doesn’t really sound good to me. talking about ‘shifting’ stan originals to more reality and not much talk about drama.
It says very early on re drama:
This year we will see an increase in that number including some from the team at Nine.

yeah… 2 already announced and nothing else so far.
Sure, details may be light so far but they’ve previously committed to a lot of of drama and you’ve got the big boss saying right there that there will be an increase.

Old divisions at Nine still show as journalists question The Age and SMH editorial judgment
Senior journalists at Nine Entertainment are publicly questioning the editorial judgments at the media company’s two biggest print assets, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, following the newspapers’ decision to give little or no coverage to Anthony Albanese’s widely publicised slip-up on a key policy last week.
Despite the Labor leader’s gaffe – he was unsure about the details of his party’s six-point plan for the National Disability Insurance Scheme – attracting prominent coverage on ABC radio and television, across the nation’s commercial TV networks and in News Corp publications, The Age did not run a single word about the incident in its news pages.
The SMH ran a small six-paragraph story on page 5. Every other major metropolitan newspaper in Australia ran the story prominently in their news pages.
On Friday morning, with the issue dominating radio talkback, Nine’s 3AW mornings host, Neil Mitchell, criticised company stablemate The Age for not running any stories on Mr Albanese’s NDIS error in its print edition.
“The Age doesn’t think the NDIS stuff-up was worth putting into the paper today,” he said.

makes sense I guess
Ninemsn has been a thing for a very long time
seven and yahoo were paired together for a long time (yahoo is just bing as well but branded differently)
Pretty sensible marketing decision. Dotty + Numeral 9 is a much more recognisable logo than Dotty + “Nine”.

The “Nine” logo is really their corporate brand anyway.

The front page looks good but whats the point when if you click anything it reverts back to the old design for pretty much every page.
