How is that different from what SC Nine already does in their remaining markets?
It could have been worse for 7,9,10 & affiliates, had Australia gone down the deregulation route NZ did, otherwise Pay-tv would be stronger and theyâd likely have had more multi-nationals starting TV stations in the 90âs & 00âs⌠it would have been farewell to the old networksâ tidy little cartel.
But as this is a news thread, I shall digress.
Letâs use correct terminology
No bulletins were axed
There is one bulletin in the regions in Queensland that has 7 local break out Windows and branding elements
It is one bulletin - with 7 local branding elements and windows
2 of those have been axed
No bulletins have been axed
Tell that to the Mackay and Toowoomba journos that got cut loose.

The Darling Downs bulletin was replaced with the one coming from Brisbane. That area now receives 9 news from Brisbane.

Not sure if this was a technical blooper or possibly a sign that changes have been made to the bulletin, but Nine News Illawarra started tonight without a proper opener. A generic âNine News Illawarraâ titlecard was used (it did not feature the Sea Cliff Bridge in the background as it normally does) and the globe animation was frozen until the âwith Vanesssa OâHanlonâ voiceover was spoken. It didnât appear to be a technical blooper, but who knows really.

Sounds like a blooper to me.
They wouldnât normally deliberately make a change like that on a Friday.

Here is an old archive story of when Nine News Darwin celebrated 30 years of news in 2012. It shows alot of their âNews at 7â segment when they first launched.

Have Nine starting going with the same route Nine News Canberra/Illawarra did from launch with openers back in the very early days?
Clearly a technical problem.

The weather preview at the start of the bulletin needs to be itâs own local window.
Maybe three different grouped versions,
NQ (Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton),
SQ (Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast),
NT (Darwin).
The weather preview that aired statewide tonight was nearly entirely about Darwin, talking about the amount of rain âweâveâ seen in Darwin this month compared to average, and the rain forecast ahead, with a brief mention of Ex-TC Oma at the end.
Watching this from a local perspective, it seems really bizarre to be hearing all about Darwin

That happens on NBN News too, whereby Newcastle weather typically dominates the preview.it, which will probably irk northern viewers.

Itâs so dodgy. At least for NNSW viewers the locations mentioned arenât too far away.
Here I am in NQ hearing detailed weather for a city thatâs not even in the state!

To me, it seems obvious that there needs to be at least one localised Weather Preview during the Regional bulletins (including NBN).
From what Iâve seen, Nine News Sydney airs three Weather Previews (1st segment, pre-Sport which is possibly recorded and one in the final segment before Finance & Fuel + Weather) before the main forecast most nights!
