I think that Nine wants to be seen as a news heavy network and really, they actually air 11.5 hours of news/current affairs programing each weekday when you include all the various bulletins plus Today, Today Extra & ACA.
Unless/until we hear otherwise, I personally think that NSW and Victoria (as well as Tasmania & Darwin, we can’t forget them!) will probably continue to get the current semi-national edition produced from Sydney on Monday but with the new branding.
That said, I would really like to see either Seven or Nine do a proper Sydney edition of the Afternoon News at some point.
9 really need to update Sydney live backdrop. Quality is so bad compared to what 7 has. Don’t know if it is the screen or the camera quality. Whatever it is, it is bad!
Thanks, I didn’t know about the studying. I have never really understood the logic of employing her though.[quote=“TheHubMan, post:2485, topic:67”]
Lee Steele should get the gig. She’s STW’s best presenter imo.
[/quote] I second that and she is due back from ML (unless she has already returned) so fingers-crossed. Remember, Steele did the short-lived local Morning News for Perth and would be a perfect fit.
Promo looks bloody great and the set is amazing, Peter looks like a natural in & around that set… who knew he’d be so adept to being in such a large advanced and technological workspace.
