Did they build studios at Ballarat? Was anything produced there in the past?

Only commercials, news updates, football score and weather reports. I think one year they did significant portions of the good Friday appeal as local opt-outs.
Because of its proximity to the Ballarat airport, the former studios are now used by a Singaporean company as a flying school for Chinese students.

Prime’s share price has gone up, so Seven may wait until it goes down again?

He’s seen Ten slip out of his hands, so what’s Bruce up to now? He’s setting up camp with Prime Media Group, buying out Seven’s 15 per cent share.

So now, old man Bruce has his finger up 15% of Nine Entertainment Co. and Prime Media Group each, in addition to owning WIN Corp in full.
On another note, perhaps this was what Prime and Seven were talking about, Seven’s intent to sell its shares in PMG? Though who would’ve known that old man Bruce would’ve attacked those shares like a lioness on the hunt.

Bruce: “As a new major shareholder, I’ve got a couple of things I’m thinking might improve Prime7. Firstly, what do we think of the current watermark? Seems a bit subtle to me.” 
I seems that Seven isn’t interested in Prime at least at the current share price.

I assumed he still owns a stake in Nine so he can know what the competition are up to, and maybe suggest things that are dubious for his competition, but what Seven West Media shares are too pricey for him? (50% more than Prime, both way less than Nine Entertainment.)
The old man does realise he won’t be allowed to buy Prime7/GWN7 & still own WIN, right?
Meanwhile someone at ACMA has to again update that cross-ownership spiders web of a diagram…

Just adopt the ITV model and name everything Ten North West Victoria for example, and have Tasmania branded as WIN.

Don’t mock him. Mediaspy was mocking Bruce in the Mocks thread just a week before the solid blue map was introduced, therefore any further jokes about him and Prime is doomed.

Maybe he is hoping that an amalgamation of Prime and Seven may take place or maybe he will try and align Prime with Ten, in the hope he can pair WIN up with Seven

From the Seven annual general meeting:
Seven are expecting a larger payment from Prime.

And/or SC7 (probably 7West Media demanding more money for the same content in HD)
I think Southern Cross will be sweating over their Tasmanian affiliation after the way they upstaged Seven by bending over to Nine.
Seven’s market-leading content is worth more than the other two.
