Weather is definitely live to both markets. Not a great way to end the bulletin.

Yeah I would 
I was thinking that she would be replaced by Hugh (or someone) on 5pm if it happened though, so she wouldnât be working any extra hours

Whose concerns.

I suppose the bigger concern is more what it does to the Sydney bulletin to have to accommodate the Brisbane opt-outs. Writing off Brisbane is one thing, but Melbourneâs bulletin got a lot better once it returned to being fully local, and I think got a bit of a boost in ratings afterwards, though Adelaideâs never seemed to recover (and now we donât get that data at all).

The concerns of the Daily Mail when they republish half of the posts in this thread.

Ursula is a great presenter, but the bulletin wonât rate because it:
- isnât local (no PoD to the others)
- isnât live
- doesnât have HYBPA/ Cheap Seats/ Gogglebox as the lead-in
- doesnât have a big name (like Sandra) to draw people over to 10

Exactly, but this is 10 who think their USP is putting the bulletin on 10 Play thirty minutes before broadcast so

Yes to all above but especially live and local. Donât bother if they donât do that. No point of difference.

Wonât be promoted except in the odd promo with other bulletins

Highly unlikely to have a regular fixed start time

Will probably come from the Adelaide Green Screen studio

Adelaide news for Wednesday 10th was presented by Alan Murrell. Presumably from Adelaide not Sydney?
If theyâre splitting their time between a shoebox studio in Sydney and a shoebox studio in Adelaide they might as well just keep it in Adelaide.

Sydney really just accommodates Kate being based there now, no? As well as having a presenting position for her when returning from Maternity leave.
I guess they thought the trade-off from it being read out of Sydney was worth it to have Kate return to the bulletin as a local and familiar face.

yeah, so odd. Like sorry Kate the Adelaide job in in Adelaide? Youâre there often enough to visit you beach house so make the switch or free it up!
I meant that in a way in which they wanted Kate to present the bulletin, and as such the network accommodated her being now based in Sydney because it was possible.
They absolutely couldâve gone with someone else based there and made it somewhat easier for them to do it all out of Adelaide (presentation at least) but they clearly wanted her.

They started with Kate because sheâs the most recognisable Adelaide personality they have, so they thought she could of been a big drawcard to the bulletin.
If 10 had more money, the should of gone and get Jess Adamson to read the bulletin.

Funnily enough with the set up theyâve got now in Adelaide since they left Hutt St - only one tiny presentation area (with a fixed camera?) - the Sydney/Adelaide presentation is almost better - at least it allows interaction between presenters.

If possible, they could try to re-arrange space to fit a news set. They did the same with Hutt St (Was built when news was from Melbourne in the 2000s, so had to create space for a studio).
Apparently theyâve done the sport preview from the newsroom (where they do daytime updates), so they could just do sport from there.
