Nine News crosses to a Channel Seven reporter during a live cross

Channel Nine suffered an embarrassing gaffe during the Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ press conference on Tuesday.

As Andrews discussed the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, Seven News reporter Tegan Dolling was briefly shown on screen.

The Seven reporter was preparing for a live cross from Albury-Wodonga, but viewers were left confused when she appeared on Channel Nine.

According to TV Tonight, the scene changed after a few seconds and went back to an interpreter signing the Premier’s speech.

This isn’t the first time the networks have suffered a technical glitch.

In May, Channel Seven’s Weekend Sunrise host Matt Doran experienced an awkward encounter on live television.

The 36-year-old was left red-faced when the breakfast program suffered technical issues and failed to switch to the next segment.

After Matt threw to reporter Sarah Greenhalgh in Italy, the screen suddenly switched to Sportsbet’s Inside Trading show hosted by Simon Marshall.

But the show failed to begin and showed Simon reading his scripts while dropping the F-word live on-air. 

While the footage continued playing, Sportbet analysts Julian Vallance and Ben Clifton could also be heard having a conversation.

The television segment then switched back to Sarah reporting on coronavirus cases in Italy.

The show immediately cut back to the newsroom and Matt said: ‘Sarah Greenhalgh reporting there and let’s get some more news now with Sally.’
