Because the bulletin (and channel) was branded as Southern Cross News at the time, rather than carrying their affiliate network branding.

Because Ten had switched to 5.00 news in Melbourne, Southern Cross maintained its news in the 6-7.00 hour and ran alternative programming between 5-6.00.
SCN Eyewitness News was a statewide “national news” bulletin that ran for 30 minutes. Bendigo and Gippsland markets got their local Southern Cross news in the other half hour but other markets carried programming on relay from Ten.

They would have had to re-sync the individual feeds since only certain regions received local news, so likely stuck on the ident until it was ready to go.

Similar thing happened at CTC. They tried to move the locally produced news hour to 5pm. It lasted about 4 weeks, before the viewer complaints won out. Neighbours and Simpsons reruns ran between 5-6 after that for years. Though I think an awful US dating show called Studs was shown alongside Neighbours in the very early years. Basically just moved the network programs and hour earlier for a swapsie.

Would be cool to do one with all the different on air idents for CTC over the years

Is this real? Looks like the crackerjack graphics department at SC10 has everything under control

I know SCA is short on cash but surely a pair of glasses wouldn’t be too difficult
It might affect their already record low share price!
