So why are Nine reporting on it? 
This is not ideal at allā¦

Yet again, should we really be surprised when you consider who QTQās news director is?!
A pity that Amanda Patterson isnāt on Twitter, because itād be great to see her cop some heat (within reason of course) for very questionable Nine News Queensland content decisions.

They get hounded by people on Twitter who donāt understand that they have to complain to the network/Free TV Australia first. Perhaps a sign that self-regulation needs a re-think.

No. And I donāt believe they even acknowledged it in the bulletin which is even worse.

Meh, it happens. Itās actually a very easy mistake to make - 1 wrong file and youāve got a stuff up.
They recovered and there was no real harm done.

Some food for thought.
Donāt know if this has been discussed yet, but when Nine moves into their new North Sydney headquarters, what will they do with the current Sydney news set?
I reckon they might build, or are building, an exact replica of the current Sydney news set at North Sydney, and then what would happen with the current set at Willoughby is that it would be dismantled (when Nine moves to North Sydney) and then shipped to NBN Television studios in Newcastle, and they can inherit it (it would then have to be rebuilt).
Currently, NBN News has the old Nine News Queensland set. I donāt know if the studio dimensions will allow for them to inherit the current Sydney set.

NBN have sold the property. I believe it is rumoured they will be moving in to North Sydney at some point?

Iāve gotta imagine an entirely new building Rather than a 50 year old one allows for some pretty significant technology upgrades.
A new set might look similar but around the world when broadcasters move like this they rebuild the entire fire out with new technology (even if it has the same look design)
Would be great to see old set go to Newcastle

Guess I sometimes get lost in all the stuff that is mentioned here!
They have sold their property though, right? Or was that unconfirmed too.

Itās sold and they will be moving.
Yes itās a chance they could move the entire thing to Sydney.
But NBN has always been run as an outsider post. NNNSW the 4th largest TV market - bigger than Perth. Theyād employ quite a few people in Newcastle
If there are significant Cost savings it will move to Sydney. But office space and salaries in Sydney are significantly more expensive

Take it with them.

Considering the crazy amount of money that curved video wall wouldāve cost, theyāll be taking it with them.
When Nine Adelaide moved from North Adelaide to the CBD they set up a TOSS-style temporary set (which only had the one presenter angle) while the set was moved to their new studios over a weekend.
One of the other studios at Willoughby will likely be used to continue presenting a less flashy version of the news while the set is moved to North Sydney. They might need longer than a single weekend though.

With the current Nine News Sydney set being just over three and a half years old (and will be closer to four years old by the time of the move), Iām personally hoping thereāll be a new or at the very least, significantly refreshed set for North Sydney.
But if the existing Studio 21 news set is to be transported down the road, do we think thereās a chance that the side videowalls will be removed (or repurposed for use elsewhere) so the Sydney set looks like QTQās? Because letās face facts here - TCN has mainly stuck to Queensland-like usage of the set over the last couple of years.

Given that their previous set lasted 8 years, I canāt see them replacing this set any time soon.
If anything, they might spruce it up a little bit to make it more multi-purpose for Today (etc), but other than that I reckon the general look will be relatively unchanged.

Iām sure itās been discussed upthread, but when and why did Nine Adelaide move their afternoon news to 5pm from 4pm?
