Good to see Amy Duggan presenting the Canberra bulletin, makes sense having someone from Canberra presenting the Canberra news.
Do we know if WIN officially announced her (or someone else) as the new presenter of the Canberra/Illawarra bulletins yet?
Sounds like itâs just a revolving door of presenters tbh!
Sponsored Update:
I was assuming that Bruce Roberts would present Canberra/Illawarra permanently. Towards the end of last year he was doing it regularly, especially on Thursday/Friday every week.
I like Bruce Roberts but Amy Duggan is better known in the Canberra community. But yeah I wonder if Bruce will make an appearance later in the week
Do we know if the Canberra bulletin is still live? I just assumed with the major newsroom closures (last year?) that all bulletins would be prerecorded
No itâs been a pre-recorded bulletin from Wollongong since they shut down the Canberra studio way back in 2013
Correct me if Iâm wrong on this but I was under the impression that WIN News Canberra was initially produced live when production was moved to Wollongong, resulting in the previously live Illawarra edition becoming pre-recorded.
Yep, going by this article from 2013âŚ
Yeah youâre right, I thought they pre-recorded the Canberra bulletin. I think they do pre-record it now but I canât find a source for that. Feel free to correct me. Seems odd that the Wollongong studio would pre-record their own bulletin so that they can do the Canberra one live. Itâs a shame they canât set up a little studio at Fyshwick and do the news there
I donât get win
They use local backdrops for opens but generic for the news
And then generic open for updates and local backdrop
And gosh. This still looks like 9 news
Would be so nice for them to work with 10 and have the package based on 10âs look and localized for each win area
None of these bulletins are produced live or even recorded âas liveâ anymore. The shitty way these WIN News bulletins are produced and pieced together is painfully evident when you sit through an entire bulletin. Editing mistakes and cueing errors are common, the presenters canât give an authentic reaction to stories because they just read the intros and donât see the report go to air, and the throws to the weather, done in another studio at a different time, are clearly fake and awkwardly scripted.
This clanger happened during Mondayâs bulletin.
The studio throws with a 3 second delay in between.
Just saw a WIN News update air in Townsville featuring Tanya Dendrinos (spelling?)
The update was a local Townsville one with local stories, but Tanya accidentally said âToowoombaâ on one of the stories mentioned
Youâd think with a mistake like that they could edit it or record it again.
With the sheer volume of content WIN produce daily out of one facility and with the size of the team they have I very much doubt they check all that much before clearing it to air.
Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again: Someone who deserves to be rewarded with a regular presenting position at WIN News before one of the metro networks picks her up.
Unfortunately, accidentally saying âToowoombaâ instead of âTownsvilleâ is probably a minor error compared to some of the major editing fails and outtakes which have made it to air in recent times!
Bruce Roberts back in Victoria, Tanya Dendrinos on sport.
