Here's what you do:
you say go to the '7.30 Report' stories list, click on one story, then go to the 'insiders' stories list, click on a story, then go to the tv news list, click on a story.
Then click 'play buletin' - voila! Your own news bulletin, pieced together from ABC news programes, featuring content you want to see!
Pretty neat!

More like a playlist, then. Very clever, clearly a lot better than what other online news sites have right now.

So, in essence, you could create a playlist of stories, such as
1 - Labor wins NSW election
2 - Viacom sues YouTube
3 - Souris wins Upper Hunter electorate
4 - Knights defeat Dragons
5 - Weather
and so on. If it's correct it sounds good.
Even better if you could merge it into the one file and download it to your PC or iPod, but I guess no one's come up with that yet, so I doubt the ABC would do that. Nice if they did it though.

robbo,
The ABC News site being described here isn't launched yet. When it does, it will be at the usual abc.net.au/news site.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Depends on the show.
Oh, and the 7.30 Report site will be relaunched with a similar design to the lateline and insiders sites.
But that has not even started yet - so won't happen till the end of the year.

MORE DELAYS for the new ABC News Online.
The new date that is being planned for launch is 7th June.
I hope they don't push it back any more.
The site exists online, but is password protected. It is still pretty rough, but is similar in design to the design leaked several months ago.
THe colours prominant will be black, white, with a blue and orange trim inspired by the TV news colours
It will be amgnificant.

Actually, on the 730 Report thread, I said it was up:
http://www.mediaspy....h...75&start=75
But, it did creep up on me. As far as the intranet was concerned it was still a job to be done.
But, regionaltv, I am not making anything up.
I am passing on the info to keep people informed.
I didn't realise this was upsetting you so...sigh!

Don't worry about it SHF. Anything that's news from the ABC is (usually) good news.

And in other news, ABC's Island on Second Life was hacked yesterday

Aunty's island attacked
Simon Canning
MAY 23, 2007
THE ABC's prized virtual reality island in the online game Second Life has been devastated in an act of digital vandalism.
ABC Island, the third-most-visited commercial site in the online game that has more than six million members globally, was found as a "bombed, cratered mess" yesterday.
Craig Preston, head of technology for ABC innovation, said only the digital transmission tower was left standing on the island, which cost the ABC tens of thousands of dollars to create.
"It looks like we've had some enormous cyber-bomb set off on our site," Mr Preston said.
ADVERTISEMENT
"Somebody has nuked us in some way, shape or form, and they've obliterated almost every object on the site."
The online vandalism, called "griefing", took several hours to repair.
The ABC was the first major Australian brand to embrace Second Life, in which people exist in a virtual world where they can buy cyber-goods, own digital islands and interact with other players around the world.
Mr Preston said the ABC was at a loss to identify who had vandalised the site, but the owners of Second Life, California-based Linden Labs, might have digital recordings of the vandalism taking place.
The vandals left logos for sports brands Nike and Puma on the island, prompting speculation that the attack could be the work of a commercial rival jealous of the ABC's success.
But sources suggested the logos could have been an attempt to throw investigators off the trail.
Second Life was launched in 2003, but did not come to prominence until last year when corporations such as Sony, IBM and Reuters bought islands and began marketing to visitors.
