Australia's Ten Network launched its greatly expanded news lineup today. I'm sure that Fox1, who has been keeping us updated, will have a full report in the Australia thread, but here is a brief sampler -- Adelaide's local 6:30PM news:

Very understated from WCCO. Quite against the norm for America.

Indeed. WCCO is probably America's most elegant station -- and one of the most elegant anywhere.

From 1981, here is an interesting documentary about local TV news in the United States, with a special emphasis on presentation; it's well worth watching!

Spain's Antena 3 unveiled a new set earlier this month. Here's a promo that shows it from various perspectives:

Thought I'd chuck in some links of examples of news bulletins from South Asia

Pakistan:

GEO News, Pakistan, Headlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL1Q_AyP694

ARY News, Pakistan, Headlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIEEY78xesw

India:

NDTV 24x7, this clip is a year or so old now but the presentation is largely still the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaHssJ_EwTk

CNN IBN, similar clip to the one above. This channel is shrill, to say the least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=junFHs_MSu8

(Edited Jan 31 11.16 to replace duplicate GEO link with proper ARY URL)

Antena looks better than Sky to me, colours are nicer and especially desk.

More Indian stuff, this time Hindi channels which are more populist than the somewhat-pretentious English networks - a fact that's reflected in much larger ratings.

Zee News, Hindi news channels seem to have an obsession with top 10 run downs of stories... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhqMG80XA7w Nice tune tho.

Star News, example of a report from 2009 on a lottery winner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tecQ-cLJGfA

India TV. This is a crime show presented by a fictional police officer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3uMCyLx2bg
