So while CBS got their new Special Report graphics. In Brazil, both TV Globo and TV Band recently launched their new breaking news intros. 

 

 

 

Apparently it translates to 'Duty' or 'Orderly'. Huh?

Yeah, and Globo definitely has their own ways; that music is very 80's

Globo has been using that piece of music for Plantão since 1991; kinda like how NBC News has been using the same piece as Meet The Press for its special reports..

Ramadan has just started here in Malaysia, and typical to TV stations here is to show a list of break of fast/iftar times in various locations, from east to west, since all stations broadcast nationally. Not sure about other Muslim-majority countries though.

Rupert Murdoch's new TV project in the UK, TalkTV, has launched just under an hour ago. The new channel, operated by their radio subsidiary Wireless Group (but owned directly by News UK), is the new home to Piers Morgan's show (which will be also broadcast on Sky News Australia and Fox Nation), but it is being mostly built on the basis of Murdoch's opinionated DAB station TalkRadio, which going forward will be a radio simulcast of the newly-launched channel, and most of its programming taking on a filmed radio styling. The three new TV-focused shows, involving Morgan, former The Talk panelist Sharon Osbourne (with exactly the same name for the new show) and The Times political editor Tom Newton-Dunn, have bespoke graphics designed by Jump Design (with lots of cues to Fox News, indeed), music from Sitting Duck and set designs from Jack Morton and MOOV. These same premises worked with ITV Daytime/Good Morning Britain previously, and their executive director, Erron Gordon (who also championed Morgan as GMB co-presenter) has made the presentation much more professional than that of rival GB News.

 

 

If anybody's interested (for presentation purposes), the channel is live on YouTube and surprisingly, not geoblocked (however, in the US and Canada is not available thanks to Piers being on Fox Nation, also in AU and NZ, but it is in the rest of the world). Each hour is being individually posted both live and on-demand, as it was the case with talkRadio beforehand.

Looks like they're using the Fox News package for their lower thirds.

A sponsored call of prayers commercial for one of the TV stations in Malaysia. This only happens during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. This practice is also used in Bangladesh.

Joel Osteen has his Sunday shows on broadcast stations sponsored by Lifelock/Norton (including ads at the beginning and end), so sadly this isn't an alien concept to American televangelism either.

A promo from the Malaysian state broadcaster announcing the date of the sighting of the new moon and list of places around Malaysia where the sighting of the new moon are made. The promo here is for the start of Ramadan from last year which happened in mid-April in the Gregorian calendar. Sighting of the new moon is also performed for the start of Eid on the month after Ramadan and the start of the last month of the Islamic calendar.

This is how the announcement of the exact date for Eid looks like in Malaysia, as happened last night local time. It is a tradition in this country to have a representative from the many royal families in the Malay states to announce the date for not just Eid, but for the start of Ramadan and for Eid Adha. The announcement is pre-recorded. In Brunei, it's a slightly different case, the announcement is done by a religious representative, slightly longer duration and broadcast live.

Nine News has announced they will launch a dedicated 6pm bulletin for Tasmania, to be based out of the state capital of Hobart. Nine doesn't own their Tasmanian station however, WIN is the affiliate. They're essentially outsourcing the production of local news to its network partner.

Wow that looks horrible. The lighting is horrifying and the camera blocking is terrible. Renzo Piano is a great architect but a studio designer he is not. I dont like anything about this. It actually feels amateurish. The newsroom looks like something they slapped a logo on the back wall and called it a day.  Italian tv broadcasts have alway felt slightly off to me for whatever reason. And this is just another example.
