The premiership quarter cometh...
Welcome one and all, to the preliminary final for Content Survey Live in 2025.
Tonight, we kick off this fight, with Perth, tomorrow: we'll have Melbourne, with both cities making their cases clear for a shot at grand final glory.
A rematch of the 2023 grand final... this time with a grand final appearance on the line.
A rematch of the 2023 grand final... this time with a grand final appearance on the line.
As usual... here is the ground rules.
Our focus, in Content Survey Live will be monitoring Ten’s five capital city news services (a benefit of technological change, now allowing us to watch interstate bulletins on delay), using the same criteria we used in the “Great Local News Study” from Kuttsy's Pitch XI in August, 2019.
-Locally sourced stories: that is stories reported by local journos. Really big local market stories with national impacts, also fit here. Voiced over local stories are counted separately.
-Live crosses: stuff that is used to embellish a story.
-(NEW in 2025) Local overnight news: Handled via a system we call collectively, the “Ray Robinson Number”: 1pt for V/O’d overnight news, 2pts for a full story, the total is reported at each survey’s end.
-Weather is not counted.
-Sport is not counted if it’s done by obviously freelance journos, or voiced over pieces: you gotta have dedicated reporters there, with their mug on air reporting a sports story for it to count.
-(NEW in 2025) The “Hometown Rule” now applies to both Monday and Thursday night in the regular season as well as in the three Four Quarter Blitz finals (where the highest ranked participant goes first) outside of the Grand Final.
- (NEW in 2025) No 2nd survey (i.e. Tuesday/Friday) can be posted until 12hrs have elapsed after the live survey (Monday/Thursday) in the main season and the three Four Quarter Blitz finals outside the Grand Final. It can be worked on however, and scheduled.
We open tonight's news with a story on the sentencing of those responsible for the murder of Cassius Turvey, while a police pursuit overnight in Forrestfield turns deadly for a innocent driver (two points for the Ray Robinson Number), WA government purchases a entire aparthotel to rework as affordable housing, while a voiced over piece runs on the extension of state funded flu jabs.
We next see a full story on Medicare funding lung cancer early screening, while showing us the exact reason why 10 shouldn't be putting editors out of work in Perth.
Reporter Jodie Oddy labeled as federal health minister Mark Butler.
The Jodie Oddy graphic finally comes up... right in a bunch of smoke.
Meanwhile, we get voiced over pieces on reptile smuggling east, and the first Perth to Doha flights kicking off, before a interview with former Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield.
Sport tonight, is your typical Thursday night fare for Perth, although a critical mistake was being made here: the lack of a live cross to HBF Park for the Matildas friendly, despite the game airing on 10 (and pre-empting the penultimate episode of The Project in WA), which could have made a tonne of difference from typical, to outstanding.
I just wonder if this headline wasn't referring to the AFL at all, but to their non-existent live cross effort from the Matildas friendly at HBF Park?
Overall, a night to savior or will it be a night to forget come the time Melbourne's survey is out tomorrow, a city already surveyed once this week.
The scores:
Five local stories.
Three voiced over stories
Sport that was typical, but could have been better as...
No live crosses (in fact, a cat adoption drive for weather was seen as more important than a Matildas friendly in terms of live cross value... something reflected in the scores tonight.)
A Ray Robinson Number...

... of 2.
The only number that matters for Perth tonight is coming up.
Perth tonight would have gotten a 6.7/10.
However, due to the lack of live cross from HBF Park/Matildas friendly, we have decided to dock them .5 points.
The final score for Perth tonight... 6.2/10.
A score that has Melbourne hoping for a good night, with much denser AFL content tomorrow night, to sail them clear into the Content Survey Live grand final... something some in Perth are feeling a lot more shaky about now.
Well, that's it for tonight. Tomorrow night, we have Melbourne set to make their claim as to whether their season lives on... or dies just short of the Grand Final.
In addition, we will reveal more details about Content Survey Live U.S.A. and it's implications for the Australian version of Content Survey Live next year.
