Dear, oh dear. Whatever is happening at 10?
Something doesnât seem right.
Montage of the Brisbane problems last night.
What was it like tonight?
Perth News Updates yesterday and today have been a little weird as it doesnât show Narelda on screen at the News desk, and instead has a voiceover of her and vision of the headlines playing in the background.
Melbourne news updates have also been voiceovers so far this week.
A colleagueâs wife works at 10 Sydney and he said major IT issues and systems are down and she has been given 2 days off work until systems are back online. Not sure if this is related to news but seems so.
Wait wait wait wait.
You have a source at 10, and you donât tell us or use it to break any juicy information, and then you finally reveal your contact with⌠an IT error?
No source. Do not know my colleagues wife. Never spoken of Channel 10 until today as we are on a work trip away. It was just an interesting conversation that I only remembered once I came on here.
Fair.
But also how dare you.
Really wish 10 would expand their news service to more than just one hour a day.
Iâm still yet to understand the smart economics in running 6 studios, 6 newsrooms, a national news division - national, local, international crews, journos, producers - all to produce just one bulletin a day. Every other news division in the world amortizes costs by producing multiple hours of news a day - multiple bulletins.
Itâs well known once you have all the infrastructure in place, adding additional bulletins only ads incremental costs.
It seems the best place to launch would be 6 or 7am as a lead in to Studio 10.
5 studios, 5 newsrooms and 2 bureaus.
Canberra and�
Isnât it Gold Coast too?
doesnât Canberra have a newsroom and studio?
what defines a studio and newsroom V bureau?
So does the Gold Coast. A bureau is an office with minimal staff, usually in a non license area in my opinion.
The current status for Canberra is a bureau.

News Bureau
The studio is a shoebox with a green screen and a camera. Essentially the same as the Gold Coast.
Got it, thanks.
Itâs still hard to understand the economics behind a newsroom and studio producing only one hour of news a day - especially airing only locally
Iâm certain a news at 6-830am would double the time slot ratings
Iâm sure it would, but now youâre talking about 10 studio crews if youâre suggesting local news.
