Ten News First Content and Appearance

Absolutely another way of using the resource. Not ideal to have Brisbane broadcast from the west but if it means fully live bulletins in Sydney and Brisbane that would be good.

There’s so many better ways to save money and utilize existing resources than 10 currently have. The place is run by monkeys.

It’s a shame this is all temporary at this stage.

The Perth set looks so much better than the Melbourne set.

Going off on a tangent a bit, but how about a local WA Midday bulletin too? WA Midday → Brisbane → Perth → Late
Good way of winning back Perth viewers too, leaving Nine with the only delayed 11am/12pm bulletin in WA

The set was obviously well looked after despite the almost 3 year absence of weekday usage, still looks great!

Here’s hoping 10 reconsiders their decision of this being temporary only. After all, Lachie Reid was still able to present Sport for Perth despite it originally planned to be presented in Sydney when the bulletins began to be centralised.

Is weather from their rooftop?

In another thought… with Brisbane being the Olympic city in 2032, I am not sure how 10 continue to neglect thst city and provide delayed news being broadcast from Sydney. You really need to have a local presence to get wrapped up in the vibe.

It’s not that hard hey. I really don’t understand how it’s more economical to do local news remotely. You use Mosart you could literally have one director and make the presenters roll their own autocue. The whole technical thing sending content to another city would be avoided. Local is king in Australia

It’s so weird this has been reinstated even temporarily but also fantastic. It’ll be interesting to see if better ratings follow.

Probably not given it’s not promoted. Instead of switch on Nat… it’s should be “live and local from Perth”.

The intro should also be “Live from Perth… this is 10 New s First with …”

10 could do things so much better but the monkeys have no idea.

They should be using this VO for all fully local states.

I have a feeling most people won’t notice they are back in Perth without clear indication of it, as the state title strap on the title-card lost meaning when the bulletins were centralised.

I was honestly expecting to hear something along the lines of this, it would certainly make a difference.

Easy changes that don’t cost extra money.

But it’s ideas like this that can convince the honchos to spend the money.

They’ve gone down the consolidation path, discovered it’s killed ATV’s potential earnings at 5pm and now they need to find ways to recover.

Adelaide has gone to Sydney - they moved out of Hutt St and now don’t have any studio … but Perth does. Melbourne, Sydney do.

The question people should pivot too is what to do about Brisbane. Yes, they have a studio - but they need a control room, because of the Timezone.

That looks better than the current Melbourne set.

Can we now have proper skyline sets back too please. Melbourne’s from the Mal and Jen era looked great.

Yes, jealous of that Perth weather balcony - it’s gorgeous. Adelaide used to have similar at Hutt St but these days they seems to have nothing with the downgraded office space.

Looked through the archives and along with upgraded cameras, it seems that the lighting has also changed.
Was warmer previously. Looks better in its current configuration.

Of course you’re right… but if this is only temporary, you can see why they aren’t making a big fuss about it.
