Another Nine Entertainment director has reportedly exited the company.
On Wednesday afternoon, the media giant confirmed to Mumbrella that its Sydney news director, Simon Hobbs, will depart this week.
Hobbs has worked as director of news in Sydney since 2012.

What the hell is going on?
Was everyone sleeping with Darren? 
They’ve lost their QLD and SYD news directors both within the space of a week?!
I would say both have been removed due to certain allegations occurring while in charge. To what they are, we don’t know.
“Nine can confirm further leadership changes were communicated to its TV News division today,” a Nine spokesperson said.
“An internal and external recruitment process is now underway for News Directors in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.”
Melbourne News boss Hugh Nailon will reportedly be taking on expanded responsibilities.
Another senior executive, speaking anonymously, said no further senior departures from the news division were expected.
Wonder if they could do what 10 does and just have a national news directors, then local ‘editors’?
Surely Jeremy Pudney in Adelaide would be on the chopping block too, numerous years in the gig but no impact.
No doubt - guy before him was given a few years after Nine brought the station before he was axed
Adelaide and Perth have always been difficult markets for Nine News to crack when Seven News has been the top-rating service in those markets nearly every year this century. Not only that, there’s also the loyalty factor that leans towards Seven.
In the City of Churches, Nine’s struggles have continued even after John Riddell (in 2019) and Jane Doyle (2022) retired from the Seven News desk.
yeah
Morning News opened with headlines this morning.
Anything with the presser on 7 or 10?
Shown on 7 in Sydney and Melbourne; not on 10 live but first in the afternoon news.
Glad to see headlines reintroduced to the bulletin.
There has been no change to the Melbourne bulletin.
Brisbane 4pm had the headlines.
Is this a mock??
Not enough banners and visual pollution. I can see some spare gaps there.
