I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Nine News needs to commission a properly updated version of their theme music rather than continuing to re-edit one that’s now been in use for 12 years. I mean honestly, Nine News has been through at least three set eras and six graphics packages since 2008. That’s before you take into consideration how the theme music is now being used in ways (headline bed during updates, at the top of the hour on radio stations) it was never originally intended to be used in.
Sure, I understand and accept all the reasons why Nine don’t want to completely move away from such an iconic tune. But is the current version of the music suitable for usage across TV, radio and online in 2020? Not in my personal opinion anyway…
During a report on Grace Brennan (who founded the “Buy from the Bush” campaign), Nine Sydney mentioned how she was from the town of Warren, but then showed footage of Dubbo.
Not a big deal by any means, but it’s the kind of thing Media Spyers notice!
What I’m still struggling to understand is how Nine News Queensland gets away with some of their questionable “Special Reports”.
At least some of the “Special Reports” which air on Nine News Sydney are of some journalistic significance, such as tonight’s piece from Elizabeth Daniels which looked into the deporable state of Circular Quay ferry wharves below the surface.
It screams tabloid and dumbs down the audience. Nine (especially QTQ) seem to be more interested in their ego’s these days and this walking whilst talking rubbish makes me want to vomit.
Well that’s to be expected. They’ve hardly updated any of the regional profile pictures/cover photos, even thought it seems like a pretty easy job . They don’t pay much attention to the regional social media pages, that I’m aware of. .
