Tas as well IIRC, ping @ando9185
Sounds interest, any more info?
You’re right, it’s now the promo loop.
But still, awful picture that you couldn’t use on a REAL channel.
Yep, is in Tas as well on 83 although I don’t see it much because it’s one of the WIN channels the Fetch box doesn’t pick up for some reason.

i just think it would give the extra channel some purpose … at the moments its like building a room for the sake of it and having absolutely no purpose
It wouldn’t cost them very much at all to make.
Just a slideshow of promo pics and sound really…
They could reallocate that bandwidth back to other channels though, even though it would be small.
It’s something different though.
I remember reading it somewhere but can’t seem to find it.
a station with no purpose is something different??? go figure
perhaps they could use it for live local sporting events, local news and maybe some WIN/Crawfords productions… perhaps they could broadcast 8 hours a day, perhaps as a block from say 3pm til 11pm, weekdays airing a mix of WIN News bulletins (NSW/VIC/TAS/QLD) to a maximum of 5 editions, compliment them with All Australian News, Alive And Cooking as well as classic/older shows such as KTV, Good Sports or Saddle Club as well as The Sullivans, The Flying Doctors and Carsons Law (obviously depending on conditions of distribution rights

I’m not sure if this is just a dream or something, but these sorts of ideas have to be profitable. I agree that anything is better than a slideshow but think about the behind-the-scenes stuff that would have to be done to produce it. If it’s not going to make them money they won’t do it. Gold, as shit as it is, makes them money. It prints money. Totally worth setting that up. A channel running Crawfords and variety/lifestyle shows that weren’t once household names and would age terribly?..

do people watch Gold???
i wouldn’t have thought so, with no published tv guide setting out a schedule…
Of course no one watches it. Companies pay WIN to air their infomercials regardless if anyone watches.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, as this would put him in beach of media ownership laws in Victoria, New South Wales (north and south) and WA.

It doesn’t as his voting power stays at the maximum 15%.

I drove past the WIN office in Lismore yesterday and noticed that they still have the Southern Cross Ten signage on the building. The WIN website states that they are still co-located with The Northern Star and 2LM/ZZZ FM. WIN doesn’t have any signage on its Coffs Harbour office. I’m not sure about the other locations in Northern NSW but I’m guessing it’s the same.
