Well, Prime Possum was the longest ever lived possum ever as they normally only live 5 to 10 years of age. To live 28 years would have been a medical miracle!

Does Prime Possum still exist or has Prime Possum been put to rest?

The “tombstone” is probably a hint

I wasn’t sure if it was done in jest and if Prime Possum was still used for events at shopping centres etc
I believe there was a time that Fat Cat was used in this manner after his axing

Any news on Seven Regional News bulletins for Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra or will they remain noodle updates?
I can’t see them changing any time soon

Well, I for one believe that any additional funding that regional television receives should be tied to actual locally produced broadcasts and that the production should be over all markets, not just the heritage markets.
In defining local production, I believe it should be a minimum length of at least 10 minutes. In other words, multiple noodle updates would not meet the criteria.
Although my idea will probably get no traction, I think it’s a better system than what we have.
I understand the argument about the fact that in some markets broadcasters are losing money, I think it will continue whilst major media outlets are paying ridiculous sums of money for sports. The government needs to bring in fairer and more rational ways to protect sports in general

All good ideas, but the reality is they aren’t going to happen.

They’re going to remain the noodle updates
Will never happen. If anything, Wagga, Orange, Albury, Tamworth, Taree, North Coast and Bunbury may get reduced to noodle updates over time.
7 are in the process of cutting costs. There’s no way they’re adding more bulletins.

Be good If 7 locally produced & presented a new bulletin for Mildura they could get more advertising revenue In the market by doing that, When WIN stopped producing local news for Mildura some businesses pulled their advertising from WIN because of the local news being axed.
Not enough revenue to make such a venture profitable
Only way would be if it was statewide or similar to what 9 tried (under SC affiliation deal) with breakaway local segments.
Mildura now gets local updates from 7, same as rest of Victoria which is a better offering than what Win News serves up in 30 minutes
