YeahâŚand Iâm the Queen of Sheba. 
I wouldnât put it past them to do it, but Iâd dare say the following will happen:
- Unless Sky News produces a regional Victoria bulletin, or retain someone to do 2 minute noodle bulletin, that move will find WIN in breach of some kind of law.
- Anyone proposing that sale will find them out of politics if recent opinion polls are to be believed.

We need a constitutional amendment guaranteeing a well funded independent ABC.
Love the idea, but wishful thinking, given the current goons we have in Canberra.

Is that new sponsor billboard now used in SA, or are they still scraping by with the one from the old package?
And then the Arial Black hit.

Where does WIN get their synoptic and satellite images from?
I donât think it has been mentioned here, the selling of the offices has been mentioned but it looks like the WIN Television offices in orange has moved aa few kmâs down the road. Iâll try to get photos soon but the new office has updated signage for WIN and WIN NEWS. Looks quite nice actually. Will definitely miss the old office though, became an unofficial landmark driving into Orange.

I wonder if WIN News Border and North East might be coming to an end. Bruce Roberts has left us, we donât seem to have a standard weather presenter, some nights itâs been Tanya, other nights, Chris. I think we still have Amy Duggan as the sport presenter. But as I have said before, the three presenter have been removed from the Facebook and Twitter profile photos.
Someone has previously suggested they may have moved it to the NSW/ACT presenters. But I thought if they had, they wouldâve have put the presenters on the twitter and facebook pages. Looks like BNE is the only victorian news not read by bruce roberts anymore.

I wonder if WIN will eventually either screen statewide editions (Southern and Central regions merged in NSW) or just air AAN with noodle updates throughout EVERY region. From that post on this forum page and the need to consolidate to remain competitive in the current market, both could be possibilities. I imagine this deal with News Corp may be costing them a pretty penny for the second rate news service - as Paul Murray has said on his program - the premium content is available to Foxtel viewers

that is a very good possibility. it would be more cost effective for them if they only aired statewide bulletins, and then leave social media profiles for local news updates. This would also work, if they axed all local bulletins and just have one national bulletin, although I canât see this taken happily by the public.
I could see it happening, possibly screening on ONE at 6:30pm weeknights and encored on Ten at 11:30pm (in place of AAN) and again the next day on SNOW, ONE and 11
So whatâs bound to happen to WIN, is what wouldâve happened to Ten.
Thank god CBS got in!

Wild theory here, but following on from the statewide bulletin idea.
The news deal with ANC allows them to share content. What if WIN is planning on making ABC-style statewide bulletins using WIN resources for regional stories and ANC resources for metro and international? Cuts their production costs as theyâll only be making a handful of market-wide bulletins (RQLD, NNSW, SNSW, RVIC, likely separate ACT) instead of numerous local ones, and gives them access to metro and international stories.
This is all speculation at this point. No announcements have been made. This also assumes that Bruce Gordon doesnt offend another media âpartnerâ
