    2 reporters gone. The today newsroom is moving in with newstalk.

    I think it's disgraceful that they're allowed to double up their news broadcasts like they've been doing.

    So not only are the news bulletins not live, but they are the exact same in content.

    Contradicts the principle that radio stations are given licenses to offer different content.

    Hardly a suprise, in fact it was mentioned here as likely when O'Brien took control of both.

    Just to elaborate a bit...

    Today and Newstalk are on seperate floors in Marconi House

    The Today Fm newsroom will be moving downstairs to the rest of NT, and reporters will be pooled

    There is an exception, the Pol Cors will be kept seperate...except in an out of hours situation...

    The other night for example at the Cowen presser at Government Buildings, the today fm hack fed Newstalk.

    They also have only one news reader in the evenings, after 9 i think it is, byt they are live

    If you listen theres a delay and they dont say the station name, just a time check.

    Wonder what the toothless BCI will have to say about this?
