I haven’t seen a central west or Riverina 9 news Facebook page yet or those from other areas except North Queensland. Maybe they are trying to make it more informative like the other nine news bulletins?
Here’s the second last and last noodle updates in Canberra

Hate to delve off topic, but this is one great things about Australia being as small as it is.
I can’t think of many other places where you can have a cheeky dig at a (practically national) news presenter’s tie on a web forum and then have him post a cheeky reply on Twitter.
Although it isn’t the first time I’ve seen this sort of thing either. There was a “Australian Nostalgia” Facebook page a while back that posted about The Shak. In the comments someone called one of the presenters a bitch. The presenter in question replied shortly after. 
It’s certainly a small world.
ps: nan thinks you are great if you are reading this tim

It is possible they’ve used the new Sydney set for promos as their new green screen backdrop like we’ve seen on twitter would look so budget in a promo.

One would have thought so from the get go… on another note- will these bulletins be live streamed?

If the Darwin news bulletin and the NBN news bulletin is anything to go by, I’d say it’s extremely unlikely these bulletins will be live streamed at this stage. Probably not for a while at least yet.

Confirmed start date for the Victorian Bulletins, March 6.
That gives us:
Feb 6 - Canberra
Feb 13 - Illawarra
Feb 20 - Central West NSW
Feb 27 - Wagga Wagga
Mar 6 - Victoria (Ballarat?)
Mar 13 - (Bendigo?)
Mar 20 - (Albury?)
Mar 27 - (Gippsland)?
Would be good if Regional QLD started the following week on Apr 3.

Will these be on the SCA channels on VAST?
R3 is Wagga, Wollundry Lagoon and with the old 2WG/FM93 building in the background.

They might convert 410 to show Nine News Canberra and Illawarra to begin with, but they will need to eventually launch 1 new channel for every 2 bulletins, just like the NBN News channels. I don’t see how they will be able to work in the new bulletins without making some big changes to the lineup.

And they’re O&O stations
Personally I’d be surprised if these bulletins make it online at all
Unless the regional networks don’t want to share channels for whatever reason, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be logical to give each region it’s own VAST News Channel to make the service a little more user friendly.
With the addition of three more VAST Regional Channels, perhaps something like this could work…
401: Cairns News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
402: Townsville News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
403: Mackay News Channel (Seven, Nine)
404: Rockhampton News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
405: Bundaberg/Wide Bay News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
406: Sunshine Coast News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
407: Toowoomba News Channel (Seven, Nine, WIN)
408: Gold Coast News Channel (Seven*, Nine*, NBN)
409: NSW North Coast News Channel (Prime7, NBN - both Mid North Coast & Far North Coast variants of NBN News would air between Prime7 News)
410: Tamworth News Channel (Prime7, NBN)
411: Newcastle/Central Coast News Channel (NBN, the Newcastle version of the news would air followed by the Central Coast version and so on)
412: Wollongong News Channel (Nine, WIN)
413: Canberra News Channel (Nine, WIN)
414: Orange News Channel (Prime7, Nine, WIN)
415: Wagga News Channel (Prime7, Nine, WIN)
416: Albury News Channel (Prime7, Nine, WIN)
417: Shepparton News Channel (Nine, WIN)
418: Bendigo News Channel (Nine, WIN)
419: Ballarat News Channel (Nine, WIN)
420: Gippsland News Channel (Nine, WIN)
421: Tasmania News Channel (Southern Cross, WIN)
422: Regional SA & Broken Hill News Channel (Southern Cross)
423: Darwin News Channel (Nine)
*Proposed new/additional bulletins.
I was thinking about omitting Nine News Darwin because it’s shown on 9Gem via Imparja, but thought it would be best to still include a Darwin channel for fairness.
Depending on bandwidth/interest, I’d probably also do the following later down the track:
- Add a further four capital city news channels, so everyone has access to their most relevant version of the bulletins from Seven, Nine & Ten.
- Maybe come to a deal with the ABC so their bulletins could be repeated on the VAST News Service. Obviously under such a proposal, the Canberra bulletin would be shown on the Canberra News Channel, the Darwin bulletin on the Darwin News Channel, the Tasmania bulletin on the Tasmania News Channel and the other state versions on the most relevant capital city news channel.

I found the following Tweet.
Sounds like a playout error rather than anything to do with the news.
If SCA/Nine Canberra were smart they would have had a promo bug on screen the last few days down near the watermark bug
9 N E W S
C A N B E R R A

I guess there will new news updates on the air from about 2pm onwards?
