It’s a holiday weekend, so be sure to tune into WIN News on Monday night to see what spectacular technical problems and bloopers they can come up with. The last long weekend (Anzac Day) has already passed into Canberra folklore and has been immortalised on YouTube. Let’s see whether they can top it this time. It’ll be a hard task, but knowing the amateurish, hillbilly outfit WIN is, I’m sure they won’t let us down.
