The ABC intro:


And still a huge fan of the look of ABC News 24 - it's a few years old now but still looks great.

Seven is launching a dedicated Gold Coast newscast tomorrow, following in the footsteps of Nine. Here's a look at how Seven Brisbane (BTQ7) has covered the Gold Coast over the decades:

And this is the first edition of Seven Gold Coast News:

Well that moustache is straight out of the 70s.

As some of you may know, this is something of a first - a major, mainstream network host "coming out", so to speak, with these views. And, needless to say, this is obviously a gutsy and potentially career-ending move for Sonia (However, I have a hunch that this will work for her). But hey, that's the state of play in much of the West right now. One thing is for sure, you gotta talk about it.

By the way, as a new casual online listener to LBC (and TalkRadio) from overseas, I have to say I am quite shocked by the extreme level of appeasement coming out of that station and, presumably, just about every other media outlet in Britain, as well (electronic media, at least). I am sorry the people of London must put up with that.

Racist on MediaSpy and racist on TVForum. You never do change Fox1, and you make me feel ashamed that people will read this and form an opinion about our country.
