I was going to say it was Brisbane ads but in a different order on the QTQ Gold Coast feed. As for the GemLife ad, they’re quite generic, there are times where the Gold Coast is mentioned, other times it’ll probably be for areas in Northern NSW or other Queensland cities.
I’ve seen the Moreton Bay and Highfields (Toowoomba) GemLife ads appear during the Gold Coast news. Even then these ads (including the Gold Coast variant) are also shown in Brisbane.
You would think because it’s an opt-out bulletin they would allow Gold Coast ads to be broadcast. If the Gold Coast regionals (NEN, NBN and NRN) were shut down, where would GC advertisers book their TV ad spots? GC advertisers would probably want to advertise in their local area only, not also have their ads shown in Brisbane. Surely something has to be done, showing Brisbane ads on the QTQ GC feed during opt-outs isn’t quite right. Sure, it’s QTQ Brisbane (local Gold Coast feed), but during the opt-outs they could surely allow the Gold Coast advertisers to book ad spots on there, right?
Nearly a decade ago (back in 2016), there were these sponsor billboards from local GC businesses, and guess what, they aired during the Gold Coast news.
Well if they can show that, why can’t they just simply let advertisers book ad spots on the QTQ GC opt-outs? When the opt-outs are done, then sure, show Brisbane ads. During the Gold Coast news would normally be the time to insert GC ads. But nope, apart from a GemLife Gold Coast sponsor billboard (as the GemLife ads themselves are also mentioning other locations instead of the GC), it’s just ads coming from Brisbane.
