But running orders are typically broadly similar and have been for a long time. Up until the mid-2000s there was a bit more variation, with the Six and Ten even having their own correspondents and occasional exclusive 'special reports'. During the 1990s and early-00s, the One was also a bit different format-wise (quite similar to the NC), including DtL and studio interviews with non-correspondents.
Ultimately, though, the fact that it's news from one organisation means there has always been overlap, budget cuts since the mid-2000s have only made differentiation harder and led to even more resource sharing. Plus, as Brekkie says, I don't think there is an expectation that people watch multiple bulletins a day.
