That is actually unheard of for WIN News...

That's because almost every WIN News bulletin is pre-recorded. I guess RTQ went live considering the threat to Rockhampton - good to see them do that

Was it actually live? I've seen WIN News Canberra cross live to a clearly prerecorded bit.

I didn't realise the even had the capacity to do such a thing. I've seen phone crosses but nothing like that.

EDIT: And that's a delightfully wooden interview.

That's either pre-recorded or fake... I'd say the latter. There's no delay whatsoever.

Yep, that's definitely pre-recorded. WIN would've sanctimoniously put a 'Live' super up if it was genuinely live.

Oh well, good on WIN for putting in the effort to try and make it look like a real cross.

[regionaltv]

I'd rather they go to the effort of investing in real OB technology.

Just be grateful they even have proper bulletins.

True that... I don't know what I'd do without a proper local news service. How expensive is OB technology though?

WIN Rockhampton could possibly have provided a live cross on last nights bulletin through QTQ who provided a live cross through their satellite equipment last night. The problem would have been with time as QTQ did their cross live cross at 6pm. The WIN Rockhampton bulletin is normally pre-recorded (Townsville is presented live) however, they can swap if a major story happens in Central QLD.

In this instance, the "cross" was pre-recorded. A "Live" super would have appeared on screen had it of been live. Most regional stations do not invest in live OB facilities because of the cost involved. I think we all need to appreciate how much it costs for a news bulletin to be produced each night. WIN is the only regional network who are deadly serious about producing local TV news in this country.

That's very true. The other networks get away with their noodle updates presented from Canberra or somewhere else, but WIN have local reporters in each area, and do present the nightly bulletin (even if it is pre-recorded elsewhere). They are by far the most committed to local regional news

I agree, and while it's nice to poke fun (they seem to be the Illawarra Mercury of Media Spy), WIN is to be commended for persisting with local news where others have turfed it.

Too right. They make some metro bulletins look very amateur.

Well it looks like Win news in Qld is going to have a state wide 2nd break!! The 2nd break of news is set to come out of rocky with each news room in qld to have a 30sec spot of news in it.

[regionaltv]

Permanently? So what will be in the first 10 or so minutes?

[Rockvegas]

I am also presuming that the recent change to the below image from "Your local news, sport & weather" to "Queensland's only statewide local news coverage" hints that is may be starting soon. Any ideas on the exact date?

WIN Canberra's been on the prowl - it looks like they've nabbed Ashlea Brown from Prime Wagga to replace Amanda Powell.
