And, David, by the way – thanks for providing this information – very helpful.
Hey david is beat the stars still on because my epg say 7news from 730-830 then there a movie
If the Medibank International is on 7Two does that mean 7 is continuing coverage throughout the night again?
I send my prayers out to all those out in Queensland and Brisbane. The news though is a bit much. The Tennis should be on 7Mate not 7Two as a name like 7Mate is more suited for sports coverage. Ten’s Bold and the Beautiful is finally dropped. The ABC have moved their early morning children’s shows to ABC2. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Lemon of Troy is the last Simpsons episode to be aired on Ten? Why is there a lady doing what looks like sign language with her hands on the news? If it’s for the deaf isn’t that what closed captioning is for?
Did see Kay McGratn and Rod Young on 7’s coverage this week-they read the news in QLD.
If Nine would get rid of that hideous red, orange & black caption covering a quarter of the screen all of the time, stating nothing more stupid than “Developing News” “QLD Flood Crisis” “Live” etc., they would have a few more viewers, starting with me. We prefer the clean look of 7 (at the moment anyway) and TEN. Nine’s picture reminds me of the low-rent Asian channels and their ridiculous graphics.
@ Sean- no it has nothing to do with the location! Even if it was in my home city of Melbourne (Not Sydney!) I’d still feel the same way. Rolling coverage of the same thing over and over again simply desensitises people to the issue at hand. As I said in my first post, people will ultimately get “bored” with it and will want to move on. As horrible as that sounds, it’s reality. The notion that I expressed earlier, that of compassion fatigue, is real and occurs all the time (that’s why many companies such as World Vision have a tough time selling their “product”). The same thing will happen with this issue. Frankly, you’re living is a dream world if you think otherwise! I actually believe that the networks are doing somewhat of a disservice by playing so much coverage!
Also, for those people who say “just turn off your TV”, why should we? If you went to the movies and they decided to play something different because they thought it’s more interesting you wouldn’t be happy! It’s the same with this!
I’m totally flood fatigued, can’t stand to see any more about it, thank god for the extra digital channels!!
And when I do want to know the latest I watch ABC News24, not the commercial crap coverage!
i wonder if 7 will do their own telethon/concert. if they do, lets hope they go nation wide. not like with their telethon after the victorian bush fires
@Craig – “Or you could turn off the TV and read a book…”. When was the last time you did that? Power outage? 🙂
@ Nathan….7 is a commercial channel….
Are you putting up your hand to pay wages and pay for the running of the station if they stop the ads that pay for the station to keep on air.
Why do Seven persist in using nobody from BTQ7???
Stop being so negative, if you do not want to watch rolling coverage of this major event just watch another channel or simply do not watch anything at all.
I’ll second Dr Rudi’s comment.
@f.j. yeah they do. but they prefer to show dullards like him instead
Media are so transparent. You can just hear them.
“Please, please, please keep raining, more, more, more. Maybe we can milk this till March. We were ripped off, no horrid bushfires this year, no poor hapless souls we can chase after demanding news byte stories. We have to make up for it.This is ever better. Hopefully we can get a sea Tsunami as well. That would be great. Of course we only do it cause we care of course, we care sooooo much. They would be actually disappointed if it stopped raining, i guarantee it”.
Media digusts me. They only do this for ratings, for ego. They don’t actually given a toss. Its just sensationalism. Karl “breaking news, breaking news, power will be cut off in Bris in 14 hours”, how is that breaking news Karl, or did you just want to “create” a bit of sensationalism.
Media, oppotrunist blood suckers.
Sevens continuous Live coverage is continuously showing to many ads.
Ten are way behind the ball on this one. Also George Negus was on 7pm the other day editorialising about Julia Gillard’s performance during the crisis rather than presenting facts about the devastation. I prefer my news readers to be impatial so for one I wont be watching the new flagship news show on 10.
Yes 3 (or more) channels seams like a waste but they are all competing with each other for ratings, besides now with digital you have lots of other channels to choose from when you get you fill of the coverage. Or you could turn off the TV and read a book…
Do 7 even use any Queenslanders when covering it?
They’ve been pretty pathetic using nevilles like Koch who wouldn’t know jack.
9 have wall to wall Queenslanders except for the other night wen Eddie hosted the telethon so he could promote AFL.
oh so sorry (Qubec says: January 13, 2011 at 10:03 am) .. is this because it’s not sydney???? this is an emergency on a large scale and deserves this sort of coverage! unbelievable comment to make 🙁
David,
I’ll just mention that ABC1 kindly screened some of their scheduled programs last night ‘live’ on iView. Which I thought was a very sensible use of the technologies.
I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous! I understand that this is a major event and there are countless people affected, however the networks are just overkilling it. All three channels are having far too much coverage. Sure, play some updates during the day, but the whole day? No! People are simply going to get compassion fatigue and feel that it’s too much to watch. I feel for all Queenslander, I really do, but I think many people are going to “get over it” because of the continuous coverage.
It didn’t take Ten long to realize that something was happening in Queensland did it.
This doesn’t look very promising for their new approach to news!
Okay woke early to watch the coverage as the Brisbane river peaked , first thing I noticed was Sunrise(7) seamed to be business as normal with ad breaks and other news/sport where as Today(9) didn’t appear to have any breaks for at least the first half hour and no other stories. Also Nine seamed to have more new stuff while Seven re-run things previously on from yesterday.
I’m not a Nine fan but I must admit they seamed to have the better coverage.
Oh and Koshie is back from holidays, guess he couldn’t keep away from this one after Mel returned yesterday.
