The trial so good Today played it twice
Curious goings-on at Today in the Michael Jackson death trial.
Seven’s Sunrise and Nine’s Today currently run at an hour’s delay in Brisbane because of the time difference to Sydney.
But both shows cut to live programming at around 8am, Sydney time/ 7am Brisbane time to bring the result, which saw Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray found guilty of manslaughter.
Which left a slightly trick issue of how to fill the hour’s hole that left in programming in Brisbane when the show ended.
What happened in Perth with 3 hour delay? Stations like Triple J on Radio as well as the TV shows always look like total tools when there’s breaking news. Perth is yawning over their breathless coverage of 3 hour old news. But they looked like tools anyway so whatever.
