Perth back to back: as the final week of Season Mode... begins to crack.
Welcome back, to Content Survey Live: Season Mode, and it is getting into top gear for the final week of a event that has stretched for four months. Tonight, Perth, for the first time faces a Monday Night challenge thanks to the Hometown Rule... hoping to upset Melbourne in a grand final rematch from 2023.
Let's go over the ground rules.
Let's go over the ground rules.
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: Some special rules will apply to certain events, e.g. Monday Night's "Hometown Rule" (where the city listed first, is obliged to be surveyed first), Brisbane's GC content count etc.
This week, the city observing a bye: is Sydney (effectively ending their season last Thursday night, becoming the first city to get a total score)
THE TALE OF THE TAPE:
Last Friday, Perth seemingly returned to the form of the past: finishing Sydney off in grand style. Tonight is the final appearance of this city this year: in a grand final rematch against last year's champions: Melbourne (who lost Survey of Origin last week by the narrowest of margins.)
We open tonight's bulletin with a push for tougher WA gun laws after the shooting at Floreat on Friday afternoon, a life sentence is given to a aged care worker who murdered a dementia patient in their care, the completion of the Ranford Road rail overpass duplication, as part of greater Metronet works, and a major milestone for WA's RSV immunisation program for babies and toddlers: with the 10,000th child immunized this week, as well as another Rex announcement: Adelaide-Perth services commencing.
No live crosses, but a solitary V/O'd piece about a overnight fire at O'Connor. Tonight's weather being presented in-studio.
Sport tonight, is still dealing with the Fremantle/Collingwood draw on Friday night (covered well in WA, as it's the only market these days with local weekend news), a preview for both WA side's games this weekend, and potential recruitment plans by WA clubs for Chad Warner.
Overall, tonight Perth played it safe. But for a city that has had in the last 8 months just 45mm of rain: tonight's forecast signaled one thing for many as they head into their famous winter sprinkler shutoff... with dam levels at their lowest since 2018 (thanks to no inflows at all this year so far).
That thing... quite simply, it's hope.
The scores:

Someone at 10 Perth needs a Snickers.

The scores:
Five local stories.
One voiced over piece, no live crosses.
Sport again showing it's strength in WA.
On Friday night, Perth scored a 7/10,
Tonight: Perth scored... 6.8/10
The overall score for Perth during this event: 26.3/40.
Perth this year, got off it's sluggish start: and again meant business. But that loss to Adelaide in week 1, likely set the scene for the rest of the season: where it performed slightly worse than grand final last year, while some teething problems remained: most critically, Perth's sport having a intro failure in April. Overall, the Perth market has shown some consistency over this event: and deserves all of it's ideas being pasted across the entire network.

A Flood Of Memories: 1974 Revisited.
(thanks to some Brisbane Telegraph and Sunday Sun microfiche over at SLQ)
The front page, fifty years ago today: is more a showing of a continuation of pressure by Sir Gordon Chalk (while Joh was on holiday) leading into a upcoming post-federal election premiers conference both would attend.

Well that's it for the first half of the final Monday fixture for 2024. Tomorrow night, it's Melbourne's finale. See you then.
