Time for a individual showcase,
Time for one side to show it's might.
Welcome to the third night, of Semi Final 2 of Content Survey Live. Monday night's wrap of Sydney and Adelaide, both were tightly competitive. Although Adelaide streaked ahead: Sydney still has some time to come from behind.
The current standings for Semi Final 2 at the halfway point of this week are:
Sydney: 2/10
Adelaide 4.5/10.
The rules of combat... I mean survey are as follows:
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.
-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.
-And finally: Ten Brisbane will have it’s Gold Coast content tracked during it’s nights: something that has become a tradition in itself.
We arrive into Sydney's news tonight in a fairly big news day: with the key overseas story (forest fire destruction on the Hawaiian island of Maui) ending up on the local window and leading the post-6pm segment.
Are you ready to survey some content...
The first window opens with a lengthy piece on the Buxton crash verdict in Picton (replayed after 6, with a near car crass... crash intro by Sandra), followed by a set of motor cruisers catching fire at Church Point (and given the tag "Church Point, Sydney" (for Queenslanders not knowing where Pittwater is) when replayed in the hybrid 6pm window), a NSW Government audit on future high density living sites and the opening of Sydney Olympic Park as a live-site for Saturday's Matildas FIFA Women's World Cup quarter final (happening at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane). We also get a voiced-over piece on a car crash at Schofields.
In the second segment (shared with Brisbane) we get a live cross about the continuing story about a mushroom poisoning in Victoria, while traffic reports are grounded in Sydney tonight due to wind issues (that also affected Sydney airport).
First and post-6pm sports window's NRL coverage conveniently avoided tonight's Manly/Penrith game at Brookvale Oval in favor of a Queensland-heavy wrap.
Again, no fresh stories from Sydney in the 6pm window.
Sydney's bulletin tonight, is likely just as poorly laid out as Monday night, and is content deficient. The common thread existing between both Brisbane and Sydney bulletins is how phoned in they are, compared to Melbourne and Adelaide since they have been split earlier this year. The time has arrived, to make Sandra Sydney-only, and find someone for Brisbane who can be utilized for the Brisbane newsroom's revival.

Because, this product will not survive as a hybrid once Neighbours arrives as the lead-in, a month's time.
Overall:
Four local stories, two rerun after six,
Overall:
Four local stories, two rerun after six,
one voiced-over story
one out of market live cross, shared with Brisbane,
and NRL coverage ignorant of a game being played 18km away tonight.
On Monday night, Sydney scored 2/10.
Tonight: Sydney scored 2.25/10, for a overall score of 4.25/20.
The 4.25/20 is well deserved. It also means, Adelaide has to only score anything higher than a 1, to have a emphatic win against Sydney in this semi-final. Adelaide, much like Melbourne last week has made a meal out of a hybrid bulletin that is increasingly becoming irrelevant in terms of it's network. This also means that 2021 and 2022's bronze winner, is out the door, at the semi final stage much like Brisbane did last week.

The Halftime of Our Lives.
This pre-game entertainment marathon, from 1985’s Sydney RL grand final, is one to set the national heartstrings ablaze. Based around various stages at the SCG, and preceded by a parachute display (try and get away with the aerial arrivals today, V’landys!) this is more a attempt to try and portray a wide range of national emotions for the Greatest Game of All.

Tomorrow: we are looking at a pre-game show that didn’t even get started, I think you know what that is!
Tomorrow, we complete Semi Final 2, with what looks like a victory lap for Adelaide, and when translated to Burfordese (dictionary for identifying Burfordballs in the works), it'd be a victory clap for Adelaide.
And, a final shoutout: to the Australian contingent competing at Pokemon Worlds in Yokohama (kicking off at 10am AEST tomorrow, streams are available on Twitch and Youtube) to borrow from Farnsey's time with the Little River Band: This time, you are playing to win.
