And besides the fact Walgett is totally outside their broadcasting region as well.
Both the old CWN6 and NEN9 could be received in Walgett so not quite out of the zone. I’d say the digital signals would only just get into Walgett these days.
I’m sure local viewers would still have found the item interesting.

those with VAST dishes would be able to get the Prime7 Central West bulletin on the regional news channel. Walgett only gets ABC and SBS on their local transmitter, if viewers wanted commercial TV they would have to get VAST.

Walgett’s terrestrial TV is served from two sites. A BA site running ABC and SBS, and an Imparja site across the road running Imparja, Seven Central and CDT transcoded from VAST. When I worked for SCA, this Imparja site was one we had telemetry and monitoring responsibilities over for all commercial services.
So they do get commercial TV terrestrially but not Seven Regional, and not the VAST news channels, so you’re right that they’d need a dish to receive the Seven Regional Central West bulletin.

And they would only be eligible for VAST if they can’t get the terrestrial retransmission?
Also 7 North West would be slightly more relevant to Walgett than 7 Central West.

No, it is only being broadcast in Seven Regional areas. 7QLD are in the same boat according to online guides with Seven News Brisbane airing yesterday and today, and Seven News (insert region name) returning tomorrow.

Two of Seven News Regional’s Canberra-based reporters are currently filing stories for the local bulletins - Lillie Hull on the Central West bulletin, while Nick Overall (son of Nationals MP Nichole Overall and former Queanbeyan Mayor Tim Overall) is currently filing stories in Port Macquarie for the Coast bulletin while Samantha Crowe is on holidays.

I notice the videos posted online still don’t have any supers. Obviously working with the same processes one year on.

The caps that get posted to social media don’t and the lack of information about speakers is really frustrating
