I’d already phoned them and complained but filled that in too just now saying basically the same thing; thanks.
Wishful thinking I suspect; I think the former WIN employee’s suggestion that Bruce was probably visiting Australia was probably correct (and the story about how the similar solid WIN logos on GEM & Go! appeared & stayed until Nine changed the logos when rebranding them as 9GEM & 9Go!), and so we’re stuck with the huge monstrosity now.
Brucey visited in 2008, too. He must have been a lot happier back then.
Thanks for the link.
I wasn’t aware WIN had a complaints page. Will be filling one now
So all of this happens whilst I’m in a marginal WIN area and I can’t even receive WIN 
You’re not missing anything good.
Feel greatful that you’re not in the WIN region.
Well yes.
Most houses have around where I’m currently staying have their antennas pointed towards Lookout Hill / Highton.
The only reason I want to get WIN is for the All Australian News and the local news, nothing else.
WIN are really flogging All Australian News.
I was aware of a replay of it at 12pm on ONE, which has been going for a while.
But it seems that they are now also showing the same episode again straight after that at 1pm on ELEVEN.
This means it’s now airing:
11:30pm or 12:00am on WIN
Repeat at 7:00am on WIN
Repeat at 12:00pm on ONE
Repeat at 1:00pm on ELEVEN
It was happening on the SA feeds yesterday too.
In the first week of the new year (1st to 7th January), WIN has won the week in network shares in Regional Victoria, Tasmania & Regional WA, and won primary channel shares in Regional QLD (beaten by Seven in network shares) & Southern NSW (beaten by Nine in network shares). This is due to Ten’s coverage of the BBL, which is relayed on WIN.

I think credit clearly has to go to WIN’s change in on air branding - regional viewers love solid blue watermarks, and WIN delivered.
Too soon. (You know how distance let’s one see the funny side of things… maybe when the WIN brand no longer exists, then it might be funny. 
)
I’m struggling to find what to say, looking for a metaphore, to describe the return of Mappy, bigger, more solid, and more offensive… without being offensive.
…
Never mind.

What’s BBL?
It’s not something on the not-to-be-watched huge blue map channel, is it?
Big Bash League.
The BBL probably would’ve rated well regionally even if we still had SC10 and a Nine-affiliated WIN because as we should all know by now, premium live sport coverage is popular viewing pretty much everywhere in Australia.
Once the BBL is over for another Summer and January becomes February, I’m sure the regional TV ratings will be largely much the same as they are in metropolitan areas.
The regional ratings for week one are pretty much the same as the metro ones. First time I can remember Prime coming third; they usually perform better than Seven; same week last year Prime ranked first.
Instead of all these random - up to 12 hour old replays - of wins all Australian news, they are better off re-tooling the format, adding a news and weather ticker and going live at 7am
You should add it to Wikipedia.
The great man’s birth notice in the SMH.
I’m surprised WIN hasn’t made a superhero origins type story for him yet.
