All networks showed the 2016 debates live
Seven, Nine and 10 Melbourne may not be able to broadcast the first presidential debate live, if it clashes with the Victorian Government’s daily COVID-19 press conference.

11:00 am AEST NINE NEWS SPECIAL - US Presidential Debate
Changes to morning schedule:
12:30 pm NINE’S MORNING NEWS
01:00 pm ELLEN
For Adelaide the morning will run live from the east coast starting with Nine News Early Edition and including Today and Today Extra.
Nine Morning News despite it being 12:30pm
No announcements been made (1 News, Newshub etc.) whenever the 1st US presidential debate could be shown on New Zealand FTA channels on Wednesday. Their schedule is just normal as usual.
That has been Nine’s practice in the past - to retain the bulletin name despite the timeslot.
Let’s not make a fuss over something so minor as this…
If this was a bulletin that was permanently scheduled for 12:30, then sure - very odd. It’s one off thing, however, that is happening due to other programming - not so odd.
Even as a one off thing, surely it’s a bit odd to have “Nine’s Morning News” at 12.30pm in the afternoon?!
