ABC News 24 Live streaming switched for ABC 2 – Oops!

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:

ABC News 24 iPad app - the caption doesn't QUITE match the pictures 🙂

and the website live stream:

ABC News 24 live online stream - Showing ABC 2 at 9pm Saturday Night.

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!
