The easiest way to see you are wrong is by going to http://www.nbntv.com.au/ and looking at their TV guide. The exact same news and programmes are on everywhere.
Yeah, just wait. I'm putting in coaxial cable... running it to Brisbane. I'll need a few repeater stations, just hang on a sec while i install it! :roll:El Duque said:Ok then tell me what was different about what was on NBN Gold Coast and NBN Newcastle apart from the commercials.
Prove me wrong.

You are wrong.
I live on the Gold Coast & we get NBN & there is nothing different to what the others get.
I have had a Knights supporter stay at my place & she has said it is the same.
We get the sports reporter who wears glasses & waffles on about the Knights, he is a plumpish sort of guy.

It's really going to have what was in tonights news... isn't it?El Duque said:NBN doesn't go to Brisbane and thats a girls way of getting out of proving me wrong.
There's an online TV guide.
And you would be insane to run coax cable that far too.Kaz said:Little Austin Powers said:Yeah, just wait. I'm putting in coaxial cable... running it to Brisbane. I'll need a few repeater stations, just hang on a sec while i install it! :roll:
Brisbane doesn't get NBN.

Look do you really not believe that we get the same News???
Trust me, we do.
Actually I grew up in Tamworth and have always supported the Knights... there are a fair few Knights supporters in Port Macquarie too.El Duque said:antonius said:The Knights have a lot of fans up there in Toad land. There are some smart people up the el! ;-) ;-)El Duque said:Just remember that most of NBN's viewers couldn't care less as they are not likely Newcastle fans seeing it comes all the way up to South East Queensland.
I haven't spotted any in Australia's 6th largest City. I haven't seen many in Tweed, Lismore, Grafton, Casino, Taree, Coffs Harbour etc etc either.
Newcastle really don't have many fans outside of Newcastle.

Sorry, but I'll have the definative word on this - hate to burst your bubble.
LAP is actually right here.
NBN are the inventors of a news-system called 'Windows' - not Microsoft Windows, but 'news windows'.
It means that everyone from Newcastle/CC to the Gold Coast see the same presenters, sports presenter and weatherman. They are recording all the news in Newcastle's studio up on the Hill, and are doing most of it live.
You will notice that all the news comes packaged, local content all stuck together, and then a commercial break. Local content in sport is the same.
Gary Youngberry would do six different weather reports, using the same screen, but six localised reports. The sports presenter does six different 'local' sports reports, but everyone gets the national/international sports content.
Same also with normal news.
You can blow away any misapprehension that the news is 100% live too - the end of it is live, so is the start, but the middle bits = pre-recorded.
This innovation in news broadcasting has been sold internationally, one place I know is Canada, but also other countries who are looking to cost-cut.
That is why local news reporters in Coffs and Lismore are rarely seen on Newcastle's screens - they simply aren't relevant in most cases unless there has been a major train accident or something.
So, my apologies to all those who held the arrogant stance they were right on this - sorry to burst the proverbial bubble of knowledge - LAP was on the right track.
Any more questions?

Right?
I said NBN have the same News and stuff everywhere and you disagreed.
I asked you to show me what programmes were different, and you didn't. I even showed you where to get the online TV guide.
Even if one bit of the News is slightly different that is not the point. The point is that everything is the same and most of the viewers aren't Knights fans.
Out of the 1, 849,000 potential viewers in Northern NSW only 712,000 are in the Newcastle area. (got those numbers from www.nbntv.com.a )
So back to my original statement which was

Why would NBN fork over a fair dew dollars to Fox just to please probably less than 50% of their viewers?
