NBN and their odd changes

[El Diablo]

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.

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.

 

[Sweeper]

Ok then tell me what was different about what was on NBN Gold Coast and NBN Newcastle apart from the commercials.

Prove me wrong.

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:

Don't you hate how NBN Gold Coast have that stupid little watermark now?

Lucky I can get NBN Lismore as well so I don't have to look at it.

NBN doesn't go to Brisbane and thats a girls way of getting out of proving me wrong.

There's an online TV guide.

It's really going to have what was in tonights news... isn't it?

And you would be insane to run coax cable that far too.

Look do you really not believe that we get the same News???

Trust me, we do.

The Gold Coast is close to the NSW border, Brisbane is NOT close to the border.

So we get the NSW feed for NBN. We also get channel 10 from NSW as well as the ABC from NSW.

So during daylight savings we can watch the programs in NSW time.

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?

 

[~bedsy~]

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.

The Knights have a lot of fans up there in Toad land. There are some smart people up the el! ;-) ;-)

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.

Actually I grew up in Tamworth and have always supported the Knights... there are a fair few Knights supporters in Port Macquarie too.
Also my grandma when she went to Queensland... she met a guy that went for Newcastle and he said that most of the Queenslanders go for North QLD then Brisbane then Newcastle.

I pick up two different NBN's and both show the same news.

 

[Encurly]

Oswin is 100% correct about NBN's news format. National and international reports are screened at the same time everywhere, with timed slots available for local news tailored to each region. The presenters are the same everywhere, with local news, weather etc prerecorded.

The whole thing is a smoke and mirrors trick, but it's so well done that you don't notice.

 

[bob_the_knight]

well, the first 2 posts were kind of informative, but like every other topic in these forums, it has justturned into another childish debate. :x :x :x

I think NBN should definately get the damn games off FOX cause the rate really well. i kno many ppl who watch it, and it gives NBN good will, and ppl like them more.

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

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.

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

Well there is no doubt about you El Duque - you have entertainment value. :lol:

Am I to believe that your last couple of posts are a concession that low and behold you may have been, [gulp] [cough cough] wrong ? [cough]

You continue to push the www.nbntv.com.au website as the source of the 'facts' - you may have noticed that when you first enter the NBN site, you are asked to select a region - there is a very good reason for why this is the case, because each area do have some small differences in content, 99% the same in actual programming timeslots and names, but there are differences.

As for the news being the same - well, it isn't - six different local news bulletins sitting cosily in amongst the general NSW, national and international news reports.

 

[El Diablo]

Well I can tell you I pick up NBN Lismore and Gold Coast and they're exactly the same except NBN GC runs on Qld time.

Please tell me about the programme differences you speak of.

Oh and changing region does not affect the guide on their site. Try it,

El Duque, i work there. You are wrong.
