Seven & Ten News (SCA)

…yeah, I don’t think that is going to happen. Good idea though.

BREAKING: Tim Hatfield has just announced tomorrow is his last night anchoring Southern Cross News SA. His time at as chief of staff and anchor has seen the bulletin grow massively across the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill. Living in the region it is hard to find someone who doesn’t know his name or tell me they do n’t watch the bulletin which still is the only regional news bulletin in SA. Tim has lead SC News SA on social media growing its reach from 1000 followers to well over 15,000. Whoever fills his spot has big shoes to fill.

Always good to have people from the industry posting here and best of luck for whatever is next, Tim.

Hopefully he’s still browsing the forums, good luck with the future Tim, you’ve made quite a difference and really helped bring regional news to the forefront and show that the region doesn’t have to be big to have a level of quality.

Isn’t Chester the guy I assume isn’t a 12 year old reading the noodle updates? If so, wowsers!

So perfect, from the quaint little theme tune to Chester’s presentation to the fact that they didn’t even bother to get better vision of the newsagency cashier properly picking up a receipt to the excitement in Chester’s voice as he declares that Port Lincoln is bucking the weather trend. It’s a wild ride for a mere minute.

I love everything about this and now want to live in regional SA.
