That doesn’t explain not doing headlines. It’s a standard part of making a bulletin.
I think as someone else pointed out it’s deliberate.
The producers must feel putting local headlines for each region up top only serves to highlight to people that there are many stories coming up that ARE NOT of interest/ in the region, i think that must be their thinking
I can see how they arrived at that thought - but I don’t agree
If viewers are making it through the bulletin as it is, it’s not going to hinder viewership by highlighting stories coming up
Also, the headlines could be done in a teasey way to make viewers across all regions think the story could be in their area
“A local council voted to change the whole city to 40km speed zones”
Or “a horror highway crash leaves 2 dead”
