[edit] WIN News
WIN News produces regional news bulletins for the seven regional markets covered by RTQ - Rockhampton, Cairns, Townsville, Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast, Mackay and Wide Bay.
WIN Television is the only network to provide local news across all seven sub-markets in Queensland, employing 61 full-time journalists and camera staff backed up by a team of eleven full-time presenters and guest presenters.[citation needed] Reporters and camera crews are based within all regions from newsrooms in Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Cairns, Mackay, Maroochydore, Toowoomba and Townsville.
Studio presentation for the bulletins originate from studios in Rockhampton (Northern & Central Queensland and statewide bulletins) and Toowoomba (Southern Queensland bulletins). The 6pm Townsville and Sunshine Coast bulletins are broadcast live from the Rockhampton and Toowoomba studios respectively, with all other bulletins pre-recorded. Weather forecasts for all regions are pre-recorded from Rockhampton with the Townsville forecast broadcast live.
For a three week period during the summer, a state-wide Summer Edition presented from Toowoomba replaces the regional bulletins and incorporates news from all seven RTQ markets.
