Heaven help us on Monday when Queenslanders are expected to receive no live coverage if not for the entire bulletin, then at least a significant chunk of it.

Well technically if 10 do it right, Qld could get one hour live in their own state. Theyâd only get the first half hour pre recorded. But who knows with those idiots at 10.

Indeed, itâs also going to be rather interesting to see how 10 News First handles their coverage of any major breaking news stories which might happen in South East Queensland during the next six months.
Dare I ask the question, how would 10 News First do live coverage of something like the 2016 Dreamworld tragedy (which those with long news memories will recall, happened during the time of year NSW & QLD are on separate timezones) if they needed to under this new format?

Thatâs the biggest over reaction Iâve ever read on this site. Kudos.
Based on the lambasting in the last few posts, Iâll let you all just wait for Mondayâs QLD bulletin to see what theyâre going to do.

Thought youâd say that.
When the cops sweep through my local venue in early November and ask why Iâm not adhering to NSW COVID rules by remaining seated, do you think the excuse âI heard Iâm now permitted to stand during a report on restrictions being lifted on Ten Newsâ is going to wash?

If youâre dumb enough to use that as an excuse, you deserve the fine.

You donât have to encourage people not to watch it. They arenât anyway. Spend five minutes on some local area Facebook groups. All people care about is what is happening in their backyard. Sorry it isnât up to your standards but viewers seem to like it on every other channel.

Whatâs the point of Tenâs news service if viewers canât rely on the veracity of the information they disseminate?
If they broadcast a report in NSW with wording that includes âour stateâ and state government policy surrounding COVID rules, nobody should trust the information being provided by Ten because it might apply to another state the casual viewer is supposed to know Tenâs 5pm bulletin is randomly being shown in. Itâs shoddy. That Queensland targeted report should never have aired in NSW. Ten should pull the plug on state based bulletins now if every report they now broadcast needs viewers to assume there are caveats attached.

Probably canât post the exact number here until Monday due to Media Spyâs agreement with OzTam, but going by TV Tonight the 5pm portion of 10 News First rated incredibly dire in Sydney last night - actually a few thousand less in Sydney than Brisbane! 
Of course, I wholeheartedly agree with this point (and the others youâve made):

The bulletin was so Qld centric no wonder no one wanted to watch. Fancy having live crosses to Brisbane lions games during a local bulletin in Sydney. Itâs a disaster.

Then donât cover it. Plenty of other Sydney news that could be covered. The bulletin is top Brisbane centric. Much more than it ever was prior to this new shit system.
What an absolute load of crap, given that you are referring to one reference in one story in one bulletin. If it was a regular thing, sure⌠but this wasnât that and your complete overreaction is completely uncalled for.
Lol! There were 4 or 5 Brisbane stories in 90 minutes.

This kind of thing happened when stories from interstate aired before they amalgamated their newsrooms⌠weâve also seen this kind of thing happen in national bulletins on all 4 stationsâŚ
Mistakes were made in bulletins before the changes happened, itâs not fair to expect they wonât happen after, or even as a result of people getting used to the changes.
Adding to @lexingtonâs point, COVID information changes so rapidly that a single individual basing their entire knowledge of the rules that apply to them off that one news story is nonsensical. Iâd also have a hard time believing that someone would get fined if they did say they misunderstood a news service.
I think youâre all making a mountain out of an anthill, and getting fired up simply because others disagree.
