Jennifer Keyte is easily 10's biggest asset, and the return of the 2023 champions to this series is set to be one to watch, whether or not Keyte is there tonight. The challenge tonight is vastly different than what has laid before. The pre-season coverage by Perth and Adelaide has been stellar, but it is now time to see if Melbourne's take on pre-season: with the AFL season about to kick off in just six days, is up to snuff: Content Survey Live titles aren't won on the first night: they are won on the last night.<br /><br />Let's get ready to survey... Melbourne.<br />And, yes, tonight, the queen of the news beat, Jennnnifer Keeeyte is back.<br />(We so need to have Steve Vizard do that intro)<br />Tonight, we open up with a full story on a death in Fitzroy after the Telstra OOO network went down early this morning, a shooting in Fawkner, a live cross/story on the Dunkley by-election in Frankston that lasted less time than the average Frankston joke: followed by voiced over pieces on arson arrests, a vigil for Celeste Manno, a raid on a South Yarra compounding pharmacy by the TGA and a seal rescue on Port Phillp Bay.<br />We also get stories on the price of coffee in Melbourne, the HMAS Cerberus open day this weekend and the now ubiquitous "Must Do Melbourne", now in the final window of Friday's news before the weather (previously being post-6pm in 2023)<br /><br />Melbourne's sports coverage again A1, with a live cross from a AFL practice match, a piece on St Kilda's lead-up to the season (where I think the reporter lost a bet in the office, concerning running a story where the word injury is not mentioned once (esp. with two calf injuries to the St Kilda lineup pre-season) blended in with two practice matches on the opposite side of the Barassi memorial line, as well as a NBL story.<br /><br />Melbourne's weather, is being presented <u>still</u> in a space, the size of a room in Josh Holt's house.<br />Overall, Melbourne tonight has come into this season with a clear reminder why they went all the way last season: although, now they have Adelaide nipping their feet going into the April round.<br /><br />The scores:<br />Five local stories (equal to Adelaide on Monday night)<br />Five voiced over stories (equal to Sydney on Monday night)<br />Two live crosses (thankfully not wasted on Las Vegas)<br />A meaty sports presentation... again without Quarters.<br />Last year's championship run by Melbourne: <u>SF1: 9/10, 8/10 PF: 5.4/10, 6/10, GF 7/10, 7/10.</u><br />Tonight: <u>Melbourne scored: 7/10 (matching their GF numbers last year)</u><br />Melbourne only needed to score above 1/10 tonight to get the two points for this fixture and a share of the lead for this year. It has sent a message to any challenger, and has put it's stamp on this year's competition... hard and fast, with the best score of the week overall, with Adelaide on Monday night only 1.2/10 behind.</b></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Anaheim;"><b style="font-style: italic;"><br /></b><span style="font-family: Anaheim; text-align: left;"><u style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;"><u>A Flood Of Memories: 1974 Revisited.</u></div></u></span><span style="font-family: Anaheim; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-style: italic;"><b>(thanks to some Brisbane Telegraph and Sunday Sun microfiche over at SLQ)</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>With the timeskip, we are now at <u style="font-weight: bold;">March 1, 1974.