For a minute there I thought Nine News had lost its signal, when an old-style test pattern suddenly popped up on my screen.
But wait, I could still see the news-strap across the bottom of the screen. Huh?
So it seems the signal was just fine. Someone had either not checked the final edit of their news report, or someone in vision switching had pressed the wrong button.
Thankfully the boo-boo was a blink-you’ll-miss-it mistake that was quickly rectified.

Wow, 27 people died in five years due to horse racing!
So when is this test pattern shown? the ratings will be huge!!
I thought that happened during a live cross to Flemington? Looks to me like they momentarily lost the live feed from the races but the news strap,which is put on back at the station, remained on screen.
Sitting in our lounge room in 1957 watching a black & white test pattern on a 21 inch TV. We thought it was fantastic!
Wow, they’ve updated their test pattern since late 1974 when one of the programs shown during children’s viewing time was “Color (sic) Test Pattern”.
