I know they can fill up air time of them doing engagements. But usually, by the time it gets on the show, most footage ends up on the editing room floor. They only show highlights. Honestly, unless you are a big fan of the couple, do you really want to watch the entire walkabout?
This is not unusual jacqui24.
If a live cross can be done, it will all be broadcast - every little thing.
We had the same when William and Kate came out.
Hours of them walking up the stairs of the plane to go off somewhere, the cars travelling along the road - filmed from a helicopter.
Hours of footage when they were on the beach, indoors talking to people in the Blue Mts., in the Parliment in Canberra, and so on and so on.
Literally hours and hours - I used to have it all, finally had to delete.
I'm expecting Queensland TV to be particularly all over the Fraser Island coverage
A formal panel, all dressed up.
This expert and that, talking about each and every little thing.
Someone from the fashion world to discuss Meghan's outfit.
Someone to inform us of Royal things.
A host for the panel.
Someone who's - in this case - an expert on Fraser Island.
At least five or six people in the studio.
Then crossing back and forth to those in the field at different points.
NSW, and possibly Victoria, will be less formal - but same format. Less dressed up and a few less talking heads in the studio.
The breakfast shows, morning news, afternoon news, evening news and current affair shows will drench us in coverage.
But, it is the live crosses/live coverage where massive footage is broadcast, no cuts, no edits.
Can't believe it's almost happening.