</u><br />That day, explains the shortness of the Queen's visit to Australia: with the first stories coming in about <b>the first of <u>two</u></b> UK general elections in that year: a election used as a game of brinkmanship fresh off the 1973 oil crisis, and incidentally, the only big international story to make the front page in this first run of Flood of Memories.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9qqE0TUFBJsPFBj3R8MljXda4RZqLyqx9r0KnBdwOBOGWyNtIGUu_teR8SbcdXIbkZmGW1BUgoDRdBm1pTkb0M69FbvGWFZ35TXgBxti-de10DCQcGZocRXN2aF-vDlxl_0pLt-NPVLvY8PURUYs7u8VkiddDts-LdgXjsx5QsrokEkfic1M2qTpyZ_c/s1932/ViewScan_CSLFeb0029.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="1340" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9qqE0TUFBJsPFBj3R8MljXda4RZqLyqx9r0KnBdwOBOGWyNtIGUu_teR8SbcdXIbkZmGW1BUgoDRdBm1pTkb0M69FbvGWFZ35TXgBxti-de10DCQcGZocRXN2aF-vDlxl_0pLt-NPVLvY8PURUYs7u8VkiddDts-LdgXjsx5QsrokEkfic1M2qTpyZ_c/w444-h640/ViewScan_CSLFeb0029.png" width="444" /></a></div><b>(Brisbane Telegraph front page 1/3/1974)<br /></b><br />The gamble by UK PM Ted Heath (part of a wider gamble, including the introduction of a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZuNA54ZGqY" target="_blank">three day week</a> to conserve electricity supplies: just as winter started to bite, against the possibility of a coal workers strike, that ultimately happened) cost him his job as PM, and put in a minority Labour government that ultimately got a slim majority in the October 1974 UK general election, before being itself wiped out in 1979 after the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent" target="_blank">Winter of Discontent</a>.<br /><br />A interesting statistic concerning today's British politics we can share here that is related to a <b>28th of Feburary UK federal election</b>: Yesterday's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Rochdale_by-election" target="_blank">Rochdale by-election,</a> was the first UK by-election to be held on the <b>29th of Feburary</b> for eighty years: the previous was the 1944 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944_Bury_St_Edmunds_by-election" target="_blank">Bury St Edmonds by-election</a> (held in the middle of the Second World War).<br /><br />Meanwhile, a article was published that gave us the full rainfall statistics for summer in Brisbane that year.<br /><b><u><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6My44qSvkV4yE9ItRTndXLDM6G_bxECcYidlNLqxEWJ3NfB9hsbHvjdx8Tr9Arp4GHklhVxlIqJjk1LjSf82vrZTZTftVF2e8AuASnf3eL2GxxXprvV7Q_y-Z4QjY5IN5jv7Ca_2soztXP1VClm14aCnTF8-Nd6s1RSPpUWGwZ4e4-MYQaMM7BOf6jQ/s946/ViewScan_CSLFeb0030.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="946" data-original-width="744" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6My44qSvkV4yE9ItRTndXLDM6G_bxECcYidlNLqxEWJ3NfB9hsbHvjdx8Tr9Arp4GHklhVxlIqJjk1LjSf82vrZTZTftVF2e8AuASnf3eL2GxxXprvV7Q_y-Z4QjY5IN5jv7Ca_2soztXP1VClm14aCnTF8-Nd6s1RSPpUWGwZ4e4-MYQaMM7BOf6jQ/w315-h400/ViewScan_CSLFeb0030.png" width="315" /></a></div><br />(Brisbane rainfall article)</u></b><br /><br />Well, that is it for the Feburary round of Content Survey Live: Season Mode, <b><u>a summertime first.</u></b> Melbourne and Adelaide are tied for the lead as we go into the sole week in April <b>(with Adelaide set to sit out their bye</b>) kicking off on <b>April 8,</b> with Sydney V Melbourne on Monday night <b>with the Hometown Rule residing in the Harbour City that round, </b>and <b>Perth V Brisbane over Thursday/Friday of that week</b>.

