Yep…
Yet it still rated better than 10 News First “Adelaide”.

Funny that people would rather watch Melbourne news than watch 10 News at 5pm.

It would be interesting to see what the 6pm news ratings would be in Perth if it ever happened to Channel 7 there.

People will probably turn off their TVs since they don’t know other channels exist!

Also seemed to flow on to the rest of the night where Channel 10 in Adelaide outrated Channel 9 - total people and key demos.

I’m intrigued as to if other 9 stations have had dramas with ENPS recently. clearly if they have they haven’t been as severe as Adelaide since everyone else is still able to produce content but the system is network wide so who knows…
I’m also surprised that staff haven’t been trained in how to manually control the bulletin. Obviously it’s unlikely to happen regularly but for the odd occasion where software changes, its a worthwhile skill.

I don’t know if the automation allows a full manual control of bulletin to be honest.

Mosart does allow semi-manual control for things like rolling coverage or election programmes.
Being controlled out of Sydney is a bit worrying. ENPS itself or the link between Mosart and ENPS must’ve crashed really badly last night.

Did I just see some new style lower thirds slip through during the first story on the afternoon news?

I noticed it too, managed to grab a shot of it (sorry for the poor quality)
It has since gone back to the regular lower thirds.

Looks great. And about 3 times smaller than 7’s mess.
Odd one. Doesn’t really look like the type of thing which is meant for TV (its too small).

It’s almost too small for TV screens. And it’s misaligned so it doesn’t look fantastic if it’s part of a refresh.
Obviously not a test pattern. There are a few options. Darwin is on the same time zone so you can air that bulletin in full live. This also first happened whilst STW was producing their 5pm. So, air their 5pm bulletin in both states and you get your 2mins of AFL coverage too. Perth 6pm is unaffected.
Personally, if it was possible, I would have replayed the 20 mins of the Adelaide 5pm News that did go to air again at 6ish. Then either take ACA live or intercept live into Darwin (who’d be onto their national/international coverage).
I know. But Nine is now in a position where they can’t use the “they’ve switched to Melbourne” line in their promos anymore. It’s been their only selling point.
The audience won’t remember the reason for the once off but they will remember the event.
But, but, but… Nine is the BLUE network!
