Very interesting. It was always going to be a matter of time given the poor quality of Win News (no fault of the crew on the ground in Canberra).
If SCA and Nine pull their fingers out and actually do some advertising on bus stop shelters, sponsor more community events, etc and of course get rid of the irrelevant Sydney stories in the bulletin it would be even better.
Prime7 Canberra rebroadcasts Seven News Sydney at 6pm each night. For the Canberra market, âPrime7 Local Newsâ just consists of those short legally required updates.
I wouldnât be surprised if Nine are winning in the 6-7pm hour, but WIN are winning 6-6:30 - with Prime just below Nine, and both beating WIN across the hour.
Personally I would like to know the validity of what Gavin is saying⌠I feel like it could be a bit bias? I honestly cant see Vanessa winning⌠but then again i could be wrong as i donât live in those areas. But when figures are released on ratings in regional NSW/ACT it will be interesting to see if he is right.
As much as I donât like Ferguson on Seven News Sydney, at least the Sydney bulletin on Seven looks and feels like a real bulletin (even with the dubious quality content). Nineâs Canberra still feel awkward and just another parody of WIN news IMO, and as for VanessaâŚshe hasnât improved much at all.
Maybe the problem with the Canberra bulletin is the fact that people in the capital city of Australia wants to see a Canberra version of the flagship bulletins in Sydney (with smooth flow and everything). I feel that Nineâs model could work for regional centres, but certainly not the capital city of Australia.
Better than Nine News NSW which still has the sports presenter throwing to the ad break before weather (do they still do that? Happy to be corrected on this).
Iâve only just had a chance to look back through last nightâs 9 News NQ, and noticed a very minor blooper where Sam was reading the âcoming upâ headlines featuring the âTrainy McTrainfaceâ story. She read that and started to laugh before realising there was still one more headline to read before the break.
Interesting, to hear Sam and Andrew using the exact same scripts to introduce stories. Also interesting to see that the regional bulletin covered nearly double the amount of sports stories as the Brisbane bulletin.
