It was from that affiliation disagreement in 2007 where Nine was threatening to cut WIN off so WIN started to go overboard with coverups on TODAY and removed Mornings with Kerri-Anne.
It was at 12pm Middays on WIN but it got moved to 1am in Perth and Adelaide later down the track…
They absolutely should - even if that means getting Ten in the cities to give WIN a pre-packaged segment, recorded after the news at 5. Or doing the reverse of NBN’s news windows, and have a window for a live national news segment in the middle of the otherwise pre-recorded bulletins.
The biggest problem with WIN News at 6 is that unlike Prime/Seven it isn’t followed by national news - it’s just straight into the project. You can’t tune in at 6 and get all the day’s news, you have to tune in from 5 - which no one does.
As I’ve mentioned previously, a huge weakness for WIN is just how bad the last moments of Ten News are - their absolutely terrible weather segment. At the very least the end of Ten News needs a headline recap.
Is it possible for WIN to air a statewide one hour news bulletin including local, national and international news from 5 to 6 in place of ten eyewitness news?
The Project is national news though. Just a different format.
Same headlines as 9 or 7, remove local city info (unless national interest), have less negative “generic” death news (ie: non news worthy… but someone dying rates), some positive news, and comedy…
Basically turn down some sensationalism and turn up some laughs.
Why wouldn’t WIN newsreaders just read into intos to ANS roll into Ten national packages (if they were going to have a few big state/national/international stories at 6)?
Yes, essentially every Ten station does it too - taking national Ten reports and rolling them into local bulletins.
Even the national weekend bulletin takes local reports and rolls them
Into national bulletin

[/quote]Why? The whole discussion around WIN adding state/national/international to their bulletin is because not many people are watching at 5pm. Same reason reason that WIN Tasmania is starting at 5.30 instead of 5.
I don’t mind the supers, although the backdrop is a bit too blue for me. Local imagery would be preferred.
Thinking about it more, I think if WIN were to update their news logo along with changing the effects on the word WIN to be less 9 esque I would’ve made NEWS the same colour and font as the eyewitness one as well as an orange strap underneath with Your Local News’ where TEN have First at Five.
Same differences for the Tasmanian bulletin although supers are a bit different with the addition of the time, sorry I didn’t get more pics and sorry they’re camera photos.
