News boss backs succession plans at Nine | TV Tonight

@Darren Wick

I’m fairly confident about where we are this year. Our news on the East Coast is performing well. Adelaide has closed the margin and I really like what’s happening over there. Perth with Michael Thomson as the new reader has been getting good numbers.

The one-hour has helped us a lot, especially on the East Coast. Before that Sydney & Melbourne (bulletins) were getting blown away by the lead-in from Seven. Wherever we are pretty close we tend to get away with a pretty solid win, that reassures me we have a strong news brand still.

Yes we want the news up there but with the graphics sometimes we need to take it a little bit slower. Our motto is First on Nine but I would rather we were right every time. Or both.

A fair evaluation there. I just hope he makes the changes.
