I don’t think this is the best course of action, but no amount of keyboard warriorness will undo their decision… so you get on board and look for the positives.

1 - no on the road reporters are being retrenched.
2 - there will still be local stories in the bulletin, and even now on 2, 7 and 9, they air the same national and international reports from the same journalists in each market.
3 - I would expect Melbourne to get a new set to match most of Sydney’s - this would align all bulletins around the country with the same look without any local tweaks, providing a uniform news service.
4 - while this is further than I thought management would ever take it, the only mart step is axing the entire service… something they can’t do with the current government regulations in place.

Get on board or get out of the way. Constant negativity and constant dismissal of anything they do will not change their minds and only serve to further prove this forum can’t do anything other than cirticise.

Nobody knows (maybe expect @lexington with some inside info) how these bulletins will be done come mid next month, so how about we wait until the new format is in use before jumping to assumptions about what the bulletin will or won’t be.

Fact is, even if the new look bulletin is not presented from each state, local news will still remain, no one is saying any different. It’s not ideal, but 10 is hardly reinventing the wheel here - other countries have had formats like this in play for a while.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Simple

And I cant say much.

But, as I said in the centralisation thread that everyone missed - 9 manages to air several bulletins from the one control room, with breakout windows for each market.

Whenever Toowoomba has a local story, Cairns does too. When it’s a national / state story they air it at the same time.

Stop being so linear in your thinking. There is technology available to have one control room and multiple bulletins going out.

Yes, there can only be one live at a time - but stop thinking linear.

If 10 were running a 2 minute national noodle update 5 nights a week, you would be defending it :rofl:. You’re 10 thick and through.

But I understand what your trying to say.

For all the talk of local reporters and producers on the ground, why would it be so hard to have one presenter locally presenting the bulletin?

8887

Because of the capital involved in upgrading ageing infrastructure and employing an additional 10-20 people in the three states.

8888

Operation costs???

8889

I assume they need to do further work to have HD output as well.

8890

Then I guess you have to accept that the local audience won’t watch. Same same I guess.

The only people that’ll know (and care) that it isn’t presented in the local city is people on here and the employees.

Most people on this forum have an inflated sense of what actually matters to viewers.

Ok! (For the record, I’m more than this forum, but let’s see shall we).

What has that got to do with anything? Everyone is allowed to share their thoughts and their distate for whats transpired at Ten because of ViacomCBS.

I do have a soft spot for Ten, but you’re probably right though. Most people really don’t expect much from 10 news these days. People’s expectations aren’t that high compared to the likes of 7, 9 and the ABC.

Merging local news, most likely won’t change people’s perceptions of 10 News. Unfortunately, the general public see 10 News First as weak and under resourced news brand. Such a shame.

8895

They’re not merging local news though. They will still be seperate bulletins.

8896

Everything. The assertion is that ViacomCBS has killed 10 News. That simply is not the case.

8897

not just 10 News but also 10 Sport.

8898

How are the separate? Is Adelaide and Brisbane prerecorded?

Then explain how Sandra and Jennifer can present multiple bulletins at the same time?

I have lost the breath repeating myself. Go read my previous comments, or wait for the first night.

You obviously don’t know the answer then.
