Nine News Content and Appearance (2015-Sept 2020)

:anguished::anguished:
Oh dear!

I always thought the “NBN News” sign offs were added in locally at NBN since its sometimes quite obvious that they’ve edited it, particularly when the reporter has done it “on camera” on the Nine News report.

the NBN signoffs are just plain awful, and they don’t even try to make it sound decent… recent example being Andrew Lund… it’s just “Andrew Lund, NBN News” but it doesn’t have an ended, it’s been cut off from his days in London so you almost hear the “L” after “news”… a big hard-cut.

Lizzie Pearl doesn’t even sound similar in her report than she does in the sign off.

Then you have all the Melbourne and most Brisbane reporters who don’t have sign offs… it’s a mess.

Just sign off with Nine News on ALL reports (even local) and be done with it.

Would have been good if Melbourne followed Sydney, and had the end tag of being Melbourne’s #1 news. I can’t recall a time where Nine in Melbourne have used the term

Personally I prefer the promos we get for Nine News here in Sydney, but I’m biased. That said, the promo for Nine News Melbourne posted above is quite decent! :slight_smile:

I’m pretty sure that Nine Melbourne were promoting their news as “Melbourne’s #1” for many years, which became “Melbourne’s Best” when Seven started beating them in the ratings.

Quite a good promo.

“Always on” just doesn’t make sense! I’ve always thought that.

I think that it’s in reference to having an online presence, ie even if the news isn’t being broadcast on tv - stories are still broken online

The “Always On” slogan is/was used as a tie-in with 9News.com.au (the supers shown at the end of bulletins and updates promote 9News.com.au and the “Always On” tagline side by side) and promos such as this and this. Although admittedly, the point is probably clearer in those website promos compared to standard promos for the 6pm bulletin.

I get that but I think the line in the promo is something like… “always there and always on”. ?? Sounds weird.

I also think it was used as a response to Seven’s Everywhere campaign IIRC

Interesting.

Nine Perth prepares to move into new CBD studio

AFTER 51 years in Dianella, Channel Nine Perth is gearing up to move into its new state-of-the-art CBD studios.

It will cover 2500sq m across three interconnected buildings and is on track to begin broadcasting in mid-September.

The hub will be an outdoor area, called Nine Plaza, with a public viewing window into the news studio, a first for Perth.

To go along with the prime location, the station will switch to an entirely new fully automated system with “robotic cameras”.

When Nine Perth moves into it’s new studios mid-next month, are we expecting a new news set or just the old one from Dianella to be trucked over to Nine Plaza?

In any case…while Nine News’ current branding has aged rather well, knowing how both Seven and Ten have refreshed their news branding in recent times and that there’s been credible talk about how ABC News is contemplating branding changes in the not too distant future, I do think Nine News will have to seriously consider a refresh to their On-Air Presentation soon in any case.

Nine News is currently going through a transitional phase. New studios in Perth, establishing regional news services and within the next few years or so, a move away from “the birthplace of Australian television” to new Sydney studios. To paraphrase a line that I’ve used in relation to Seven News in the past: As Nine News changes, so too should the branding of the news service! :wink:

As much as I would like to see a shiny new set (that would also be brought to the east), I’m expecting the same situation that happened in Adelaide.

When they moved Melboure they built a new set (albeit of the same design) and were rehersing with it and the new gear for about a week before they moved across.

FYI The old desk from Melbourne went to Darwin.
