@Radiohead I tend to agree!
Let’s hope SCA do them for each local region (eg, about 7 areas in QLD, 7 in SNSW plus about 5 in VIC and TAS, WA, SA etc)

Southern Cross Nine should start launching local Facebook pages for each of it’s local news region ahead of the launch of on air news services in the moths ahead.
I noticed 7 News Toowoomba and 7 News Gold Coast both launched their Facebook pages a few months ahead of the on air launch of the newscasts. As they built their offices, staff and journo teams - they would post photos, content and even video of local news. As well as bio pieces on reporters, anchors and local happenings. They also posted content from 7 News Brisbane that was relevant to the local area.
By the time the on air bulletin launched both had already 20,000 likes or so - that is a huge base to launch and market the local news services to and build a relationship with local viewers.
SC Nine could do the sam bey getting FB pages up off the ground in the month or so ahead for:
Cairns
Townsville
Mackay
Rockhampton
Sunshine Coast
Toowoomba
Canberra
Wollongong
Orange-Dubbo-Wagga
Albury
Gippsland
Ballarat
Bendigo
Shepperton

It actually replaced an earlier SCA advert wrap that had The Project on one side, Family Fued on the other, and rotating programs on the rear (Big Bash, TBL, Living Room etc), so changing up some panels probably isn’t out of the question.

True, but if SCA knew that they were ditching Peter Overton and were going with their own 1 hr of news anytime soon, I think they would have waited.
Although the Nine News ad itself is already dated, what with reflecting the old style On-Air graphics which were replaced last Sunday.
I wonder if SCA will eventually update it? Yeah, probably not! 
The fine people at SCA can’t even get a simple placeholder right.

7TWO/7MATE numbers are wrong under Darwin/Central and SA/BHill Seven

Channel 55 (formally YesShop) is now a black screen… probably fixing up some LCN Number errors on the placeholder?

…or in preparation for the launch of another service (more than likely more shopping, of course).

Some issues on SC9 QLD this morning, with the Today “HD” sticking around for most of the next program, including during ad breaks.

Sloppy as per usual. Blue and orange work well together.
Noticed that a complete dirty feed (metro ads were playing out) for most of this afternoon through 9Tas.

Have we heard anything new about SC9 Local bulletins?
Yes, but it’s totally a secret and we all promised not to tell.
