Nine News Content and Appearance

Nine seems to win most afternoons; quite comprehensively.

Doubt theyā€™d want to risk losing that audience. Unless they think they can gain more from 10 News First.

Something to do with Hot Seat rating well in Sydney, canā€™t remember well. Also, one of the reasons NRL is on the main channel in Melbourne is ā€œto boost ratings for NRLā€

Also the current successor for Hitch is still Alicia Loxley, Hitch personally said he would like her to take over.

which one are you?

What pillar?

This blue thing is the pillar that supports the foundation on the building. It is on the bottom floor of the building. Not as easy as removing it as then the building will crumble down.

Ah, so thatā€™s what that is.

This has been mentioned in other areas but not the Nine News thread. Previously was on Juice.

It seems that TCN usually starts the sport segment 10 minutes earlier than other stations around Nine at 6:35PM, and ends it at 6:45PM, where GTV etc. are just starting it. In between sport and weather is another News segment. How long has this been going for?

Ah alright. It seems that GTV, QTQ, NWS and NTD have sport at 6:45-6:55, while TCN and STW have sport at 6:35-6:45, and another News segment before weather.

NBN however looks to have sport from 6:35 to 6:55, to fit in the local sport window.

Melbourne used the same rundown as TCN when the new set first launched. Did prefer it like that with the additional news block.

Yes they have an ad break before the last of the generic sports segment.

Mistake in Sydney tonight for the lead story. The graphic in the screen didnā€™t fit. Also it looked like the opening shot didnā€™t recall properly - was quite jarring.

Nine News Queensland having a few graphics issues this evening, and no text on opener supers.

Weird beeping during sports segment too

New 9 Trade News backdrop in Melbourne tonight.

Finance and Petrol then to an ad break. Usually itā€™s after the ad breakā€¦

Been like that in Sydney for a while to accommodate the sponsored countdown clock to the weather.

Was it done by Chris Kohler? Overton did the finance in Sydney tonight and had a Sandra Sully moment while reading out petrol prices.
