Network drops bulletin

CHANNEL 7 Queensland has axed its weekend bulletin on the Gold Coast to cut costs.

Staff at the Gold Coast newsroom were informed of the shutdown, effective immediately, last Tuesday. It brings Seven into line with Nine’s fiveday Gold Coast News.

It was announced after Seven West Media’s annual general meeting this year that the company was looking at ways to streamline the business.

The network said no jobs had been lost in scrapping the weekend bulletin.
