Is the show over in Sydney and on Foxtel yet ,it’s still being dragged out in Queensland ?,it’s 10.30
I’m in Melbourne, so it is live on Seven. The highlights so far are Queen and Adam Lambert (especially “We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions” and Alice Cooper (“School’s Out” triggered memories of an episode of The Simpsons when Bart had a dream of trashing Springfield Elementary School, but it was a dream of Bart’s).
Sorry for carrying on but Just one last query on 7plus. My 7plus only shows the program live in the same time as the show is on normal station Qld time?? So unless I am wrong I have to install Foxtel to see the show in actual real l live time? Vent over !!
I’m in Western Australia it not live in Perth on 7 only on 7plus or Foxtel
Yes, as the post indicates.
Pity Foxtel coverage in 4K has audio problems out of sync and level is extreme low compared to Seven
What a awesome line-up of great Aussie and international talent! Wait someone is missing, where’s Tones and I? I’m very surprised the Dance Monkey singer isn’t included.
It’s a shame she isn’t there esp for the international version. Maybe it’s an availability question.
Tones and I is currently in the US.
Performs in LA and Dallas this week, she then has a couple of late feb shows in London.
These were planned months ahead so she wasn’t available for this concert.
I look at the artists who are playing as people who have been around for years. Tones and I has only been successful in the last year.
I can’t for the life of me understand why we can’t have this live in Queensland? Makes me so mad !
I feel your pain champ ,I also am in QLD ,I notice 7 have their Live Logo on so this is totally incorrect.
Don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but can someone tell me why for such a “big event”, they couldn’t have moved the news to 7 two for the night.
Surely people that want to watch the news are intelligent enough to know how to change channels
Interesting to see how Foxtel 4K coverage goes ?
at least the International audience gets the Foxtel feed not the Ch7 feed.
thanks for posting this. Good to see the times of when the great acts are performing (yes, I know that times may change, seen on the fine print).
I do wonder how many segments Seven are going to code the event for the tv ratings….
Hopefully they change enough so Tina starts at 6pm on 7Two and Alice starts at 7pm on 7 so we avoid the channel changes during sets.
It actually worked out ok, Ronan Keating sang 1st song on 7 before the switch, Tina Arena and Alice Cooper were in full on 7TWO
7 Never move the news to a multi channel, 10 does it all the time for motorsport or horse racing (play 10 news on Bold) nut never seen any other network do it
I thought they could have run a half hr news. This concert is the news.
So basically 10 minutes into Tina Arena’s set they’re going to switch to the News and move to 7TWO and with 5 minutes to go on Alice Cooper’s set switch back to 7. I know by changing channels you likely only miss a second or so of a song or chat to the audience, however still be better moving people to 7TWO just before Tina Arena starts and back to 7 when Alice Cooper finishes (start the News at 5:45pm and end it at 7:05pm)
A better idea would be to just have the News on 7TWO. The world won’t end if the news isn’t on the main channel for one night.
5:10pm onwards looks fantastic, will be tuning in!
This will cannibilise MKR audiences as viewers switch from Seven to 7TWO at 6pm,
I keep having to repeat myself this week it seems.. MKR is not on tomorrow.
How so, when MKR isn’t on?
Thanks for posting this info David,as its great to know what time my favourite performer will be appearing.
Good luck to all involved. It’s an unusual event in that the Queen concert tonight has restricted broadcast access to the venue until 2am Sunday morning. There’ll be people working round the clock to get all the broadcast facilities up and running in time. Highly unusual to be bumping in so close to show time on event of this size.
