10 Darwin has always had some kind of local presentation. I’m surprised the team behind it hasn’t been cut honestly. Scroll further up in the thread. ---

How is 10 unable to put something together but one of their regional stations is able to do something itself. Baffles me sometimes. Good job 10 Darwin. ---

Is this the first time 10 Darwin has had breakaway programs and dropping news plus? Or is that a relay of 10 Brisbane, which is running to the same schedule? ---

10 Darwin is relaying the Brisbane schedule for this Sunday. When The Project was still in the schedule, 10 Darwin would have breakaway programming for Socceroos and Matildas matches. ---

If there was any practical media regulation in this country, the [BSA Section 73A](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/bsa1992214/s73a.html) is extremely clear, WIN aren’t the person that were in control of the license at the point it was allocated, and therefore they couldn’t be sold Nine’s share without breaching the 1 channel per market rule. I hold no hope that anyone with the power to enforce that will notice or care, with the only real hope that Nine just forget to do anything. But yeah, if WIN do end up getting it shut down, it’ll be good to know that they could have been stopped. ---

Considering Nine Darwin probably only generates $100-200k profit a year based on the sale price despite cutting the previous news bulletin out twice, DDT must be running at a loss like CDT and many others. Might just be what the operation needs to build a little bid of stability back and secure the local news updates for at least a few years down the track. But it’ll be up to the joint owners Seven and WIN as to if they want to continue spending good money after bad. ---
