I haven’t seen Nine do place names in this style before (as per “Taree” text below).
To me eyes, it doesn’t fit with the rest of the graphics package.

I think they culled the headline recap on Sydney 6pm during the first wave of COVID (March,April2020) never returned…

Nine running local news in Queensland at 5pm again today. Interesting decision regarding major local story about a shooting at Surfers Paradise; electing to only show recorded vision and cross to the scene only in the 6pm news.

Queensland - coverage focused of torrential rain that is falling in SEQ incl the well-used red breaking news opener plus a report from Sydney. We did get the cross to Surfers Paradise as promised as well.

The transition of those swirl graphics look better there than the finished product.

Looks like Melbourne might be getting a minor set refresh tonight judging from that?
Hopefully they tweak the dreadful blue lighting!

Nine Melbourne has copied Seven with the huge “See the full story at 6PM graphic” during updates.
They must be real nervous after the ratings over the last 2 weeks.
EDIT (6PM): No changes

Haven’t watched the 6pm bulletins in a while. Is the crash-zoom intro new?
Since the introduction of this package in Jan 2020. Not new.

Ah.
It looks shit.

They need to localise the openers. It feels a little bland with the generic titlecards. And yes the crash zoom isn’t great.

It’s possible I may be missing some missing detail when making this post, but some interesting decisions between Seven and Nine in Melbourne.
Seven is opening with the NSW floods, like yesterday - the story on the protestors later in the bulletin.
Meanwhile, Nine seems quite the opposite, opening with breaking news on those fighting for climate change, with not much mention of the floods situation in the bulletin today or yesterday, as far as I’m aware.
What do you think, and I’d be willing to know which story you would rather start the bulletin.
