It is indeed, thanks:
Launch with Darren and Alison

But of course, Nine News Sydney (and also Seven News Sydney, to be fair) basically treats it’s Sunday night bulletin as if it’s a weekday broadcast these days.

Obviously because of the NRL lead-in, Nine wins Sunday in Sydney easily and with Pete Overton on deck, makes for a convincing thrashing.

It needs an ALDI super or watermark and a couple of ALDI shopping bags on the desk next to Andrew.

It’s so they can iron out any problems before Monday- when they have to air local Morning, Afternoon, Gold Coast and 6pm News.

Have been off the grid for a few weeks and disappointing to see NTD axing their Darwin presented news. Any word on what will happen with Jono Uptin? Given the news will now come from Queensland, the irony is that TNQ once produced news for their competitor Seven Darwin (now SCTV)
