[edit]WIN News is the network's local news service. Twenty bulletins are presented from studios in Wollongong, Canberra, Ballarat, Mount Gambier and Rockhampton, in addition to National Nine News bulletins presented and produced from the network's metropolitan stations, STW in Perth, Western Australia and NWS in Adelaide.[4] Although in most areas it is the only local news bulletin, in some markets it may compete with Prime News, Seven Local News, GWN News, or Southern Cross Nightly News.
WIN has produced independent news reports and bulletins since 1962 for its original Wollongong station. As well as the flagship nightly bulletin, WIN Television has in the past produced current affairs programming including community affairs program Roving Eye, and Sunday Review, a weekly review of international, national and local stories.[1]
Schedule
[edit]In regional Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and Queensland, WIN's schedule almost directly emulates that of the Nine Network. WIN News is shown at various times on a region-by region basis - at 6.00pm in regional Queensland, and 6.30pm in New South Wales, Canberra, Tasmania, and Victoria.
Since October, 2007 the network's stations in regional South Australia have begun to move towards primarily Seven Network programming. WIN News is shown at 6.xxpm following Seven News Adelaide. Previously, WIN Television in South Australia followed a predominantly Nine Network-based schedule.
In Western Australia, WIN is affiliated to both Network Ten and the Nine Network. Consequently, WIN WA's schedule offers a combination of both network's programming, with a number of otherwise live programs shown on delay. WIN News Western Australia is shown at 5.30pm, in direct competition with GWN News.
