Wasn't there a Chinese channel that recently had a legal issue for producing news titles very similar to something from Germany?


Yep, can't remember the name of the Chinese station, but they ripped off the titles to ProSieben's Newstime. Newstime's titles look clean and professional, where as Chinese ones look poor and look like they had been created in 5 minutes. There are plenty of comparison videos of it on YouTube, it's a few minutes in.

The ABC-2 video ident looks at first glance more like somewhere in Quebec than in Australia.

Any idea where it was actually recorded?
Almost certainly Sydney or Melbourne..they certainly wouldn't be splurging on filming idents overseas.

Interesting to see someone copy ABC2! Wouldn't have expected it at all.

France 2 had before the 2 spilt screens, in the 90's... It's inspiration, not copying. Thought, it's possible that France 2 is coming back to the oldies !
