yep, if it was the choice between WIN dropping or moving the bulletin and SC switching to Seven branding being announced first I would have chosen the news.

Definitely interesting that they have kept up a local weekend bulletin when Ten donāt bother doing it. Must be enough people still watching to justify it.

When WIN Tasmania axed its weekend bulletin temporarily, Southern Cross had a field day, especially when they produced a promo comparing the ratings of both weekend bulletins

Is the weekend bulletin a local affair or a composite local/national bulletin?

A post was merged into an existing topic: 2018 North Korea-United States summit
On Weekends it is composite and it airs at 5:30pm.
They donāt take the national weekend news bulletin. At 5pm they show something like Family Feud or Fishing Australia before WIN News at 5:30pm.
When the Nine/Ten switch over first occurred, they tried composite hour bulletin on weekdays 5.30pm - 6.30pm, before going to a local bulletin at 6pm and Ten News Melbourne at 5pm.
During this time the weekend bulletin was still composite half hour at 5:30pm.

WIN should just do a composite half hour at 6pm.

Makes sense ??
That 2 way box cap is terrible, they should really change the sizing of the boxes so they donāt look so zoomed out.

That $45 of $270m for the Northern Prison is going to make a huge difference!

I really donāt understand all the love for Geoff Phillipsā¦
from what Iāve seen of him, he comes across so plain and boring. I couldnāt stand to watch him for a full news bulletin.

Ray Dineen from NBN News was always much better.

Surely Bruce Roberts is better in terms of presenting then Geoff Phillips.

Surely this is a network driven event to drum up interest in the bulletin, and draw attention to the fact that they have so much experience compared to Nine Local News.
