I wonder if Nine News will get a make over from July one or thereafter? It’s been a while since they last updated the graphics.
With major affiliation changes on a regional level looming, I personally think that Nine will keep it’s current branding (both in news and generally) mostly intact for at least a few months after the WIN to SCA changeover.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see Nine News receive a branding evolution sometime this year but I think that seems highly unlikely now.
Didn’t ‘ReadItFirst’ say there’d be a relaunch coming a few months ago?
There will be a Nine News special on the 2016 Budget Tuesday 10pm.

I personally think that Nine made the right decision. Definitely from a content perspective too, unlike Seven News Sydney who lead with the news of the Parramatta Eels Salary Cap Breach in the NRL!
[/quote]Anyway, I have never ever liked OB for news bulletins- degrades the rest of the days news, IMO. Obviously I can’t comment on the content but doesn’t Seven News Sydney usually target the western suburbs anyway? Explains why a sports story leads a bulletin (sport stays in sport IMO).
I am a bit surprised that the OB for Nine’s budget special that is on right now isn’t in HD.
I’m not so sure about Nine’s OB equipment but I don’t think that any of Nine’s facilities in Canberra are in HD, hence the always very SD-looking footage on pre-packaged news reports from there.
Yeah I know re Parliament House footage and Laurie Oakes reports that are usually pretty average looking SD.
But it always seems to be OBs that are more likely to be HD given “all” it needs is a HD truck, of which there are plenty around.
Major Errors on Sydney’s Opener:

Yes, there were a few other errors in the Sydney bulletin tonight:
-
The lighting on one side of the set went out at one point, meaning one side of his face was very bright and dim on the other side.
-
The wrong weather graphic was displayed during the mid bulletin weather update, it had the 7 day outlook graphic when the day’s temps should have appeared.
Other noted, Neil Breen presented sport, and Vicky Jardim presented weather, both of which are unusual.

[/quote] Looks like the presentation wasn’t the only bad thing of the night. Anyone manage to get a montage of tonights bulletin, please?
I completely forgot, the regular presenters are probably at the Logies!

An article from Mumbrella that I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned here yet: https://mumbrella.com.au/9-news-ratings-continue-to-rise-despite-60-minutes-affair-365683
Especially in the Sydney market, I personally believe that one of the reasons that the ratings of Nine News has been on the increase lately (apart from the obvious reasoning of it now getting darker/cooler earlier in the evening as well as the NRL lead-in on Sundays) is because of Seven News’ instability at the moment.

Nine News seems to be like an NRL commentary bulletin half the time anyway so it perfectly suits plenty of Sydney viewers 
An extremely poorly written article. A few comments. Not a very good start when some of the numbers quoted are incorrect. Secondly, you could just as easily analyse Seven and Ten News over the same period and conclude that their ratings have improved. But the worst part is the selective choice of numbers to suit the argument.
Here is just one example:
Results showed a 995,143 daily average for Nine News and a 956,600 daily average for Nine News at 6:30pm. This increased to a daily average of 999,571 and 1,025,600, respectively, the following week.
The “following week” in this case included the public holiday ANZAC day when ratings for all news bulletins were significantly higher than usual.
Also no mention that the first week quoted saw Seven News record its highest ratings result for the year.

The ‘numbers’ they are quoting to support their argument are relatively insignificant too when considering a general upward trend like they are claiming
