Not sure if other states do this, but Perth uses ‘Afternoons’ during the opener of their afternoon bulletin
But ‘First at 4’ going to breaks.

Nice Barilaro exclusive on Seven News Sydney tonight. Quite a contrast to how Nine covered the story painting him as a hard done by victim and ignoring the extent of the assault on the cameraman.
Good job by 7 but unsure how the story on 9 was at all sympathetic to the ex-politician? He seemed to cop a fair whack. They were limited to a three second social media video so used his radio interview more than the scuffle what 7 had multi cameras at.

Not for a while - Queensland used to have than but First at 4 has been replaced. Now when going to a break it’s a promo for the 6pm news.

Is 7News in Brisbane still simulcast on 96.5fm?
No. Not for over a year.

No simulcast.

Didn’t think so. Maybe it’s something they should consider again for exposure? Pretty sure 9 still does their radio simulcast.

Nine Gold Coast News is simulcast on 4CRB 89.3 (changed from Juice 107.3 a while ago).
Seven don’t simulcast their Gold Coast or Brisbane news.

But maybe they should once again for wider exposure.
I don’t think 96.5 could be considered wider exposure. Their audience is tiny. And if 7 considered it beneficial, they’d still be doing it.
Does 7 still do the 3pm news on Nova?
I know if I was ever out in the car at that time I’d listen to 7News on 96.5. Was recently driving at news time and couldn’t find it, but did find 9News. That’s what prompted my question…

Id say if it makes profit for Seven then they’d consider it.
For some quirk, Triple T Townsville broadcasts 7 News Townsville.
Nine could be doing it for promotional/wide exposure to their news brand.
It’s very easy for these stations just to play music between 6-7pm.

I got the impression that Family 96.5 dropped Seven and preferred to have music during the hour. I’d think that the TV station would have to pay for the airtime to broadcast the news; perhaps Family could get more money from sponsorship of music during the time.
Nine could also put Nine News on 4BH if they wanted to get wider coverage.
I think that Seven News Sunshine Coast used to be on Sunshine Fm at one point as well as local updates in the afternoon.
BTW a previous post I made regarding 96.5: The last Seven Brisbane bulletin to feature the simulcast was Sunday 20 December 2020.
