Anna Hay (Sport). Regional bulletins Regional Queensland Local news bulletins for Regional Queensland are broadcast each weeknight at 6pm, in all seven regional areas: Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Wide Bay, Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast, and Rockhampton. They are followed by a shortened 30-minute version of 7NEWS Brisbane. The bulletins are presented by Rob Brough, with Joanne Desmond co-anchoring the Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton and Toowoomba editions. Sport is presented by Nathan Spurling and weather is presented by Livio Regano. Fill-in presenters include Dannielle DiPinto (news), Luke McGarry (sport), Rosanna Natoli (weather). Reporters and camera crews are based at newsrooms in each of the seven regions with studio presentation for the Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Darling Downs, Rockhampton and Wide Bay bulletins pre-recorded at studios in Maroochydore. The Sunshine Coast edition of Seven News is broadcast live, but may also exchange it to any of the six pre-recorded regions at certain circumstances (e.g., cyclone coverage in the nearest region of immediate concern). News editing is undertaken by the local newsrooms, and sent to the main Maroochydore studios for transmission. The most successful edition of 7NEWS Queensland is broadcast on the Sunshine Coast. In early 1998, WIN Television launched a competing service publicly stating that it would beat Seven in the ratings within six months. At the end of the 1998 ratings season, after a new station head (Laurie Patton) had overseen a comprehensive re-vamping of the program and its external promotions, 7NEWS Queensland had actually increased its audience share by six ratings points. In early 2004, 7NEWS Queensland was re-introduced in the Townsville and Cairns sub-markets as a result of regulations regarding local content on regional television introduced by the Australian Broadcasting Authority. On 5 March 2007, 7NEWS Queensland bulletins commenced production and broadcasts in a widescreen standard-definition digital format. 7NEWS Queensland was the first regional news service in regional Queensland to convert to widescreen. On 22 November 2010, 7NEWS Queensland launched a sixth edition for the Rockhampton/Gladstone and Central Queensland region. On 2 November 2015, 7NEWS Queensland launched a seventh edition for the Toowoomba and the Darling Downs region. With the said launch, Seven News became the only news service to cover all regional centres of Queensland since the axing of WIN News in the Mackay region in May 2015. This lasted until July 2017, when rival Nine News began to roll out local composite bulletins for their statewide affiliate Southern Cross Television
