Maybe a rebrand? It is WIN after all

When considering NNSW, remember that WIN legally have to produce local content for the area from Friday (when all their broadcast agreements with SCA end). So even if they are considering setting up more comprehensive bulletins in the future, they have to produce noodle updates until those are ready to launch.

Another viewer making a similar comment recently on WIN News Tasmaniaâs page:
Surprised they bothered replying knowing full well the stain will be present for the foreseeable future.

With all of the talk of WIN taking over noodle updates remaining in NNSW, what have they been doing with areas that have no local bulletin?
I know that Mackay has âweather updatesâ, but what about Griffith, Mildura, SA and WA?
SA is meant to still be getting 2 minute updates but WIN didnât have to do the legwork to gather stories for those so they didnât have to do much. Thereâs no local news requirement so theyâre not obliged to deliver this
SA and WA news both largely went when Channel 9 in the two capital cities were both sold to NEC
I think Griffith still has the Riverina bulletin and updates, assuming nothing has changed since 2006:

As far as I know, Mackay and now NNSW are the only areas with noodle updates. WA and Griffith never got them after their bulletins were axed.Pretty sure SA doesnât get them anymore.
Would be nice to see at least weather updates in WA. Canât be that hard to produce them from The Gong?

After the axing of the Mackay bulletin, the market continued to receive full 3-4 minute âweather updatesâ with Hannah McEwan (the exact same as when the bulletin was shown), but these only lasted for around 6 months.
Since the weather updates were cancelled, the Mackay market receives absolutely no updates at all from WIN, itâs a complete relay of Ten Brisbane, just with local ads and the hideous WIN logomark.
WIN Mackay receives all updates shown on Ten Brisbane as is, including the Brisbane 7-day outlook weather updates that air during the evening, all shown in full.
Itâs truly bizarre!

Any WIN News updates on NRN yet?

Just saw one at 5.20pm, with Kate Fotheringham.
Complete with WIN News newsbreak opener with the 2006-2008 âCool Hand Lukeâ theme music.
Which I thought is ironic since NBN are the ones that really should be using it!

I recorded WINs âAll Australian Newsâ this morning. Some observations from a WIN newbie:
-
The âAll Australian Newsâ logo in the bottom right corner looked HD. Everything else, including supers and studio footage, is very SD looking
-
The intros from presenter Amy Duggan are VERY short, often only 1 or 2 sentences.
-
The subtitles are the SMALLEST Iâve seen.
As a news viewer, I didnât mind watching it, partly from it being a bit of a novelty, its interesting to see what the presenters are like across the network.

How long are the updates?
I think I saw 3 of them last nightâŚ
I would say between 30 seconds to 90 seconds (I didnât really time them).

This is amusing:
Despite this person directing their comment at the wrong channel, they do have a point about the terrible pronunciation of local areas. Iâve heard so many in recent weeks. I guess this happens when they arenât done locally and the presenters are unsure of the correct pronunciations.

OTT, but are the TDT updates not done in Tasmania?
And how else can one pronounce Bridgewater as anything but "Bridge-water " ? 
Even NBNâs Ray Dinneen has been caught out by incorrect pronunications before.
He once referred to Lake Cathie (near Port Macquarie - the second word pronounced as âCat - tieâ) as that of a girls name.
Easy one to make, but shows that all regional newsreaders should be learning town pronunciations.
Thereâs nothing more that ticks off a regional viewer than an out of towner reading THEIR local news and getting their town pronunciations wrong.

Nope, theyâre the same as the old SC10 noodle news ones.

Never have been. Like the rest of the former SC10/SCA9 â2 Minute Noodlesâ they are done from Canberra last I checked.
Iâm not sure how Chester mispronounced Bridgewater as I didnât see it. But you wouldâve thought it was one of the easiest ones to get right!! 
Believe it or not but one I still frequently hear most mainlanders get their tongues twisted on is âLauncestonâ. Most pronounce it as âLawn-ces-tonâ instead of âLon-ces-tonâ - Chester gets it right 50% of the time which is quite odd in itself. 
Others Iâve heard incorrectly pronounced lately are âLiaweneeâ pronounced correctly as âLye-a-ween-eeâ, âStrahanâ pronounced âStrornâ, âBelleriveâ pronounced âBell-riveâ not âBell-a-riveâ and âBreadalbaneâ as âBre-dole-binâ amongst others.

Iâve heard him do pretty well with Launnie. I have heard on Today once I think it was, Strahan as read - Stra-han. I do remember Hey Hey though having real trouble with Dynnyrne (pronounced - Din-urn heard as Din-a-rinee)
