One thing I can note, the West Australian Football League is pronounced as “Waffle”, rather than “W.A.F.L”.
Hope there isn’t a chance the Eagles have to forfeit an AFL game though.

I use that pronunciation too but I will say I’ve heard it pronounced the latter way, including on WA news bulletins

Fair enough, I can also understand the latter pronunciation being used more outside of WA since the “waffle” nickname is more engrained here than elsewhere.
The West Australian Football Commission is always pronounced “W.A.F.C” of course. Can you imagine saying “waffc”?

It’s a good segment even though I’m from NSW and don’t understand AFL or the history. I’m not a fan of sport in general but the segment was interesting none the less. However you still make distracting head moves when you are reading the script. But I can see improvement since I last watched Darby present so keep up the good work.

Maybe add sport to the tags for sports bulletins/videos?
Love it Darby! Great to see this.

Seven Nine and ten are 50 year old linear tv Brands with news divisions - so their brands make sense
That would be something for the people who gave birth to it to decide. I don’t know much about the vision the purpose or the mission. What the brand actually stands for Or hopes to carve out a niche for. So not knowing much I couldn’t offer anything meaningful up
However I’d likely think about moving away from a linear tv number brand channel naming convention as it doesn’t make a lot of sense in a post linear digital streaming world to me.
I think you’re perhaps overthinking it a bit. I am not speaking for Leo of course, he can answer for himself. But as an outside observer, I see a channel that has just developed organically so it’s probably fair to say “6 News” was not part of a defined branding strategy or vision statement but now it’s established and people know it as that, why would they consider changing it?