The common viewer will simply see those words... and instantly think <b><u>"It won't happen here".</u></b><br /><br />They said the <b><u>exact same things</u></b> in New Zealand: and yet, the nation's sole commercial news service (in a similar role to ITN in the UK, producing news for two of the country's commercial networks: Three and Sky Open) is set to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0YxYQRWpbM" target="_blank">pull up stumps come June.</a><br />And, that's in a <b><u>national market</u></b> with <b><u>far less local TV news regulation</u></b> than <b><u>regional Australia</u></b>.<br /><br />Please make the inboxes of the federal Communications minister and shadow federal Communications minister full of fears from viewers of a commercial TV news landscape that is simply a <u style="font-weight: bold;">duopoly:</u> if events such as a news department axe is ever mooted by 10, like what is happening now across the ditch.<br /><br />It'll only take <b><u>one set of bad advertising figures</u></b> for a network teetering over the edge, before a decision like cutting <b><u>entire news divisions</u></b> is even contemplated.

Meanwhile, 10 could have cut heavily on the big story to potentially make some of these voiced over stories standalone pieces, such as a brawl at the Ivy pool club, arrests in a North Parramatta kidnap attempt, a daylight firebombing at a NSW state MP's electorate office (Holsworthy), a fire at Rydalmere (using NSW fire service supplied footage) and a update on a notable ICAC appeal.

The fact that you can tell in some parts of the bulletin that Sandra's getting tired (occasional missed words, some confusion, most critically in the closer where she almost said "Monday" not "tomorrow", leads me to believe that the Brisbane bulletin is <b>now literally done straight out of Sydney's bulletin</b> (where as 10 got away with pre-recording Brisbane's opening window with a 90min bulletin even in the summer months): something that will hang around until April.<br />Sadly, 10 shooting Brisbane's and Sydney's news <b>back to back</b> in the summer months (in fact, at anytime of the year) is a significant problem that needs to be addressed fully, by returning the bulletin back to Brisbane sooner rather than later: and if it means acquiring Kendall Gilding's services... then so be it.<br /><br />The scores:<br /><b>Three local stories (with the Elimbah story easily the worst),<br />One voiced over story (of PR footage)<br />One live cross,<br />One sports story whose headline outdid the story itself.<br /><br />Last year, the Brisbane bulletin scored <u>0.5/10</u> and <u>1/10,</u><br />The score for round one for Brisbane: <u>2/10</u>.<br /></b>A score that is higher than last year's combined average, but is still poor.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Anaheim;"><i>And, now about <b>that suggestion</b> for improving regional QLD coverage at 10:<br /><b>I believe the best option is for 10 to hire video journalists up and down the coast to reduce the reliance on pool feeds and costly flights for Brisbane journalists to cover regional QLD stories. These journalists can then be used to provide the news backbone for the regional QLD 10 affiliate if Paramount ends up buying it in the wake of the SCA/ARN carveup, allowing said station to match any new local news quotas.</b><br /></i></span> <br /><u style="font-family: Anaheim; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">A Flood of Memories: 1974 Revisited</u><br /><b style="font-family: Anaheim; font-style: italic;">(thanks to some Brisbane Telegraph and Sunday Sun microfiche over at SLQ)</b><br /><i style="font-family: Anaheim;">Welcome, to a feature that will span</i> <u style="font-family: Anaheim; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">both Content Survey Live's</u> <span style="font-family: Anaheim; font-style: italic;">this year.

We now have, the intro to the 1995 4 Quarters Grand Final Spectacular (long before the days of Eddie McGuire and Sam Newman started selling out Rod Laver Arena two days out from the Grand Final and the Players Revues that came with it: which began in 1996), that transforms "One Day in September" into a musical fit for Hollywood.<br /><br /></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZOm08CrF7MQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="ZOm08CrF7MQ"></iframe><br /><br /><b>The 4 Quarters Grand Final Spectacular's Hollywood salute, to the "One Day In September", from 1995.

Survey Live in 2023.<br />Adelaide's Monday Night turned out to be a rollercoaster, ultimately leading to a score of 5.5/10... Monday night in Melbourne, with a bulletin more fitting of competition than the Sydney-Brisbane hybrid could well pull out a shocker or two.<br /></span>

<br />So, we finish the first half of the preliminary final with a shocker indeed: Melbourne and Adelaide only separated by .1/10 (<u><span style="color: red;">Melbourne 5.4/10, Adelaide 5.5/10</span></u>), coming into the final two surveys. Melbourne's result with Monday night's news has landed them with a tough act: following on from the Matildas V Lionesses semi final being played in Sydney on Wednesday night, and hoping on a wing and a prayer to end up in the grand final next week... against Perth and following on next Monday from a potential Matildas World Cup final.<br /><br />See you on Thursday: after we find out whether The Matildas have one more 'til it's done, or the Lionesses are one step away from bringing football home, in the form of a possible first FIFA World Cup tournament win (male or female) by England since 1966.<br /></b><br /><i>A reminder: if you enjoyed this, follow us on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/kwcouchone">Patreon</a> (and perhaps become one of our patrons: helping us build our
