The Pitch is Back.
23 years to the date: a TV newsroom in Townsville found out their bulletin would be made history and ultimately put on the ultimate signoff as local loyalty was flushed down the toilet in favour of noodle updates from Canberra, a messy product from Brisbane and more noodle updates this time from Tasmania. All this while, what ultimately became the only QLD-produced and presented regional news service continues to be dominant (which began when it swooped in to Townsville and Cairns 20yrs ago to add to their thriving heritage products in the Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast and Mackay), and misinformation and a botched move by a metropolitan station concerning local news is now bleeding that same regional station that cut their FNQ links in 2001 dry.
