WIN News

No, only Tas because it can take Ten News reports. More so before when one hour composite bulletins were being produced.

Which is why we still have that now empty orange coverup…

If you look at older caps you’ll see WIN News using the same lower thirds as Nine previously, makes it easier as Aurora pointed out when running stories from the main affiliate

I mean OTHER than Tasmania. I haven’t seen any other markets use Nine or Ten’s lower thirds anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction?

In that case, no!

All the other markets are using the ‘standard’ WIN lower thirds because they’re not making composite bulletins. Which is why I’m surprised TAS are still using the TEN ones

I guess time comes when WIN News Tasmania either closes its studios and move production to Wollongong, or just replace the lower thirds with the current one used by WIN News across other markets to match the scaled-back local bulletin which has once been a composite hour-long Tasmanian one.

Tasmania would still be using Ten-type supers because on weekends it is still a composite bulletin with Ten reports + graphics shown.

They don’t show the weekend edition of Ten Eyewitness News and their bulletin runs 5.30 to 6pm.

Underneath the WIN News bug, you can see abit of Ten’s graphic that changes from “First at Five” to the Tenplay website address:

Slight differences for WIN’s actual copy supers:

Why doesn’t WIN News Tasmania put the “Tasmania’s News” tagline on that orange strip instead of leaving it blank? :confused:

When they were still doing a composite bulletin on Weekdays, that strip had “First at 5.30” in it:

Also, can’t they just use the tagline “YOUR LOCAL NEWS” on weeknights?

That would explain it then!

Wish they would at least fill that orange bar though

We know. He was mearly pointing out what could be used to stop it being a box

Or why don’t they get rid of it altogether?

Um… because it covers the “First at Five” element of Ten’s graphics when they borrow stories.

Can’t they just get rid of the first at 5 bit though

It’s not like Ten have any other bulletins that they need to disambiguate from (Morning News, Late News, etc.). Their only news bulletin is at 5pm, so they don’t need a little subtitle; ABC, Seven and Nine just name their flagship bulletins with the plain news brand.

And I was just saying that Ten don’t really have a purpose for it as its their only bulletin.

WIN can’t get rid of it, the stories pulled from Ten are dirty feeds. WIN keeps the dirty supers uncovered (and uses Ten’s supers for local stories to match) but covers the Ten Eyewitness News logo and “first at five” mark.

IIRC, they have at times put “first at 5.30” in the orange coverup. Sounds odd when you say it, but I suppose it’s better than nothing.

I think I agree, they are the only ten news program, and they also can’t say that it’s the first news out of the channels (nine, seven etc.) because non as 4pm news, so, yeah, it is rather pointless
