Yeah, from memory it launched early July 2017
Local window is starts at between 6:08 or 6:15
I agree re the costs, and the ABC has a local weekend bulletin in the Territory, and thatâs probably enough.
They did two local windows for a while and now back to one window.
The format is now starting with about 3 live stories, then to the local news window, then back for some more live stories.
When the bulletins first started, they went to commercial break when the local news window finished.
Here is a montage from last week:

No headline graphics on tonightâs opener:

In my opinion there are either too many stories being headlined, or each headline is too long. Vanessa is reading them VERY fast with barely a breath in between each one. Iâm not sure how that Illawarra opening compares to the other SNSW markets (obviously it has to be the same length, but did the others trail so many stories?) or to other Nine bulletins in general. Youâve got an hour, love - whatâs the rush? 
Noticed on the playout to ad break tonight that Nine have included a âtomorrow on Todayâ promo in the feed, which aired before the SCA ad break started.

He seems to be a pretty good presenter!

A few NQ stories have been shown statewide the last 2 nights resulting in non-local content being shown in the local windows.
Last night, the bulletin opened with 2x NQ stories shown statewide (a stabbing near Ayr, and a police pursuit in Ayr).
The local window then started with a story about a mine fire southwest of Mackay (irrelevant to the local region), then local stories, the âlocalâ window then ended on a story about a Mackay craft group knitting jumpers for lambs (completely irrelevant to Townsville).
Tonight, we again had a random story from the Mackay market shoved into the local window, about AirBNB usage in the Whitsundays, with a NQ story shown statewide afterwards, about the stabbing near Ayr.
I understand the need to fill the local window when local stories are significant enough to show statewide, but the selection of these non-local stories seems to leave a lot to be desired

Iâve enjoyed seeing a noticeable increase in live crosses during the regional QLD bulletin recently.

Sigh. 6:02 and SNSW/ACT has a story about traffic in Sydney. If theyâre going to lead with pointless Sydney news, give us the real bulletin with a good anchor and set.

What an absolute joke!
Realistically this wonât happen, but Iâd probably go as far as saying Nine Newsâ Southern NSW/ACT regional bulletins need to be produced entirely from NBN Newcastle. Although that wouldnât be perfect (ideally, it should be produced in Canberra or Wollongong) itâd still be better than having a bunch of Sydney residents guessing what they think Southern NSW/ACT viewers want to watch.
