Seven couldn’t find a woman for the panel?

Looks like 7 struggled to find anyone. 9’s panel is double the size.
Hate saying this, but even though 7’s set looks decent enough. 9 sh*ts all over their rival from what I’ve seen so far.

Jane Garrett was meant to be apart of the coverage according to the synopsis.
Sky coverage coming from the new Canberra studios.
Sky’s new Canberra studio is very good with 6 people on the panel.

Whoops! Regional weather graphic showed briefly on Nine news.
(Actually it may have been the usual TV graphic)

I think viewers will tune-in to the coverage (not much choice as it’s on near,y every main channel) but will be flicking their remotes, epically earlier before settling on one they like.
From what I’ve seen so far, there’s pros/cons of all.
Green always a stellar job for ABC News and it’s their ‘dream of the crop’ political events. Seven News looks sleek and professional, having the usual weekday anchor with Riley and Donohoe plus a few other guests (one certainly polarising). Nine and ABC have opted away from either an anchor and/or just the anchor, with Tony Jones (odd inclusion) added and Michael Rowland, both have their weekend anchors too rather than weekday.
I actually don’t mind Sevens graphics. Better then last elections.
The set is badly executed though. The right side angle looks average and cheap.
You’re not showing off the set well or using angles well.
The backdrop is uninspiring and the front of the desk should have been utilised to its full potential. It’s just got the same basic static crap on it, which a light box could have done… a waste. They should have made the front of the desk more interactive! And used it for results etc.
missed opportunity and poor planning.
I’m liking the full screens and transitions for LIVE crosses. Should adopt it to the normal 7NEWS Bulletin.
