Nine News Content and Appearance

Also did they start midway through the first headline?

In NSW, VIC and TAS, Nine News is being delayed so that the 5th set tiebreaker of the Hurkacz v Korda match can be shown in its entirety.

Delayed by less than 5 minutes. News started 1 or 2 minutes late.

Seems like Melbourne has completely ditched the standing presentation at the start of the bulletin. Been seated all week.
Honestly looks better like this imo

Meanwhile Nine News Queensland has been finishing before 7pm this week so they can slot in a MAFS promo before going to the tennis. :astonished:

As far as this caption goes - let’s hope not.

Another change I noticed in tonight’s Melbourne bulletin:
They are now using a much tighter shot on Hitch for stories with videowall graphics.
Not a fan again. Much preferred the looser shot they used back when they first launched the set.

Interesting. I too prefer the looser shot.

Maybe reverting back to a traditional news framing/composition? Odd

As do I, but I think Director’s like to make a habit of going to tighter shots for more serious stories/bulletins like the shooting above, which is understandable.

I wonder what makes the director decide to throw in this angle from the left for the Sydney opener every couple of weeks as seen tonight and 2 weeks ago.


90% of openers seem to be programmed from the right.

About the same proportions as their political coverage probably…

Probably sponsored by whichever cruise ship that is docked in the background of both shots.

Like this opening shot?

Every single time I see the Sydney desk it always looks 95% finished. They really need to add the light strips that it looks like they prepared for but then never bothered to install.

Hot Seat was on going into Nine News at 6pm.

It seems they have the curtain open out front as there seems to be extra light in the studio today.

They’ve been doing that for a while now.

Ah, TV guide said there was a bulletin at 5:30pm
