Classic Ten.  Cutting the evening news back to hour then using the costs for those to make the national late news.  Putting it online first, maybe will give it a consistent time since Australian networks seem to have a sliding time slot for stuff.  If you look at the times of when "The Latest" or "Nine News Late" is on you'll see what I mean.  Also still having Brisbane not done from ... Brisbane.

But also no one really cares, it’s got a tiny audience and zero presence online. It just isn’t a player in the Australia news market. If you want commercial trash, there’s Seven and Nine. If you want real news, there’s the ABC and SBS. 

Ten’s late news of first Sandra and then Hamish was their single unique offering and a way to bring in a younger audience. They killed that for the oldies at 5pm. 

The big loss was the ABC cheapening and then axing Lateline, which the BBC seems to be about starting for NewsNight.
