Agree, I think part of WIN’s success in the mid-late 90s (when it began to outrate the 10 Capital bulletin) was due to it being ‘live and local’. Prime was the first 6pm Canberra local bulletin to bite the dust in 2001, with 10 Capital following a few months later… these two events were the catalyst for the local TV content rules now being in place. Funny now how 7 is now # 1 at 6pm in Canberra even though it isn’t local at all. ---

Aggregation was kinda a gold rush for market share - and the strong local news product was one of the few clear things that could boost a network, and that early investment to break the incumbency factor was important. There weren’t that many investments you could be sure didn’t make sense without the benefit of the hindsight of knowing how much damage the digital conversion and broadband internet would have on the media landscape, as well as in general technology reducing the space needed to produce the same content. ---

And the irony that ABC TV Canberra had no local bulletin for well over a decade during the start of aggregation and all through the 90’s, but now is the only local and live TV News bulletin produced and screened in the ACT. ---

Discussion of lighting up a +1,000 ft high TV broadcast tower. Has anything like that been done in Australia.

I don’t think they use film anymore but isn’t BTN recorded in Adelaide? So it would probably be in the ABC building in Collinswood. ---

Studio 51A in Collinswood - same studio as the 7pm news in SA (news desk is across from the BtN desk). ---

Apart from Studio 11 in Canberra (Northbourne) and Studio 81 in Darwin, along with Studio 51A and 51B, these are the only original active studios in the ABC. I knew a time when Studio 51B used to do ABS News, when did they change to 51A? ---

AFAIK Studio 51A has been the news studio since at least the 2005 relaunch, possibly earlier. Studio 51B was used for productions when ABC Adelaide had an internal production unit, but that was cut in 2014 - since then it’s now used by Channel 44 (offices are located in the same building), and is also available to rent for other productions. ABC still uses it for state election coverage. ABC Adelaide also have an auditorium space, which was used at least one time when Q&A came to Adelaide. ---

Possibly you are correct, I do know Studio 51B did ABW News for a couple weeks while ABC Perth moved buildings in 2005 with ABC WA TV Continuity performed by ABN also during the move. While ABS News was possibly always from Studio 51A. The Studio 51B feed I saw outside of ABW News was indeed local production of then network programs. Were both studios and control rooms widescreen at that stage? ---

I noticed Google maps has been updated, You can now see the back of the former ATV10 studios where Neighbours is currently filmed. The building will be officially **60 years old** this week, the birth place of the 10 Network. The housing development is slowly increasing around the complex. ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/c/7/9/c798313dc10c0ff60a9d332a9b19397d7a6f7fd5.jpeg) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/0/b/8/0b859272b88ba5e44c6c41c477ea24abf01364d0.jpeg) ---

This similar image made me think, anyone know if the old BCV studios (SC10) in Bendigo are still in use for anything such as sales, let alone standing? IIRC was off a side street, fenced off, a large site, on the northern side of the city centre, adjacent to St John of God private hospital. Used to drive past it regularly when I’d be in the town. Think there was another sales office on the other side of town, like on the Calder Hwy as you enter, Kangaroo Flat. _edit_ Just tried to do a quick search myself, can’t believe I found it, that’s it isn’t it? Looks like still in operation! 161 Lily Street.

Radio used to be in High Street, moved into Lily Street sometime last decade after Macquarie bought out Southern Cross. WIN’s sales office is at the other end of Lily Street (corner of High), and Gold (ARN) are further down in Golden Square. ---
