They’d be nuts not to. It’s rating very well for Saturday nights and provides room for breaking news if there every was any.

Would this mean Deb is the most likely to succeed Tracy Grimshaw whenever that happens? She could probably do her radio show + ACA.

Noting Leila is unlikely to replace on a permanent basis due to being based in Byron Bay.

She’d have to give up radio and take on doing shit journalism but the cheque is probably worth it

And the ratings would probably justify it too.

You can get cheesier than Karl though…

Wait… what? She drives 8+ hours to the Willoughby studios - soon North Sydney? She must get a HUGE pay cheque if she works casual and needs to drive.

Yes, there are multiple daily flights between Ballina and Sydney. I also daresay they still have Sydney base where she stays while she’s down here as well.

In any case, she doesn’t need to work for financial reasons. It’s about maintaining that passion and the work connections.

Brisbane tradie Byron Cockburn has launched legal action against Nine in the Federal Court over an ACA story on September 6, which dubbed him “Australia’s rudest repairman”. Cockburn claimed the story greatly injured his character, credit and reputation and brought into public hatred, ridicule and contempt, and has asked the court to force Nine to take the story down from Facebook and various websites and to be permanently ban the network from republishing the story.

Nah, in true ACA style they’ll repeat it with a small percentage of new content.

It wasn’t an attempt at a year in review as some here might have thought.
ACA asked viewers last week to send in your favourite photos of your year,considering what we all have been going through with COVID some of the shots from viewers were very touching.
Tracy said at the end of the report “It feels like more than 9 months doesn’t it, what a great collection and you can see more of your photos in our online gallery just head to our website.”
