melbourne from Nar Nar Goon.
Will this be in addition to the scheduled 11.15pm bulletin?
EDIT: based on amended schedule posted by TV Cynic, the 11.15pm bulletin won’t be shown in Victoria.
The new director of news at HSV-7 already showing good signs
Seven News has gone to a new level tonight. Great bulletin! It’s clear there’s a new director leading this.
Finally Jane isn’t smiling when presenting anymore.
