Oops. ABC News rehearsal goes to air.

ABC News viewers were met with what appeared to be part of a technical rehearsal on Friday night when The World went to air.
Host Yvonne Yong could be seen reading out scripts, checking best position, doing last-minute make-up and awaiting directives from the control room.
It’s standard stuff for news bulletins, but preferably not being broadcast.
After a few minutes the bulletin began again in what appears to be the real thing.

Utterly fascinating. Didn’t really see anything revelatory about how the program is put together but I’m always riveted by those ‘human’ moments that make the television we watch.
Did this actually go to air? The watermark (ABC logo with no text) is not used on any of their broadcast channels this year, and definitely not for the ABC News Channel. Seems more like they chose the wrong start point when uploading the video to iView.
Bingo. Ironically, this iView version was made because a different error went to air on News Channel at the end of the program.
Lol.
Everyday regular viewers of ABC News 24, which I am one, would probably have thought it was part of the ABC’s normal broadcast.
Regular viewers will also know that it hasn’t been called ‘ABC News 24’ since April 2017.
Why isn’t there someone watching this as it goes out?.
Flick a switch and go to some promos or something else to avoid embarassment!.
I agree. If only those pesky politicians would start funding the ABC properly, these accidents could be caught before making the blooper reel.
2 words. Media Hub. Basically a computer at Media Hub switches to the source at the on air time and whatever is happening goes to air. As is obvious here they have a lot of feeds to deal with and can’t monitor everything. If they glanced up and saw the presenter talking they’ve obviously assumed it’s the program. Either The World was given the wrong on air time by Media Hub or the control room didn’t take note of it correctly. Anyway, the viewers always love seeing mistakes going to air haha
First oops of 2021 with more to come for sure.
I’m impressed by their attention to detail. By the way, that set is enormous.
Thank you for posting. It was actually interesting to watch how a rehearsal unfolds.
