In 2-3 hours more happens than 1 hour or 30 minutes where basically nothing changes and if it does it takes that amount of time for the story to make its way to the Newsroom.
With Chris Bath at the helm I don’t see this ever happening. But we all need to remember that this “National” weekend bulletin isn’t new, its been going on for quite some time since 1994 or 95? . I still remember Bill Woods presenting them from the small ‘L’ looking shaped national set.
Perth had a seperate live weekend bulletin from the east when it was half hour news and Sports Tonight.
Sunday -
Scott Tweedie is presenting weather from South Bank in Brisbane tonight.
Had a tough start to life in metro with nowhere bleaker to work in than the four person 4BC newsroom with Scott ‘I thought retired in the 80’s’ McKinlay as news director.
Not running local metro bulletins on the weekend is ridiculous wherever you are.
No @Nicholas. Brisbane doesn’t need a person who can’t deliver a clear news script.
And 10 has disgraced themselves since then.
Of course it’s not new. Local weekend news was axed in 1994, but made a brief return in 2011 for 6 months at 6pm. Also, Melbourne and Adelaide had local editions on Saturdays during the AFL season, from 2006-2010.
Neither less, weekend editions may return one day. It’s a financial business decision. Next year the national weekend bulletin will be a better product, with Chris Bath presenting, extra resources added around the country, and an updated WA edition. The network is moving in the right direction.
Mediaspy: TEN NEEDS LOCAL WEEKEND NEWS.
Also Mediaspy: TEN NEEDS TO INVEST IN THEIR 5PM WEEKDAY BULLETINS FIRST.
sigh.
lots of people have diff opinions, it’s fine dude
When I originally brought this up about local weekend news, I was only mocking a lineup.
I don’t actually intend 10 to start this up any time soon, and as you pointed out, investing in additional resources for their 5PM news and further expansion is much more important right now.
What are recourses? What is this term?
have both, but not right now.

Good on her. She was a great talent in Brisbane & the Gold Coast, lovely person too.
She did a great job last night. 
Did she ever do any presenting in Brisbane or the Gold Coast?
