Gotta say, 9’s static afternoon backdrop from QTQ is really quite jarring. Today is probably the first day in about a month that it’s actually somewhat similar to what the reality is, and even then, it looks like lunch time while the sun is setting outside.
Personally, I think they need to use a live shot (or at least a loop) that reflects the actual weather. I really wish they’d do something similar to TCN and have a different live shot to change it up a bit.
Keep the current live shot for 6pm, but surely they can do better than an outdated static image with the wrong weather.

Whats their view like from their office? Is QTQ office in the city? Maybe they can setup their own camera if the view is decent enough
QTQ is on Mt Coot-tha. But that wouldn’t stop them having a second skycam somewhere else. I’ve always thought that one in Milton looking down the river would look really good in the afternoon. And it’s less formal than the full city shot they use at 6.

On tonight’s Sydney bulletin:
Damien Ryan did his entire report at the desk looking at the wrong camera.
A report that was so exclusive they tagged it twice.

Looks like content changes have begun in Melbourne.
After finance Pete briefly touched on petrol prices around the suburbs.
Can’t ever remember the Melbourne bulletin going over petrol prices (unless of course if it was a feature story)

Yes, I also noticed some changes implemented tonight… it will be interesting to see what GTV9 will do in the coming weeks to claw back the massive rating drop.

Melbourne totally fucked up the graphics for the breaking news of Albo’s new ministry.
Has anyone here switched from Nine News Melbourne to Seven News Melbourne in recent months and if so, why?

I’ve done the reverse. I’ve watched a bit of both since moving to Melbourne. But am traditionally a 7 boi - born and bred with Sue & Rick but I can’t handle Mitch and his ‘woodeness’ as main presenter. Hitch is much more pleasing to watch.

Now all that’s left would be for 10 News First to convert to these microphones. Question is - when?

I recall someone else referring to them as “socks”.
They look like they would keep my feet really nice and warm on these cold winter nights.
Please Nine can I order a pair?
