Louise Momber was way too ‘wooden’ to be an effective presenter, good decision guys. I would prefer your trashy type journalism to continue to be based on ’sensationalism’ nationally, rather than pathetic local council parking disputes. For real news content I turn to ABC and SBS anyway. That way I don’t get The West Coast Eagles, or Dockers as leading news stories every night.

Most viewers will turn to today tonight and not the East Coast Edition of ACA, so that will be a big loss for nine

the first couple of weeks was good as the leading stories was sa based and good at that. the lower lakes being a good story. but i haven’t seen a proper sa based story in awhile. good luck to kate as the tv world is hard and we as a nation have become a bunch of knockers with chips on our shoulders.

I know this has nothing to do with WIN but if Nine had not wasted Money on those 2.5 men imports and that Bert Newton Rubbish 20 to 1 and now 50 to 1 They would not be in this much of a financial problem now shame really.
First they announce the axing of the lovable Humphrey Bear and sell him off and now this.
I know this might sound like an odd choice for the Adelaide Edition but why not bring back Keith Conlon to give him something to do when he is not hosting Postcards.

I can see it now for Adelaide viewers.

Kate was relevant to the south australian edition and young.How will going back to Grimshaw keep the viewers around for 2.5 men at 7pm

How about dropping this crap now.Put 2.5 men on at 6:30pm and Hurry Up getting a game show of some type put into the 7pm timeslot for when ratings start again in 2010.
Except for people into these kinds of shows They will lose Viewers to Neighbours and whatever else the ABC shows at the same time of night.I don’t even watch the s**t that is ACA and Today Tonight Usually I am working or if it is my day off I am at the fitness centre and find a tv set that has a channel 10 setting on it at half six every week and get my soap fix and a half hour escapism from reality.

‘Bout time they did this. It’s Tracy Grimshaw and her really good interviews that make me watch A Current Affair.

re: sam (4:23) .. yes sam, there is a world out there, unfortunately it seems you are stuck in your own little world with those unwarranted comments.. boo hoo to you

as an adelaide resident (formerly of the big wide world as sam would put it), the s.a. version of aca was not bad at all – it was apparently making ground in its timeslot, even winning at times!

they gave it a go…… their website was always up to date, and well organised for what it was (adelaideaca.com.au)

its a pity really, rip

From what I saw of Perth & Adelaide’s ACA, they didn’t mind putting the odd local political story to air. Now that timeslot just got a little bit dumber.

Oh well. WIN Corp should be given credit for at least having a go.

Damn, Adelaide’;s Kate Collins was hot. Whats she going to do now?

Poor buggers. I can’t watch Grimshaw for 5 seconds. She has nothing going for her whatsoever.

If WIN is is wanting to build their local profile and news brand in Adelaide & Perth (which I expect was the reason behind the two local ACAs) they’d be better off spending the money on a local late news at 5.30pm as a lead in to the 6pm news or at 11.30pm.

And Nine wonders why Channel 7 beats it consistently by 80000ish+ in news and current affairs….
Channel 7 should get a further jump on nine (and advertising) by going to satellite subscribers on foxtel over here.
