Well again the regional and remote areas suffer because of poor
management. In Darwin we're going to lose the regional seven news
we've grown accustomed to. I really enjoy Joanne Desmond reading the
news. Now she's unemployed and we have to watch Sydney news if we
watch seven. Guess what Seven executives if you read this, I'm not
watching seven anymore.

The people of Darwin stood up once before when Seven dropped their news and
had it restored.
Southern Cross are a much tougher mob than telecasters but it's worth a try.
The result of a restoration of Seven Darwin / Seven Central news will also
be the return of TEN Townsville and TEN Cairns news.
Townsville businesses voted by withdrawing advertising dollars today hitting
SCB where it hurts.
As the bottom line seems to be the only thing Australian Companies
understand then that is where the battle will be won.
The unfortunate side effect is that SCB will gleefully slash more ex
telecasters staff due to falling revenue.
The ABA needs to have a hard look at the licence conditions for regional
broadcasters - especially the satellite licences.
Maybe Mt Isa needs to consider the servicability of their ex TV station?!?
Bring on Community TV to rescue the regionals!!!!

Ummm... if your name is meant to say 'Regional', you may want to change it.

A friend was just telling me this morning that Joanne Desmond was
proposed to on air by her fellow newsreader one night...and she turned
him down LOL. Did anyone see this? I think it was a few years ago...
