Ch 83 now running a loop. Date sept 2 is now displayed as launch date
Also wonder what happens if/when Ten decides to run breaking morning news as seen with the Thai cave special as well as Studio 10 cyclone coverage in the past (which was broadcast primarily for viewers on WIN). Will Sky/HLN budge?
Premium content? If its premium content why is it delayed by over 48 hours by the time that Ten air Fridays edition of CBS This Morning. This is where Bruce Gordons thinking may be at
Maybe that content will be moved to One or have a message that the normal Sky News programs may be seen on channel 83/53
It’s really not. It’s cheap filler from the lowest rating of the American network morning shows.

I just vomited a little in my mouth after reading that right wing media release.
SO when will the Nine version happen with mixing in right wing Fairfax .
I’ll say it right now, thank what ever deity you happen to understand that CBS bought Ten and not Murdoch and Gordon.
Imagine inflicting this retarded BS on metro FTA viewers, its one thing for country people but on metro a test pattern would out ate it.

The schedule jumps right off the loony cliff when Credlin’s show hits the airwaves.

Win viewers will lap this shit up… regional viewers will skew right wing.
Jesus … could you imagine the outrage if Ten were taken over by this mob with this schedule. I shudder at the thought. Ten really dodged a bullet.

Because it still airs in the same weekday timeslot for continuity. It provides consistent content for Monday to Friday mornings for our market.
If I thought it wasn’t good enough to air I wouldn’t be suggesting to retain it (ala Prime and their obsession with Home Shopping) nor would I suggest WIN retain it if it wasn’t good enough for WIN as they could generate more revenue with Home Shopping, but WIN is committed to news content for its viewers which CBS This Morning through Ten provides in the pre-6am schedule. Southern Cross did this until only a few years before they changed affiliation.
It is good content. GMA and (these days) Today are bottom feeder junk.
In some markets, yes.
For the most part, I can’t see this doing well in regional Victoria, for example.
I wonder if this could be a way of the Murdoch family trying to become Australia’s fourth commercial network - run WIN into the ground and hope the Gordon family will do a James Packer and sell the netowrk
WIN’s heartland (Wollongong/South Coast) is a in close proximity to Sydney so the argument could be that some sections of Sydney could be potentially receiving the WIN signal.
Australia dodge the bullet.
Remember the good ol’ days when people used to run tall antennas so they could receive metro signals in rural regions to see all the stations, and fringe metro dwellers could pick up home city cricket matches against the gate?
I wonder if people will do this again so they can tune in to Bolt, Credlin and the other pundits??

i can see it now , bruce will turn the win network into the sky news network . i think this is his hole plan all along . he wont negotiate with cbs when the affiliation agreement ends . he will bring sky news on win hd full time and make one and eleven foxtel tv channels or the such
Judging by what we’ve seen of the programming schedule, it seems like there’s only a few “Sky News on WIN” programs that genuinely cater to regional areas with the rest being content piped in from the Foxtel channels.
Yeah, I was fully expecting the nightly opinion programs to air on delay or only in the form of “highlights” the next day!
Personally, I think that would only really work for Regional Queensland, Southern NSW/ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.
Even by overnight TV standards I can’t imagine too many people from the Northern NSW/Gold Coast, SA or WA markets being that interested in repeats of WIN News bulletins from some other part of the country.
Would fortuitous reception into Sydney really count towards WIN’s viewing figures? Probably not.
I’m pretty sure most of the 2GB/Daily Telegraph-worshippers in Western Sydney who’d be interested in Sky News opinion programming already have Foxtel.

He has over the years threatened to independently program the WIN network… so maybe the CBS deal with Ten’s receivers was the final straw in regards to him dealing with metropolitan networks

Not yet because of the Nine / Sky News channel that is eventually going to replace xTra on the Nine Mux in metro mainland regions + regional North NSW and lower Gold Coast.
I thought that a Sky News Business channel…
