STW9 has 3 studios. Although I can't see them having 2 studio crew's rostered on at 6pm to do 2 live bulletins simultaneously. However I also can't see them pre-recording WIN News either, but I suppose it's possible.

I'd put money on them moving WIN News to 5:30pm, so they can use the same studio and crew. They'd just have to have an early off air time of at least 5:56 to allow for turn-around time for NNN.

If that were to happen, I can’t see it going down well with their studio crew!

yeh, i hope they use a new key when they move over the win generic key is gross, id like to see them use the enterprise nine key but that belongs to pbl media. it would be great if they can get a person who has worked in the states or europe to be the new stw news editor, bring some originality to the bulletin

Bringing anything to the bulletin would be good

Up against GWN News? That would be commercial suicide

Like they're doing any better up against TVW News anyway!

Hahah, that OTS of the train is so foreign to us. I don't think any passanger train on this side of Australia looks like that.

Thanks for the caps cartman

Yes, I was going to comment on that myself!

That train looks distinctively like a Sydney to Wollongong Tangara to me! In fact, if you squint hard enough, you can almost make out the "Wollongong" sign on the station platform.

How did you add in that watermark?

I use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, but I think all of the admin/mods use different software for adding the AM watermark to videos.

I don't know, it's the first time I've noticed it. I'd assume it's only been since WIN's move from NEW10 to STW9 because unlike Ten, Nine actually have studio facilities that WIN can use.

You're probably right. I've notice a shit load more STW full-screen graphics during Perth-based reports now.

I wonder why there is a different WIN logo on the weather?

I just noticed that. WIN have replaced the super logo with some plain blue one. The weather one is what they all looked like. In this picture you can just see the original one underneath. Good eyes, Moe.

Bodge? It's a masterpiece in comparison to N9N Adelaide.

More big changes for WIN WA;

As of Monday August 27th, Ten News will be dropped, N9N Perth will be added and WIN News will compete directly with GWN News. Proof can be seen on Yahoo!7's TV guide for regional WA.

5.00 Ten News
6.00 WIN News
6.30 A Current Affair

As of next Monday;
5.00 The Brady Bunch
5.30 WIN News
6.00 National Nine News (Perth)

Why in the world would they ditch Ten News in favour of the low rating STW News now?

This was always bound to happen because WIN owns STW, but surely they have the brains to see that they have more chance with Ten News over STW News at the moment

Yep, weird timing indeed. What worries me is it looks like WIN News will still come from Wollongong. So there will be 2 news bulletins produced from the same building but filmed at 2 different studios on the opposite sides of the country. None of it makes sense.

[Boner]

It will all make sense when WIN establishes it's own national news service and ditches the increasingly sub standard N9N.
