Broadcasting
Due to the fact that Australia has more than one time zone, Today is not broadcast live to the entire nation. New South Wales (including ACT), Victoria and Tasmania have Today aired live all year round.
However, during daylight saving time, Queensland receives Today delayed by one hour. However, in 2007 Today began a trial and aired live into Queensland between 5:00 – 8.30am, with an extra Queensland-only half an hour. This was unsuccessful and in 2008 returned to its previous delayed telecast.
However, in the case of major breaking news (e.g. cyclone), the program goes live into the state, to help provide residents with up-to-date information.
Additionally, the Northern Territory, has Today delayed thirty minutes during winter and one-and-half hours during daylight saving time.
Some parts of South Australia are also delayed by thirty minutes and in Western Australia the program is delayed by two hours during winter, and three hours during daylight saving time.
On 27 September 2010 Today aired on Nine's digital channel GEM.

Famous quotes containing the word broadcasting:
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
