Maybe this was the master plan! Goodbye Prime, hello GWN across Regional Australia!

Call me a conspiracy theorist but maybe that’s the new regional order. GWN to be spread across the country and you realise that it could be Greater (than) WIN Network… Just a way for them to assert their dominance further.

I’d think it wouldn’t be hard to swap out the modified (long) Prime7 & GWN7 promos for the original 7 ones, then the watermarks; both would avoid such problems (well, hide them from viewers) by standardising on a common (network) brand, now that 7 owns them.
Obviously changing/rebranding the local news would be last.
How quickly are on-air changes likely to appear? (Behind the scenes stuff would easily take months, as I’d imagine channel changes like 7mate HD); as @Nick said, I’d think 7 may want to make some visual changes before the Olympic winter games (or when it starts?).
Given the long-standing co-branding, they could phase-out the Prime7/GWN7 brands piece-by-piece instead of waiting for a big relaunch.

Do that over a couple of years and they’ll reduce viewer backlash about losing their ‘local’ stations too.

The days of local TV went out the window many years ago. All just bloody relays now.

The metro stations have been that for longer. Regional stations are not special.

The metro networks run their own schedules, regionals don’t anymore.
Each city used to run its own schedule. Sydney. Melbourne. Canevvra
No station in Australia has run their own schedule for decades now. Be it Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat or Cairns.
Everyone gets the same schedule

Metro “networks” do run their own schedule. They dictate what goes to air. The regionals relay what they are given for 23-24 hours a day (home shopping infomercials excepted).

All networks programming is decided in Sydney.
The whole country follows that schedule.
Melbourne to Morree.
Not quite, there are local variations for AFL and NRL games during the football season. And the odd localised program like Sydney Weekender, Postcards etc.
