I think win news by getting a reporter in regions like albury and wagga is so when people whinge about statewide editions. Win News will then say without state edition they wouldn’t be able to resume coverage in those areas like albury and wagga. Well thats just my theory

Rubbish. You’ll still get local stories, but there will be fewer of them that is certain.

so you’re saying what @Leo_Puglisi6 said a well-repsected journalist , rubbish???

As previously stated, to meet their television licence agreements, they need to cater for local content that focuses on that market or region. They won’t be showing NSWs reports into Victoria.

Yes, complete nonsense. There will still be a reporter based in Ballarat, Bendigo, Shep, Traralgon and reinstated in Albury reporting on stories local to those towns and regions but there will be fewer. Watch your local Ballarat bulletin tomorrow and see how many stories are genuinely local to western Victoria, then remove 2/3 of them to get an idea of what you’ll see post 1st July with stories from other regions in the mix.

well I would rather believe @Leo_Puglisi6 since he’s a journalist :smiley:

Dude, we know what the outcome is going to be. Maybe you’ve misinterpreted the point Puggo was trying to make?

That’s your prerogative, but please don’t be shocked when you continue to see local stories on WIN News. Why not sack everyone if they have zero intention of producing any local news stories?

its not mine. it is what leo said

Jason, if there’s going to be “a lot more generic stories”, what do you think will be shown outside of them? Local stories maybe?

You’re obviously misinterpreting this. Leo is right or wrong depending how you interpret what he is saying. WIN News Ballarat, a local news service, won’t be produced any more. That is what he means by saying “there will be no more local news”. Leo understands that the local stories will be part of a new statewide bulletin.

I don’t believe it.

If there was going to be no local news stories then WIN should’ve just axed the bulletins rather than having a half hour of nothing.

For some reason tonight’s fake throw to weather (made to look like its happening in real time in the same studio) looked more fake than usual, there was just a bit too big a pause :grinning:

Obviously one of their ways to meet the new 50% revenue deal with Nine. It shows how desperate the affiliates don’t wanna associate with 10.

Sad day for journalism once again. It seems that the only positive we’ve seen since pre-covid is the return of the Nine News Darwin.

It seems WIN are going to cover Nine News Local’s footprint with skeleton resources?

Markets under 500,000 - which is many. It’s hard to make the economics make sense.

I’d love to see live 7 Tasmania or 7 Gold Coast or NBN quality news for QLD, VIC, SNSW etc - but win won’t use this as an opportunity to evolve the product at all. It will be the incredibly stale and static format from the 90s still
