Don’t believe that one is new, they have a few options they seem to cycle through.

National edition tonight?

Disappointing there was no afternoon news when I switched on at 1pm. Is the cost cutting that much at 10? I thought that today would be a good day with more eyeballs free to try their product. I know 7 (and idk about 9) had morning news.
Hopefully we still receive local editions tonight
No chance.

10 have never opted to invest in Good Friday. It’s a cost saving procedure as they need to pay staff more around the country.
The Good Friday 5.00pm bulletin has always been a national bulletin. Except for in the early 2000s (around 2001/3) when 10 broadcast the local Sydney edition to rest of the country. Someone forgot to inform the Sydney director that they were broadcasting into other markets.

Tbh, I’m not sure when 10 stopped producing local news bulletins on Christmas Day and Good Friday. My guess would be around 1994 when they axed the local weekend news bulletins.
It is a national bulletin today and all weekend hosted by Ursula

Good Friday is probably a bit of a slow news day, too.

I’ve got no problems with it.
I think the ABC is also national now on Good Friday.
Seven and Nine are a little different as people go to them (all year around) for local news. It’s part of their news brand.

ABC has had a national edition since 2019 - even been a couple times over the past few years where they’ve had a national bulletin on Easter Saturday as well - also one year where SA and NT shared a Sunday bulletin on Easter Sunday.
