Audio issues on Nine News Sydney tonight.
The audio levels at the start of each report and live cross has been consistently low, and needs turning up. Still a lot softer than Peterâs audio level when turned up.
Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again, Nine News needs to commission a properly updated version of their theme music rather than continuing to re-edit one thatâs 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. Thatâs 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 donât 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 anywayâŚ
During a report on Grace Brennan (who founded the âBuy from the Bushâ 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 itâs the kind of thing Media Spyers notice!

During tonightâs bulletin, we got to see the updated âBreaking Newsâ transition graphic not just once but twice!
Hereâs a cap of that, along with one of a âBreaking Newsâ Live Cross Graphic:

Noticed former NBN sports anchor and reporter Samuel Djodan (pronounced Jaw-darn) was filing reports for Nine from the AO.

What Iâm still struggling to understand is how Nine News Queensland gets away with some of their questionable âSpecial Reportsâ.
At least some of the âSpecial Reportsâ which air on Nine News Sydney are of some journalistic significance, such as tonightâs piece from Elizabeth Daniels which looked into the deporable state of Circular Quay ferry wharves below the surface.

Exactly why I hate watching these commercial news offerings.

The novelty of them does wear off, but still Iâd rather have them than not.
Shows that stations put a bit of effort into their presentation, it would look a bit bland with nothing else than just plain text.

You shouldnât need bells and whistles as distractions when presenting news.

It screams tabloid and dumbs down the audience. Nine (especially QTQ) seem to be more interested in their egoâs these days and this walking whilst talking rubbish makes me want to vomit.

Loving the new regional graphics. Changes are nice, but still boring as hell.
