Thanks for the caps, Byron.

Here's a video of Nine affiliate NBN switching to the network for on-the-scene coverage of the fires:

BTW, a well-known retired Australian news anchor is among the missing.

The anchor (Brian Naylor) mentioned above has just been confirmed dead by Sky News Australia and ABC.

Here is an update about the newsreader's status from earlier this evening.

Peter Hitchener (Naylor's Successor) was obviously devastated and should not have done the update.

That's sad news. Here's a clip of Naylor anchoring the news in the early 1990s:

At 2:40, you can hear a station from Vancouver Island, Canada, using the ITV News theme.

The National with the "Main" presenter Peter Mansbridge, also with a "bit-more extended" CBC News Sting:

(Well, it's hard to find intros of "every CBC and Radio-Canada news programme" in the "widescreen" HD.)

Bonus: Mansbridge appeared in a comedy show and going to make everyone a super-maniac of him: (Sorry if it is too out-of-news.)

OMNI, owned by Rogers, produces news bulletins, in Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean, all in HD. But currently, only the Mandarin and Cantonese in SD, captured by dicksonchan, are floating on YouTube.

Mandarin, 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d79_WSCfVo

Cantonese, 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMpvN2my9m4

I love their music!

Meanwhile, at a certain news station in the US, someone hasn't been properly paying attention when operating the graphics mixer for the news.

That's brilliant!

I'm lovin' it, too. (pabap pap pap pa!)

Wonder there is a way to get clean bed, clean vid, or what else...

Oh, and bulletins in other provinces.
