I’m in Sydney at the moment and I’ve noticed that the WIN Info Channel (if you can call it that) on Channel 83 from Knights Hill is showing just grey, white and blue on screen with no audio. Is this happening anywhere else?

Same in Canberra. More entertaining than watching grass grow at least.

The audience is growing as the word spreads.

The regional ratings for that channel are going to go through the roof, RegionalTAM won’t know what to do when they see the figures!

Roughly yes. But NBN/Nine hasn’t sponsored the Jets in a while IMHO. SCA became the media partner last year, using the (S)Hit FM and SC10 stations. Either WIN inherited part of SCA’s contract, or (unlikely) it is part of Ten’s deal with the FFA.

WIN’s attempt at trying to rectify Ten’s ordinary weekend scheduling and audience shares?

I can’t see a thirty year old television series being a smash hit.

This Shaka Zulu shit has Bruce’s fingerprints all over it. What makes them think dusting off this 30 year old relic is going to win them viewers?

Prime has the right idea with relevant, locally-produced news specials as an alternative to affiliate programming. Bruce must think his viewers are stupid and will just lap up anything he throws at them.

Wait a minute. We’re looking at this all wrong. Of course it’s not going to rate - that’s the point! We’ve seen this before!
Welcome to WIN vs TEN.

Serious question: Did the mini-series “Shaka Zulu” air on Australian TV around the time it was first made in the 1980s and if so, which network?
I personally don’t know how this will help them in the ratings either but hey, that’s WIN/Bruce Gordon for you!

Such a stellar hit with veteran Nicolas Cage (Lord of War, National Treasure) would have been ruined with on-screen distractions anyway.

Pretty sure it was Nine
