The latest 5 episodes are on 9Now. They are not permanently on there, so make sure to watch them before they expire.
They most likely will be available on 9Now during finals footy @David.
If Nine were smart, they can put A Current Affair on 9GEM or 9Go during the footy finals
Theyād rather have the eyes on the NRL that night. This isnāt a case where complementary programming works. Itās where Nine is removing an option for viewers to essentially narrow their choice and make them more likely to opt for league.

ACA is far from the best show on TV, so Iām not overly fussed about missing out on an episode due to NRL coverage.
To answer my own question, yes, even if ACA didnāt screen in your market you can still view tonight (and tomorrowās) program on 9Now.
Nine News Melbourneās Seb Costello is joining ACA as a reporter from tomorrow (October 5). He will continue to be part of Triple M Hot Breakfast team.

Isnāt a job on ACA like being demoted from real news?

Could be taken both ways.
He is now going national by joining A Current Affair.
But the question these days is whatās the plum role? Local or national recognition.

Going from reporting on murders on primetime news in one of Australiaās bigggest cities to chasing āscumbagsā over a love affair is definitely a demotion. Quite embarrassing actually, and Iām not sure how that justifies an article in the newspaper either.

Personally donāt think ACA internally at Nine is seen as such a downgrade as public may think. The other thing is it gives reporter more flexibility to cover long form stories and could be seen as stepping stone into occasional 60 Minute stories.

I donāt think anyone would want to be taken off 6pm though. Sam Cucchiara has only been hosed, punched and spat on since being moved to ACA. No offence, but the last success story to come from ACA was Ben Fordham 10 years ago.
Tom Steinfort has had a pretty good run.

I agree with you. Not somewhere I would like to work. But I donāt think itās thought of a dumping ground for reporters within industry. They do have some big names there.

Disagree. Given Daddy is Chairman of the Nine board youād hardly think Seb would be forced to eat a shit sandwich if he didnāt want it. Perhaps this role offers him more flexibility and work life balance considering his Triple M duties.
I know people here like to look down their noses at ACA but they still do some worthwhile reporting. Plenty of Nineās respected news journos have taken the opportunity to try a style of reporting that canāt be done in two minute packages for the 6pm news. Simon Bouda, Dimity Clancey, Steve Marshall, Danielle Post amongst them.
