I assume WIN only aired Nine News at 5, skipping Nine News Perth?

Start of the end for morning talk show, The Circle. Ten announced that this talk show would be axed. Breakfast would then have to cut down by 30 minutes.

Interesting to see shows like Hi-5 at 1:30pm. Would all shows be two hours before normal schedule and simulcast with the eastern states?

We’re these extended sports bulletins?
No, specialised topic shows: arts, science, consumer, health etc. “Quarters” referred to its run time.

Various topics featuring an extended report. From memory there was health, finance, arts, the weather, rural affairs, consumer affairs and one or two others.
Here’s a couple of examples from the ABC News channel on YT.

I vaguely seem to recall that they were a logistical necessity to relieve the main studio for a quarter hour, but I can’t remember exactly what that necessity was. Did the presenters need a toilet break or something?? But I for some reason thought it was for a technical reason. Can’t recall it at all now, though. Maybe I just imagined it?!?

You also see captioning only required 1800-2230 and News/caff programs outside that zone.

Not quite sure about the rationale but they certainly didn’t last very long.
