I’ve seen that photo of Gavin Morris used on a BuzzFeed article before…

Paddy Kilmurray still referred to NBN when promoting the NRL coverage tonight. I wonder when that will change?

Not sure, although perhaps it might be vaguely of interest that the phrase “NBN Television” has been removed from the start of the NBN News radio promos (as you can hear on NBN News’ SoundCloud page) this week.

Do you mean the dotted Australia map?
If so, I would think they are both commonly derived from the dotted globe used across the network?
Also, on another note, I’m SURE this afternoon I saw a “Tonight on Nine News” super with three headlines appear during Hot Seat (sorry I was not at home when I saw it and didn’t get a chance to get a screenshot of it).
It must have slipped though from Sydney, as it was still NBN branded news at 6pm.

I can only guess that NBN was using a dirty feed from TCN Sydney which included an In-Program Promotional Super for Nine News Sydney.

we always get the dirty feed - if you watch the shows at 5.30 like Getaway we get the supers with “NEXT: 9 News”

In very sad news, a much loved member of the NBN family Ian “Beat” Hill passed away this morning. Many will have fond childhood memories of the wildlife series “Beating Round the Bush” with Beat and Art “Poppa” Ryan, and Ian was a much loved and respected member of the Newcastle media community. NBN wishes to extend our sincere condolences to Ian’s family.
Jane Goldsmith will be returning to NBN News in January next year:
Also, that pic of Gavin Morris has again been featured in a BuzzFeed article! 
On a more serious note, I wonder what the chances are of NBN News picking up a version of the refreshed On-Air Presentation package Nine News is supposed to be getting sometime soon?
Yes I know that NBN News’ track record at relaunches isn’t overly fantastic, but since the station now shares a general manager with Nine Queensland (who’s news generally follows whatever the rest of the network is doing On-Air Presentation wise) I do think that NBN News having a refresh to match any possible new network news look is considerably much more likely than it would’ve been 3-4 years ago, especially after the changes to NBN News in February and April…

Earlier NBN News bulletin tonight to accommodate the NRL. 9 News Sydney and 9 News Brisbane also at the earlier time of 4:30pm for half an hour.

Probably at some point, however I certainly wouldn’t be holding my breath for a new look NBN News in the immediate future when they only had their most recent branding refreshes (mainly to further match the current/outgoing Nine News branding) in February and April this year!
And while NBN and QTQ are managed and run by the same executive, one would imagine that it’s network management based in Sydney that will ultimately get the final say on branding for news services on all stations they own and operate.

From the very little I got to see of her talents on NBN News during my North Coast trips, Kathryn Foran was a great reporter. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see her somewhere in the media again!
