To mark the milestone, the show's final package reflected on the newsroom's 27 years on the Border, sharing footage from the Black Saturday fires, the Walla tip fire and the 1992 opening of 16 Hume Weir gates.
Presenter Geoff Phillips ended the bulletin with a final goodnight to Border viewers.
"To all our staff who have put the news together over more than 25 years my heartfelt thanks." he said.
"And to you our wonderful viewers thanks for watching the bulletins, of which we are extremely proud. Goodnight."
