Great to see Auckland after 3 years, pity the streams were ropey - are the engineers pissed already?

Looked like LiveU technology to me :-doh

The problem with NYE being on a weekend is that there will be a skeleton staff in many news broadcasters (and internet broadcasters) and the crappy weekend programmes will have priority. Some old bonghead karking it doesn't help either. This will also be a problem next year, though NYE being on a Sunday should mean more people Chasing Midnight. :D

Gutted that I can't move my dish due to the battering we are getting here today. Any decent web streams for Sydney?

Edit: Just found this one that Global Canada are running. Seems to be switching throughout the day. Handy if you don't have access to Reuters.

First one I've seen from a news source. All the papers and TV channels seem uninterested this year.

Cheers mate

Sorry for my poor english, but what do you mean for "battering"?
Maybe strong wind? Or heavy rain? Thanks.

CNN HD on Astra 2 (28.2e) has gone to Sydney 2.5 minutes early and they have their own reporter

It will be heavy rain & very strong winds. Bad news for a dish motor trying to move against gale force gusts

Yes I did wonder if it was for Ukraine but with no mention hard to tell.

That was the best Sydney display I can remember!

I have to say I’m quite enjoying CNN’s dedicated coverage of the NYE celebrations around the world. They are already counting down to Korea. Seems a lot more effort has been put in this year.

Exactly, a few almost reminded me the famous countryballs.

Indeed about CNN, they are even using the New Years Eve Live branding, something they've previously used for US NYE.
