This is the news that Sat.1's viewers in Germany see at that time:

In some German states ( Länder ) Sat.1 also has to show local news bulletins, e.g. in Bavaria:

I wouldn't normally focus on this, but what strange wardrobe choice for the male presenter. The tie/blazer while wearing jeans and sneakers seems... incongruous. I'm not saying the guy should wear a full suit, but when you're doing stand-up presentation, a coherent outfit from top to bottom is a good idea.

That said, Puls4's studio is definitely better than the virtual disappointment that Sat.1 offers.


Blazer / Jeans / Trainers is not at all unusual as a wardrobe for a news presenter in some parts of Europe. The whole 'formal lounge suit' thing is nowhere near universal. In some areas it would be seen as stuffy, old fashioned and not appropriate for a younger male presenter.

From 1968, a promo for and an intro to another Australian version of Today, this time from GTV-9 in Melbourne:



This is Nine Network's Today from 1985:



And from 1998, this is the first incarnation of Seven's Sunrise, when it was still a hard news program:

Televisión Pública Argentina, August 7, 2017 (relaunch of Televisión Pública Noticias - TPA Noticias , for short):


This comes just over one year after their last relaunch, which came with the change in the branding of Argentina's PSB from "TV Pública" to "Televisión Pública Argentina"
7am edition (April 18, 2016, premiere edition):


1pm edition (April 25, 2016):


Before that relaunch, their newscasts were known as Visión 7 (the 7 is for Televisión Pública's channel number in the Buenos Aires area):


One thing that should be noted: by the Argentinean Audiovisual Communications Services Law, aka "Media Law" (in Spanish, "Ley de Medios"), proposed and eventually signed by the Cristina Fernández de Kirchner administration, all newscasts have to be preceded by a warning saying that program is "inappropriate for children and adolescents". Well, many Argentinean newscasts go for the tabloid route, but... what if TPA or any other broadcaster decides to launch a Newsround-like program?

Kudos for sharing the last video. This took place when its almost the end of 1998 Commonwealth Games. I was 4 back then and I started getting interested with TV presentation of my country. And right now at my country we're in the midst of the SEA Games.

Speaking about the video, this was uploaded back when I was interested with Australian TV and I had subscribed the the uploader's channel.
