\n\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAs a capital city, Darwin deserves a local television news service on a commercial channel,” says CEO Andrew Lancaster.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
WIN Network will restore a full 30-minute WIN News bulletin airing at 5.30pm weekdays later this year.<\/p>\n
WIN acquired Nine Darwin in May, which had previously broadcast a locally-produced bulletin until a year earlier.<\/p>\n
Andrew Lancaster, CEO, WIN Network, said \u201cAs a capital city, Darwin deserves a local television news service on a commercial channel which reflects its people, its priorities and its community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are recruiting journalists<\/a> and camera operators<\/a> who will live and work in Darwin, with their feet on the street, building relationships and understanding the stories that matter most to the city and surrounds.<\/p>\n \u201cWIN has a longstanding commitment to local news across regional Australia. Bringing local news back to Nine Darwin builds on that commitment and represents a long-term investment in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n WIN Darwin Manager Steven Shervill said, \u201cWIN already sponsors 48 events and organisations in Darwin, supporting the people who help our city thrive.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough those partnerships, we see the energy, generosity and pride that make Darwin special. Bringing local news back gives us another way to contribute, highlighting local achievements, exploring challenges and giving community voices a wider platform.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to extend our support for Darwin and give viewers a local bulletin they can make part of their weekday routine.\u201d<\/p>\n The bulletin is due to commence later this year with Tipping Point moving to 4.30pm weekdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cAs a capital city, Darwin deserves a local television news service on a commercial channel,” says CEO Andrew…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":627848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-627847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/627848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
