Is the backdrop on ACA always blurry and out of focus like it is tonight?

Was worse behind the John Wood story and the one about child safety. All the text was blurry

The child safety story was very 60 Minutes tonight. I thought it was well done and hope the poor girl csn return home after this story.

Another joint investigation by ACA, The Age and SMH. More on this in tonight’s show.
This story is going to get legs that’s for sure going crazy across all socials.
Great work to whoever uncovered this story.
What story?
I posted it this morning.

Is ACA content localized? Or is it one bulletin shown nationally?
One bulletin.
Don’t think bulletin is the right word…

Responding to an earlier post in last night’s ratings thread.
Given how long she’s been at Nine for now, I’d imagine that Tracy Grimshaw will be presenter of A Current Affair until the day she retires from the network and Australian television as a whole. Remembering how often she’s been absent from the program in recent years (I’m sure it was around every 3-4 weeks during 2019!), I’d be willing to predict a presenter transition will happen sometime in the not overly distant future.
Personally, I really hope Deborah Knight doesn’t become the main presenter of ACA after Tracy. Not because Deb is a bad presenter by any means, but rather because her reputation (already tarnished somewhat by decisions in the last year or two) would likely be completely destroyed to the point of no recovery if she ever became the main presenter of Nine’s weeknightly tabloid “current affairs” program.
Leila McKinnon would probably be the rightful person to succeed Tracy given that we’ve seen Leila fill-in for Tracy very many times over the past 14 years. But if she decided not to take up the role, I’d be fine with Karl Stefanovic presenting ACA - at least he’d be a presenter who suits the show’s content!

I think a female is better suited to the show.
Lelia is obviously the next one in line - She has been on the show for many years.
If I was Lelia and looking for a promotion into Tracy’s role, I would be furious if someone else took it considering she has been apart of the show for 14 years. It’s like promoting a trainee into a management position over a loyal employee of 10 years.

Leila lives in Byron Bay. I don’t know if she’d want to make a full time commitment unless she could present out of Nine Gold Coast (they just made provisions for Ray Hadley) or somehow build a studio for her at NBN Lismore (not very likely).
