The Australian News Thread

Think both are forgetting that ITV did this at least 4 years ago for Daytime ahahaha

So ITV did it first?

The TV presenters are in the house though, not quite the same.

Classic TODAY promo from 1990 (recorded by me):

ITV Daytime: It's like having idiot friends tell you how to dress and what to think.

No surprise they didn't update that to include someone waking up to Piers Morgan sitting on their bed!

Georgie Gardener's first show this morning and a fairly unspectacular debut. Same set they've had for the last 2 years (sort of 6 years actually as they simply changed the set panels and kept the layout) and poor graphic package.

Didn't know ABC's Perth studios also uses desk microphones...
(P.S. control room forgot to switch from the state bulletin backdrop to the News Channel backdrop for a half second after the 1am AEDT intro, but couldn't capture it)


(P.P.S. the weather wrapping out these 15-minute overnight live bulletins only consists of text weather forecast and music bed, as though it were meant to be a "live" insert into pre-taped content)




Also: loved the day's episode of Matter of Fact -- long-running interviews and panels, guests had time to develop their points and address Stan Grant's questions.
