  1. peter harvey on Naaan news has already started with the melancholy commentary….someone tap him to move on…Eddie Everywhere…where are you now ? oh thats right, Brisbane only has 1 AFL team…so. how about Not playing sound effects and news promos about ‘special editions’/ Leila McKinnon returns home extra special ACA edition/…blah blah blah….

    Now we see the bare bones of news production and how poorly done it becomes when more money is spent on make up and wardrobe than engineering equipment.

  6. ABC news 24 continues to cock up studio production, with late cues for vision, incorrect throws and intros, all no doubt due to the wonderful ‘ignote’ system they bought from some young pommy upstart with an agenda to sell equipment. I pity the poor director who singlehandedly has to switch, roll graphics, cue and play clips, communicate to remote sites, cue talent, adjust cameras….well done ABC 24..Not !
    And paleeze get some more vision instead of the Toowoomba car/boat race down the main street…they play it every 4 minutes again and again…

    over on Ch 9, the presenter is in front of a control room shot that seems to be inhabited by a bunch of Gen Y’s all looking at equipment, typing on keyboards, all very serious…

  7. Even tens news updates are repeated and hours outdated. A huge news story and it would seem there is no one in the office. Terrible for their reputation at one of their most important times ever.

  8. Instead of covering this disaster, Ten decided to air The Circle Summertime, Dr Phil and Oprah. What a disgusting effort by a network which is expanding into news, and want to be taken seriously.

  9. 7 will stay on air all afternoon to (Tennis has been moved to 7TWO), Guess i’ll be watching 7 cant stand 9 they think their top.

    ohh well thats why 7 is Australia’s #1 news!

  11. Nine – why can’t you be this good with news coverage all the time? Sensational work today, despite the odd typo.

    Karl and Garry Youngberry in QTQ newsroom doing rolling coverage hand-in-hand with Sydney – great work.

  12. if ten wants to be taken serisously with its new news bullitens then lift your bloody game ten and have continues coverage of the tragic event usually and yes nine dose have the best news when it comes to tragidies like this

  14. It’s depressing television to watch but Channel Nine is doing a wonderful job getting the latest news out. I critise them for their treatment of ‘live’ sports and regular programming, but their coverage of this horrific disaster beats all other networks.

  16. i dont know about any of the other channels but channel 9’s coverage is fantastic. Good job Georgie, Cam, Wendy, Alison, Peter and Karl. Praying for the people in the devastated regions.

  18. I was watching the Morning Show and it looked like we were getting it live because it was half hr ahead saying 10.00 and during an interview it suddenly cut to a Sunrise news bulletin with Sarah Cumings which then cut to Beretta talking sport and the time changed to 9.30. Was kinda listening to that interview
