WIN News

The Central West bulletins, the last 2 nights have had no closer and jumps straight to the WIN NEWS ending card. Any other region had this, cause the closer is the best bit of WIN NEWS

YES! I’ve just uploaded a video from Townsville tonight. It cut off before Lincoln had even finished saying goodnight. I assumed it was just an issue with the bulletin being Live and running out of time.

Also had a chuckle seeing Lincoln not only introduce the Fishing Report host by the wrong name, but thank them with the wrong name at the end too.

Also notice how the backdrop randomly changes from before to after the fishing report.

Queensland have upgraded their desk so it doesn’t look like Nine’s former. Not sure how new this is though, I just noticed it last night (I rarely watch Win News).

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but Melissa is the new sports presenter for Queensland and now features in the promos.

They re-introduced the separate sports presenter (Melissa Russell) on Monday and the desk was seen. It may have changed earlier but if so wasn’t in shot. I’ll upload a video.

I haven’t been following WIN News much for quite a while. Is Lincoln now presenting in all QLD markets?

Last I knew it was just Townsville, Wide Bay and Toowoomba.

Perhaps Cairns as well

Interesting! Looks like they may have re-shuffled their presenters and their markets.

Back in the old days of Rockhampton/Toowoomba studios, we had:
Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Rockhampton out of the Rockhampton studio, and
Wide Bay, Toowoomba and Sunshine Coast out of the Toowoomba studio.

Then when Samantha Heathwood moved it got re-shuffled to:
Cairns, Rockhampton, Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast from the Rockhampton studio, and
Townsville, Mackay and Toowoomba out of the Toowoomba studio.

The move to the Sunshine Coast kept the same arrangement, across it’s 2 studios.

Then when Mackay’s bulletin was cancelled it was re-shuffled again to:
Cairns, Rockhampton and Sunshine Coast out of 1 studio, and
Townsville, Wide Bay and Toowoomba out of the other.

Looks like they may have re-shuffled again to:
Cairns, Townsville and Sunshine Coast out of 1 studio (with Lincoln Humphries), and
Rockhampton, Wide Bay and Toowoomba out of the other (with Corinne May).

this is the nsw set

I thought that too because of the desk… it’s the old style one which was used in the 1990s

You would think they would break it up into rough geographical locations i.e. Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba & Wide Bay and then Cairns, Townsville & Rockhampton.

Also that desk they’ve replaced the old one with wouldn’t look out of place on any current 9 News bulletin, especially a national one so they effectively still look like a poor regional version of Nine.

They corrected a promo previously used that said " It’s " instead of " Its “:

Also this promo now has Twitter/Facebook on the end tag:

why not just “Canberra and surrounds”… seems a bit overly wordy.

Didn’t someone mention that QLD bulletins were to move to NSW at some point? Has this happened quietly without anyone noticing?
