I agree.
I think there is value in keeping QTQ aimed at those north of the border and NBN for those south of the border. It means that the interests of both states are covered.
âFirst & Bestâ - what a load of âŚ
Iâm sure Prime7 would dispute that claim!
Just a bit lost here, when does the VIC bulletins start? Is it next week?
I know Nine are using that same (stupid) tagline as they do elsewhere, but really they shouldâve omitted it from the promos for these new regional bulletins.
Western Vic / Ballarat - 6 March
In pissing Prime7 and WIN off.
Goodness!! WIN would raise their eyebrow with that, especially in their Griffith monopoly area.

Haha, WIN being pissed of at NineâŚwonderful! Maybe someone would care if WIN had stopped using the rounded Nine-style logo & news branding from back when they were a Nine affiliate (theyâve had nine months to prepare new branding graphics).
At least I can trust Jo Hall reading the news. If I was living in Canberra, Illawara, Central West and Riverina, I would miss Peter Overton reading the news.
Overtonâs OK, but I slightly prefer Hitchener (from what Iâve seen when visiting Melbourne).
I donât mind Vanessa OâHanlon, but the cheap & nasty presentation is really letting the bulletin down (oh at least give up per-story backdrops! Everyone had those decades ago!!!).

Yep. Why sit her off to the side if youâre not going to bother with OTS graphics?
If nine was smart, they should have went to court the Friday afternoon before Canberra started with an injunction to stop win from using the nine style graphics etc.
would have set the cat amongst the pigeons
Looks better tbh.
Do you really think that an injunction wouldâve been granted?
Injunctions are immediate and (if I understand correctly) the applicant needs to show why it is urgently needed, the ongoing harm of not stopping the alleged infraction right nowâŚ
Difficult for Nine (or SCA) to argue when theyâve ignored it for over half a year.
IMO, that actually looks worse than the backdrop they used before. Reminds me of one of those dodgy backdrops youâd expect from SCAâs News Updates!
So much better but the I hope the story graphics arenât stuck in that small box.
(Sorry for repeating myself, but) they should use the location background pics theyâve been using only at the start of the bulletin & at breaks, but have story-specific backgrounds the rest of the time.
