At least it will be live. Double shift for Sandra then?

Shes missing the point. The boycott threats would be about supporting the people who have been let go, not so much about the bulletin itself.

Yeah but boycotting isnāt going to reverse the decision. If even fewer people watch, there is a risk that 10 will cut even further and just produce a national bulletin. Thereās still some local output with this change, providing local jobs, which is what Lee is referring to.

Yeah true but people are loyal. If Peter Overton or Hitch was all of a sudden dumped on Nine you can guarantee theyād loose lots of viewers.

reports the other day indicated that a new presenter, based in Sydney, will read the Perth bulletin.
Sandra to read for Sydney and Brisbane

So itāll be live into Sydney and Brisbane with stories from both cities? I assume the same for Melbourne and Adelaide.

I donāt think theyāve clarified that, yet. Media reports have been conflicting

To lessen the blow, they should bring back Narelda on the weekday bulletin and have a new weekend presenter.

Honestly I doubt 10 have worked out how this will all work yet.
So we are all speculating.

No one knows. We are all speculating
I donāt disagree with you. As I have said, weāre losing our team up here and our anchor is significantly better than the alternatives on 7,9 and the ABC. Iām disappointed too. Actually I think 10 would be surprised at the level of anger. But itās not going to change anytime soon.
If itās not Sandra, then it will be Narelda. They wouldnāt take Hugh or Lachlan off the road (Lachlan said on S10 today that he did have a meeting today though).
Seems that way.

Great to know it will be live in PER
Which has to mean itās a custom PER bulletin.
Adelaide will be impossible to be live at any point due to the time difference
Sort of off topic, but wasnāt the Perth Bulletin read in Sydney in the past? Iām sure of it?

The Perth bulletin was moved to Sydney in 2000 and then in 2008 moved back to Dianella, Perth.

Cheers 
Jesus.
Their Perth station mustāve always been struggling with ROI considering news production moved in 2000 - not something you see often back then. Especially in a capital city.

Perth & Adelaide bulletins were moved to Sydney and Melbourne based presentation respectively in 2000 due to equipment costs with the looming switch-on of Digital TV. Sport / Weather were always presented out of the local newsrooms (unlike this time around). Both bulletins were live (ATV had a separate, albeit very cramped studio for the Adelaide bulletin).
AFL rights ended up bringing this equipment to both cities anyway - Perth got local news back in 2008, Adelaide got it back with the ill-fated news revolution a couple years later.
It makes me feel old that thereās people on this forum that are too young to remember when any of this was discussed on Mediaspy back in the day

Despite being based from Sydney in my opinion it was a very decently produced product especially during the Tim and Charmaine era.
Im intrigued to see how it will be now especially with all the attention around it

It also rated very well throughout the time it was presented out of Sydney (Always low-mid 100kās - either on par with or beating Nine and well above anything in the timeslot), the change didnāt really impact the ratings of the bulletin at all - neither did the switch back to local presentation.
The Perth bulletin also got broadcast statewide via WIN throughout this period (as opposed to Nine News Perth).
