Nine News has announced they will launch a dedicated 6pm bulletin for Tasmania, to be based out of the state capital of Hobart. Nine doesn't own their Tasmanian station however, WIN is the affiliate. They're essentially outsourcing the production of local news to its network partner.
Seven News Australia received a new look. Gone are the predominately blue graphics, in are the red, black and white.

The Australian regional TV affiliation switch of 2016 is about to be reversed. The Nine Network and WIN Television have announced a minimum 7-year affiliation agreement, with WIN paying 50% of its advertising revenue to Nine as an affiliation fee. The now-former affiliate group, Southern Cross Television, will by default end up with Network Ten. The switch will occur in June.
