In an unfortunate mix up tonight at the ABC, the much anticipated iPad app update from the ABC is not allowing you to watch ABC News 24.
Instead, it’s streaming ABC 2 when you click on the live stream. Same applies at http://www.abc.net.au/news/abcnews24/ it’s probably just a switch that’s been flicked incorrectly somewhere at ABC MCR.

My information is that this is NOT an issue with the widely discussed MEDIAHUB which broadcasts all ABC content now, a Joint Venture operation as opposed to the internal Master Control systems of the past.
Instead, Live streaming comes from ABC Brisbane – so, whatever the fault, I’m sure it will be fixed soon.
Here is the iPad app shot:
and the website live stream:
UPDATE (9.32pm) – and in a sign that it could have been an automated switch scheduling issue, at almost exactly 9.30pm, Service to the ABC News 24 stream online and on iPad has been restored!
