From You Tube, the first 8 minutes of the new ABC News 24 channel. Certainly looks a lot neater than Sky News Australia.

No doubt eleven years after their launch they'll drop the 24 bit of their name in favour of the word "channel". sound familiar? Wink

Very nice - simple but stylish. Do existing ABC News bulletins share the same look?

A nice look and not cluttered (yet!) for a 24hr channel - and what a great name Very Happy . They're also going to be carrying BBC News in the early hours.

Wow that looks very neat for a News channel, although it looks odd without a desk, but I really like the remix of the ABC News theme they've done there, it sounds new but it's great to hear some of the old theme included there.

Has ABC News on ABC1/2 been given this similar look or are they staying the same for the time being? They've timed the launch of the channel quite well too, as their Election isn't far away now.

Thanks for the link, I like that open, as I said the remixed music sounds superb.

Here's a before-and-after comparison of the 7PM ABC News for Victoria (the evening news on ABC1 is produced separately in each Australian state and territory, but the look is the same everywhere):

They've certainly raised the bar for news production in this country - and it's also nice to finally have a news channel available to free-to-air viewers. Sky News is only available on Foxtel and its content certainly leaves a lot to be desired (it mainly repackages reports from our commercial news services, with extra politics coverage).

Looks smart... though not convinced about the set for news.
It's a bit "...you've won a fridge".

That is a horrible set. Looks like something mocked-up for a sketch show.
