  • WIN to launch Perth's ACA tonight

    October 20 2008 2:12pm (UTC+8)  -  Article by Kevin

    WIN Corporation Managing Director David Butorac today announced that Channel Nine Perth will launch Perth's local A Current Affair tonight.

    Channel Nine Adelaide will follow, also launching their local edition in the near future.

    WIN says they are dedicated to delivering high quality local current affair programs that will meet viewer needs in both the Adelaide and Perth markets. The initiative leverages from WIN's extensive experience in local production and significant capital investment.

    "We are very proud to be investing in the launch of local versions of A Current Affair. This underlines the significant commitment WIN Corporation has to the growth of services in all of its group and related companies", Mr Butorac said.

    Two dedicated teams of journalists, producers and camera-operators have been hand-picked and will work closely with the national A Current Affair team to provide extensive coverage on the stories specific to Perth and Adelaide combined with national stories on the people and issues that affect all Australians.

    Louise Momber will tonight present the "fresh alternative to current affairs" alongside newly appointed Executive Producer Juliet Wills, Special Investigators Michael Southwell and Peter Van Onselen, and journalist Jolleh Abshar.

    In Adelaide, Channel Nine has appointed Kate Collins as host, Lesley Johns as Executive Producer; Senior Reporter Chris Kenny and camera-operator, Brenton Dean, to join their team of skilled journalists, editors and studio-crew.

    A Current Affair will follow Nine's weekday national news service at 6.30pm, providing Adelaide and Perth viewers with "an hour of locally produced news and current affairs" and "90 minutes for WIN's regional Western Australia viewers, who also receive the local and WIN produced WIN News".

    Oh great,
    Another fine, bias current affairs program that manipulates its stories to show one side of the story. These "news reports" bring disgrace to the occupation of journalism.

    "Oh let's see if we can find another bottom of the barrel story about an Asian, Homosexual, Dodgy Builder that does herion and doesn't speak English".

    Let's be honest with ourselves people. This is not news, it's extended propaganda to encourage racist and redneck behaviour.
