Lexicon News with AI... Nahh.
Welcome to the fourth night of the final edition of Lexicon News. Last night was more editing, including a interview with the acting QLD Police Commissioner, run by a aging packet of chewing gum... I mean a past his prime Lane Calcutt.
Now onto the ground rules.
The Ground Rules:
SEGMENT 2: GC murder inquest extended, Jacek McLaurin wakes up from coma after significant spinal injury, e-bike license fears, Brisbane airport parking now the most profitable in the country.
Now onto the ground rules.
The Ground Rules:
The ground rules, for the Lexicon News event, are taken from a promo, in 1987: that compared Seven's second attempt at 1hr news in Brisbane, with Nine's 1/2hr product that became dominant at the exact same time.
As it described:
"If you are watching a half-hour news, take out the weather, sport, opening music, hello's and goodbyes and the commercials, and you could only get about 12 minutes of real news each night."
Thus the ground rules for the Lexicon News challenge are for five nights:
-Time the length of the bulletin, from the moment the first story intro begins at 6, to the time the throw to sport begins, on both bulletins.
-Write down every story on the 1hr version, and compare with the half hour version to see how much content is removed.
-Subtract the BNE timing from the regional timing to get the amount of time lost to regional QLD viewers each night by simply trimming the BTQ news bulletin.
-Ultimately: add up all the figures, and come up with a final set of numbers at the end of the week.
In addition, we will be tracking how many coverups of live cross timings (usually seen as giant "LIVE" graphics superimposed) are made by Seven on the 10 minute edit during this period.
Tonight's tale...
General Edits Made (What do you mean we put that Tom Tate interview in the AI filter! We couldn't use it last night for aging Lane Calcutt, why the hell should we use it for Tom Tate.).

Stuff that aired in the regional QLD cut, is underlined.
SEGMENT 1: Iran War (back in first position), live cross to Tel Aviv, live cross to Washington, Hugh Whitfeld explainer, first Australians back from the Middle East, Canada PM speech at joint sitting (a oxymoron as the senators have to stand), wrap of Canberra news, food security fears (urea shortage anyone?) Live cross to CBUS Stadium for Iranian Womens Asian Cup game against Australia, snorkeller attacked on Lady Elliot Island, Woombye shooting new angles (coming soon to the next season of Towies)

Segment 1 length in Brisbane: 18 minutes, 33 seconds
SEGMENT 2: GC murder inquest extended, Jacek McLaurin wakes up from coma after significant spinal injury, e-bike license fears, Brisbane airport parking now the most profitable in the country.
Brisbane: your long-term parking habits at Brisbane Airport post-COVID paid for Brisbane Airport Corporation to poach Peter Doherty from Seven a few years back. There, it had to be said.
Segment 2 length in Brisbane: 4 minutes, 30 seconds.
SEGMENT 3: The truck that couldn't slow down: causes major chaos at Alexandra Headland, rolling search for a surf lifesaver off Warana, hate speech laws passing, Phoenix light aircraft crash, changing times for European travel (perhaps Qantas's Project Sunrise's time has come?)
Segment 3 length in Brisbane: 3 minutes, 5 seconds.
SEGMENT 4: Finance report, specialist fee crackdown (tip: the real crackdown should be dentistry, break the ADA stranglehold/Oral B opinion on dentists on television), Tips for Naplan, a faulty Indian elevator caught on camera, and a "Baby Brain" study-shaped object (to borrow from Kevin Bonham's "poll-shaped object", used in reference to dodgy polling).
Segment 4 length in Brisbane: 3 minutes, 55 seconds.
Well, that's it for Night 4 of the last time for Lexicon News.
See you again, tomorrow night, for the grand finale, for a series that has been five years of life... see you again soon.

Overall pre-sport length in Brisbane: 30 minutes, 3 seconds.
Overall edit for regional Queensland viewers: 10 minutes, 40 seconds.
Overall content lexiconed from tonight by Seven from the Brisbane 6pm news for regional viewers: 19 minutes, 23 seconds.
The amount of lexiconed content this week so far by Seven: 79 minutes, 53 seconds (seven seconds off a regulation rugby league game). It is now 6 minutes, 36 seconds more than the total after night 4, in 2023. The final countdown for the Lexicon News format tomorrow night, sees the number screeching toward a near 100 minute lexiconed figure for the first time since 2021.
Well, that's it for Night 4 of the last time for Lexicon News.
See you again, tomorrow night, for the grand finale, for a series that has been five years of life... see you again soon.
