Here’s the rewind promo

I must say, I’m REALLY looking forward to this.

This would be a great thing for Nine’s other O&O to take notes from!

Just caught Nine news on NBN for a few seconds and now NBN News is on.

Reporter has Nine Co tee on, with a NBN flag.

Yeah I saw that too. Switching error most likely

And again I’m sure the picture quality is once again improved.

Any caps? Possibly being controlled from Nine now?

I’m recording the whole thing, I’ll put one up if I can.

Switched from 7News to NBN for the weather segment as usual on weekends, but only caught the very end of it today and there was a highlights package for Jane Goldsmith.

Was worried that she was retiring - but turns out it was to celebrate 20 years with NBN! Hopefully they will post it online.

Jane started as a casual with PRIME Newcastle in 2000, and then joined NBN News, where she has been ever since. A nice article here:

Has been for a few weeks I believe.

Video of the Rewind plus Jane Goldsmith closer

Nine reporter James Wilson crossed live into the bulletin from Putty last night:

Is the music used in the closer their normal music?

Also, fuck that set is old!

Am I the only one who finds the Rewind segment a bit underdone?

I kinda assumed they’d do a 3-4 minute piece with interviews of long time/former presenters, journos, staff and crew and have someone like Ray Dineen narrate it to give it the nostalgia vibe.

Yes kinda like Seven News Brisbane with their “Flashback” segment. Go deep into the archives and interview people in the current day talking about the story. Seems a bit more thought is needed.

Yes, you probably don’t get to hear that much of it during a closer these days though!

Wow, that’s old. Surely they would have used the national one (or a version thereof) by now?

While probably not as fresh as it was in 2014, I personally think NBN News’ theme music is the only element of their current branding which is actually more modern than Nine’s!

It’ll be interesting to see (or more to the point, hear) whether after the move they keep the current theme music, bring in a new/updated version or just run Nine’s.

Nine themself need to update their theme. While its certainly not terrible, its just feeling a bit outdated now. I’ve always liked how 10 update their theme with each package (for the most part). Keeps it fresh.
