Obviously they’re focussing on the bulletin itseelf, however come end of year as a market or total market splits (Queensland / Brisbane / regional Queensland)… Think Seven News with the former and latter would be very much in the game, thanks to 7LocalNews on 7QLD regional. In fact, probably well out in front.
Melbourne.
Nine’s Sydney and Brisbane bulletins will start slightly late tonight. Looks like less than 30 seconds so not enough for most viewers to notice who might switch over at the top of the hour.
Looks like Nine Adelaide’s afternoon updates were done from the studio - Alice Monfries had the usual city backdrop, and a different mic. Updates just before six featured both her and Will McDonald at the royal show studio, with the show backdrop, and different mic.
Nine covered the death of Nicole Kidman’s mother tonight… I don’t really see how that is meant to be news.
So did Seven - full report and everything. Guess it was a slow news day ![]()

Shame Nine isn’t covering the events outside of Sydney and Brisbane.
In 2016, Seven did coverage for Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
A look at some of 9’s automated studio tech.
What’s wrong with the stinger with the bulletins coming out of Sydney. The theme cuts off completely and then the stinger plays. Quite jarring.
My guess is there is a delay with the timing on the computer to cue the theme.
Weird, it’s only been the last week or so. Surprised they haven’t picked up on it.
