And it’s weird in the first one, win is still using that old logo with the orange end still on some bulletins, but they’ve updated the main third, why don’t the change the logo as well?
And I feel them taking out the orange line and then adding the red box around “your local news”. Has made it look more like nine, the orange line kinda tied in with ten news

Kate Fotheringham is presenting on location in Tamworth. Looks like she is there to cover the Country Music Festival.

That seems even more pointless than the usual updates - wasting the whole time on ‘band wants to win award at awards ceremony’ just because they have footage?
Either just read headlines, or make it 2-3 minutes if you’re using footage.

I like that WIN have made an effort to send Kate up there and do a report on location with footage too.
Much better than just reading something from the Wollongong studio like they normally do.

Sad that they don’t even do noodle updates. Surely they could do them SA-style and partner with a local newspaper for even a once-nightly update.
Do the Mackay weather updates use the new graphics package or are they stuck with a knockoff of their previous package.
The Mackay Weather Updates ceased years ago.
Mackay receives absolutely nothing from WIN News at all - the brand doesn’t exist in that market - no news updates, no weather updates, absolutely nothing.
All they receive are the updates that come through from Ten News in Brisbane

Except the All Australian News which is completely pointless and has no relevance to those regions without WIN bulletins.

In my opinion, unless they produce a multi-region bulletin (as an example, WIN could present some stories from Mackay in a Rockhampton bulletin) where there are some contributions that could air on All Australian News, they could air something from Crawfords Classics in non-WIN News regions (eg In the morning on WIN, they could air either repeats of The Sullivans or The Flying Doctors and late at night maybe Carsons Law or Matlock Police)… This would provide SOME entertainment for those viewers (And on One/11 air the same as One/11 in the relevant capital city)
Presumably the point of the All Australian News is that it contains the stories from local markets that are of relevance outside them - which would be fine to show in a region that doesn’t get its own bulletin.
If they wanted it to just be to show you the local region’s news, they’d just run repeats of the 6pm bulletin like they used to.
I don’t know what other stories they covered in other updates - but that one seemed absolutely pointless - the content is the kind of stuff that would be filler in a 30 minute bulletin, it doesn’t make sense in a 30 second one. I gained nothing from that story other than that the presenter can wear a hat.
Just reading something from Wollongong would likely have left the viewer more informed.
House fire at Blackwater. Same story but both claiming ‘first’ on respective networks. Seven’s made it to Facebook first at 4.30pm yesterday afternoon, WIN’s at 8.00pm. WIN’s first with footage not filmed on a potato.

Ten supers(?) still being used?
Yes, still using the Ten supers. Good to see they’ve gotten rid of that blank orange strip on the bottom of the supers.

Looks like it but with “TASMANIA’S NEWS” written in the orange strip again on the right. I’ll try and get some caps later.
Footage of the BBL from Ten rather than WIN used by the Tasmanian newsroom, hopefully Bruce didn’t see that update! 
Good to see that WIN News Tasmania have updated their graphics nonetheless!
