    The Nine Network and WIN Corporation today announced that agreement had been reached on licensing fees for the regional stations in the WIN National Network and STW-9 Perth. There is no change to the arrangements for NWS-9 in Adelaide.

    Ian Law, Chief Executive Officer of PBL Media said "the new agreement is a good compromise reflecting the higher costs of our content and our need to invest in the network at the same time ensuring WIN National Network has capacity to invest and grow its business."

    We are already planning a number of changes in the local news and current affairs content to take us forward.

    Interesting! :)

    No doubt that includes moving WIN News Western Australia from Wollongong to Perth, but I wonder what else they have planned? A local edition of A Current Affair has been tossed around I believe. That's quite possibly what Gordon is referring to I'd say.

    I think they should also think about maybe doing another local bulletin, either late night or mid-morning. I doubt that will happen though. :dontknow:

    I don't understand why they decided to get Seven affiliation for SES/RTS in regional South Australia, given that they were so close to an agreement. Hopefully WIN can reverse their decision to gain Seven Seven affiliation for SES/RTS, now that an agreement with Nine has been made.

    stickeylabel,

    stickeylabel,

    The deal doesn't cover all the non aggregated WIN owned stations, with Griffith and Regional SA there is a station missing all together and WIN is obviously weighing up if that should be Nine, Seven or Ten. Dropping Nine is still the cheapest option for WIN, but I think a dual affiliated WIN station in those areas is now likely.

    I believe those 'changes' include the upgrading to widescreen in the fourth quarter of 2007.

    Despite the new arrangements, I can't see WIN reversing the schedule changes they've already made.
