A reminder: The best solution to the Olympics problem is layed out in the Big Q, not with our politicians.
Welcome to the final night of Lexicon News The Third.
This year's season culminates with a storm over Brisbane's CBD just hours before the end of the weeknight ratings season.
Let's again go over the ground rules for Lexicon News:
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...
What aired in regional QLD will be bolded and in red.
We open the bulletin tonight, with a storm over SEQ after a stinking hot day (with the Paul Burt pre-storm cross removed for regional viewers), a temporary stadium plan for the RNA Showgrounds, a shooting in Chelmer (thankfully only of a car), a fire at the Brisbane Golf Club in Yeerongpilly, former MP Robert Schwarten being critical of Labor, while a police audit is released, the GC backyard bashing goes to court, more from the notable defamation case, a restart to hostilities in Gaza, new videos produced by Border Force to be a pre-emptive strike, funeral for the SA police commissioner's son, Netball's pay war continues, our airports packed for summer, A big big stink in Swanbank continues, controversal Royal family book author doing the UK rounds, a shortie on the death of Shane McGowan (The Pogues), a pole spears through a tradies van in Melbourne, More coverage on the death of Henry Kissinger, the release of the Tesla Cybertruck, a holiday activity guide (that stupidly is a week early), Christmas tree lighting chaos in the Brisbane CBD, GC Mayor's Carols (I bet you Max sings better than Steve Titmus), Old El Paso recall on mis-labeled hard/soft taco kits, the King George Square Christmas tree is finally lit, a crazy chase in the US of a mobile home and food prices for Christmas they are a soaring!
A update on Monday night's bulletin's plug for a Heartkids fundraiser: their total is now over $1200 raised.
And, finally another reminder: OneQueensland's "Big Q" is being launched wider: the link to the survey is available here.
This year's Lexicon News is finally over. We now aim your focus to the KWnetwork Select on Boxing Day, where there will be significant announcements concerning next year's Content Survey Live, just to say a few words. but for the future of Lexicon News (which I stated last year only has one more edition to go post "The Third"): will not be back in 2024, in fact this three year run, has likely inspired a significant ret....
We now end this year's Lexicon News, not with Ubu... but with Julia Morris from the nineties.
Screw it: here's Ubu!

The timing in Brisbane added up to 29 minutes even.
The regional cut added up to 10 minutes, 17 seconds.
The amount of content Seven lexiconed out, of their Brisbane newshour in regional QLD tonight: 18 minutes, 43 seconds.
The amount of lexiconed content this week by Seven: 92mins even: 12mins 50secs less than the figure recorded in 2021.
