The Pacific Championship final looks to be going to provide a great lead in to Sydney/Melbourne news. At 5:57 there are 3 minutes to go with even a potential draw at full time (donât think Nine would like that).
Edit - wonât be a draw but will run past 6pm
Advised to switch to 9Gem though that hasnât happened.
6:03 - full time - news starts immediately across the east coast.
5:03pm

Any indication that Adelaide and Perth might get the curved desk upgrade?
Doubt they would get it since Brisbane hasnât got it either.
Sydney was getting a new studio, and Melbourne was introducing a new duo which occurred at the same time as a relaunch of the look.
Yes we do.

Pete Overton throwing to the break and trying to pronounce âaçaiâ was just hilarious. Referred to it as Asahi the Japanese beer and said âI buy heaps of the other stuff for my teenage daughtersâ.

What purpose does/would it serve? Just a waste of money

Same argument could be made for Melbourne and Brisbane. Sydney got a new desk because after the move out of Willoughby to North Sydney, Today would be using the news set.
What purpose does it serve in Melbourne and Brisbane?

Agree that there was no purpose for those upgrades and that it was a waste of money for them too.

âBrendan will then act in the role until we finalise the recruitment process to ensure stability in leadership during this time.â

Sacked Nine news boss Amanda Paterson calls in the lawyers
The Australian article also mentions
A Current Affairâs Queensland bureau chief Kate Donnison will act as news director on a short-term basis until executive producer Brendan Hockings returns from annual leave.
Insiders told Nine that the decision to put Donnison in the role temporarily had resulted in staff in Brisbaneâs news team being âoverlookedâ for the position, and had âput noses out of jointâ.
Staff at Nine have also been given a stern warning by management to not reveal any information to the media about matters relating to the cultural review.
The missive sent to staff on Thursday, seen by The Australian, told employees: âThe report told us that leaking information is a tactic used to abuse power or authority and this behaviour will not be tolerated at Nine.â
