Nothing to do with the staff… all to do with the rich owner who lives overseas and doesn’t have to look at the crap he inflicts on all viewers of his “network”.
It will continue on for as long as he wants it too, or until he dies.
He loves those big prominent logos, so there’s no reason why they’d go anywhere anytime soon.
Take your pick. WIN’s eyesores have had many endearing terms describing it over the years - shitstain, giant blue blob, coloured blob(s), shitstain blocks etc etc. I reckon it’s secretly loved by some still (besides Bruce of course).
I think this has been covered. It’s Dinosaur Bruce who calls all the shots and has the final say. I’m sure the staff would want the network to finally take the giant leap into the 21st century and not continually live in the 20th.
Given that it says “TEN Affiliate Network” at the bottom I’m assuming they’re comparing the number of viewers on SC10 at 6pm-6:30pm last year v. number of viewers on WIN at 6pm-6:30pm this year.
In which case, there’s no surprise there’s been growth, given that WIN News is shown at 6pm now instead of Family Feud.
I actually thought it was interesting to see how few people across RQLD, SNSW, and RVIC are watching WIN News at 6pm - given that these places have a combined population of approx. 5 million (quick guess), the figures show only 4% of potential viewers are watching WIN News… that’s pretty sad given that 6pm is typically one of the busier TV viewing times.
Why the fuck does the old fart owner of win want to own 15% of prime? He also owns 15% of Nine. I can’t understand how this bloke operates. He really does need to fuck right off.
Yes exactly, it’s just the 30 mn window 18:00 - 18:30 weekdays, and such a dodgy comparison between SC Ten for the last 6 mo of their Ten affiliation with WIN Ten’s 1st 6 mo this year.
Plus in addition to (as correctly pointed out) WIN’s local news being added to the Ten affiliate, WIN may still have been benefiting slightly from confusion right after the affiliation swap (with WIN violating the LCN standard by keeping the Nine affiliate channel numbers; I was surprised at how long that seemed to trail on for normal people).
Obviously if the comparison were instead 2016-07-01 - 2016-12-31 vs 2017-01-01 - 2017-06-30, we’d see WIN’s rating drop, especially since 9News rolled out their regional bulletins.
Somehow I doubt WIN will publicise a similar comparison for the 2nd half of last year vs 2nd half of this year (or anything showing the 2nd half of this year), as it’ll be even worse.
Bruce Gordon’s Birketu was in the NSW Supreme Court yesterday morning taking on Westpac. Another hearing is scheduled for Thursday 5th October. I can’t find any information on what this relates to.
