History
As well as its flagship nightly bulletin, WIN Television has, in the past, produced a number public affairs programmes at its original Wollongong station, WIN-4, such as community affairs program Roving Eye, and Sunday Review, a weekly review of international, national and local stories.[3] On August 18, 2006 WIN Television announced that Griffith's locally produced news bulletin would be axed and merged with Wagga Wagga's half-hour bulletin.[4][5] The decision was criticised by the local council and chamber of commerce, who stated that the isolation of the area increased the need for local content and information.[6] The amalgamated Wagga Wagga bulletin is presetented and produced from Wollongong. On January 30, 2006 the network's Tasmanian news bulletins were moved from separate local and national bulletins to a single, half-hour bulletin featuring local, national and international news. This was reported by The Hobart Mercury as being due to the previous arrangement's poor ratings. WIN's main competitor in the area, Southern Cross Nightly News, had, at the time, a 64.9% share of the 6.00pm news audience during the 2005 survey period.[7]
