Another imbecile wore the same type of uniform from the same company and was torn to shreds by a judge when they wore it to court.
Just shows how many idiots work or used to work for that certian company.
The judge tore the uniform to shreds??
That sounds funny even though it wouldnât be true. I knew what you meant though.

Thatâs certain. 
Just some observations from todayâs NBN News from the Gold Coast.
Far North Coast stories creeping into the Gold Coast windows even though thereâs plenty of Nine Gold Coast News stories to fill. Nobody cares about surf conditions in Byron Bay! Gold Coast has itâs own beaches! And the Paul Lobb intro into a story âOur city is looking forward to the Commonwealth Gamesâ in an attempt that itâs a locally produced bulletin.
Also LOLed at the "Football coming up after A Current Affair but went straight to Friday Night Football. Daylight Savings strikes again.

I know it wonât be an issue after tomorrow night and that the chances of it happening at all anytime soon are very slim to none, but personally I think NBN should be presenting a completely new bulletin (local windows, national/international content with QLD stories replacing NSW onesâŚthe lot) for the Gold Coast during DST down South.
For the number of viewers that NBN would attract up there, doing a QLD based bulletin during DST isnât going to be worth it. Not with a name like NBN which has very strong Newcastle and Northern NSW connotations.
I think they should replay Nine Gold Coast News at 6pm and Nine Queensland News at 6.30pm on NBN/Nine Gold Coast (Channel 8). Act a time shift. Too many commuters still travelling at 5.30pm to watch the local news and it be a point of difference to Seven.
This whole NBN thing should be treated differently is just bull dust in sub markets like Gold Coast.

Did you see much evidence of Newcastle region content up there?
âŚor sometimes gets confused with that other thing known as NBN! 
That sounds like an OK idea, provided that itâs made reasonably clear to the viewer that theyâre watching a delayed telecast on Channel 8/80.

Occasionally yes but itâs mostly a mixture of Nine Gold Coast News, NBN Far North Coast (Lismore area) and NBN North Coast (Coffs Harbour area) stories. Weekdays they can cherry pick from Nine Gold Coast News but weekends are slim pickings as NBN doesnât have that option. Itâs more possible to get a story from Newcastle on a weekend but have seen the occasional John Hunter Hospital or some Newcastle centric story on the non-localised feed.
Tbh, I donât watch a lot of NBN News but it happened to be on.

I agree with idea, NBN should done that years ago.
But they seem to have a curious aversion to the Nina News brand, they cover it up at almost every opportunity they get. It actually makes WINâs cover up efforts seen quite tame.

To be fair, before I started taking an interest in news, I always thought that NBN was presented from Lismore. It just seemed so local! It was a big shock to find out it actually came up all the way from NewcastleâŚ
And on another note, at a friendâs house on the Gold Coast, at six oâclock they switched on the news⌠straight to NBN. It seems many of us just canât go past NBN!

NBN failed to mention at the end of tonightâs bulletin that their own Jane Goldsmith would be presenting the Early News.
As usual, they just said their next news would be in the Today Show, which of course is incorrect.

Itâs been years NBN. Why wonât you mention the Early News by either âNineâs Early Newsâ or just âthe early newsâ (if they still donât want a Nine stain on NBN News)?

NBN News have done a LiVE cross to Alex Heinke at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast!
First time Iâve seen them do a live cross to a location outside Newcastle.

Yes here is the pic. First time I have seen it too.
That reporter is a Gold Coast Reporter representing both stations (NBN and 9 Gold Coast)
The most interesting thing is he went out of his way to use an NBN News mic flag. I guess that is very important to have a difference between 9 and NBN in a market with both stations
His twitter specifically says he resprents both stations.
I hope we get to see more live crosses outside of Newcastle

Alex used to report for NBN in Newcastle. He only lasted a few months before being promoted
