Nine News Content and Appearance (2015-Sept 2020)

Any news on when the new set will appear in Brisbane? My understanding is that it was getting built hence why they moved the old set into a different studio.

Really? haha. I guess you need to live in LA and know the roads and areas then it all makes sense. Basically she’s telling you the freeways that are jammed and have lane closures and alternate routes so you know to avoid them - which can literally save you 45 minutes Versus if you didn’t know.

Is the morning news coming from Melbourne this morning? Backdrop looks different.

The morning news comes out of the small regional studio in Sydney due to Today Extra using the national set, though given Brett is reading maybe it is coming out of Melbourne? He often comes up though.

How i usually tell if the News is being presented from studio 3 or not… there is usually a glare off the screen from regional set/ former Nine News Now set:

Nine News Perth has been changing a few things up lately.

The live shot is still there, just on the right videowall. The red from the desk is now white again.

First time I have seen a generic 9 News Sport backdrop.

Easily the best looking set they’ve rolled out so far, the angles are great.

And I believe the ABC will start using the Metraweather software from next week as well as part of their relaunch

Too big, loud and over the top.

Has 9 news Brisbane just copied 7’s “thank you” promo?
Same “thank you QLD” and then display of their reporting team looks very similar…

At least Seven’s are genuine. Nine’s latest promos in QLD reminds me of a bad remake of Today Tonight, and I can’t think of anything more than a switch-off from Nine to Seven, and have done so.

If it’s the promo I’m thinking of, Seven’s “Thank You Queensland” promo was rather tacky IMO. I haven’t seen Nine’s take on the concept but knowing what recent promos for Nine News Queensland have been like (with over the top graphics and very shouty-sounding voiceovers, etc.), I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if it’s worse.

They should have really done something similar to this promo. Still on the tacky side, but at least it had more substance than what both networks are dishing up right now in terms of promos.

Interesting graphics that I haven’t seen before…

Looks good overall, personally not a fan of the blue layer under the white & red strap, looks like it hasn’t been finished properly or is too small.

With a bit of tweaking, IMO that would make for some better Headline Graphics than the hybrid Nine News/Today/Seven News-thing they’re running with at the moment.

Big problems for the Adelaide News tonight, they had to air the Melbourne bulletin. I walked out of the room, came back, and had Lavinia instead of Jess, giving me the Melbourne weather!

I’m not sure if anyone’s interested at all, but Nine News Sydney has a special Radio Promo airing on temporary pop-up station 107.9 “Show Radio” (Side note: do other states ever have anything like this?) with Peter Overton voicing and the current Nine News theme as background music. Basically, in the promo Pete welcomes attendees of the Royal Easter Show to the event, hopes they have a fantastic day and reminds people to watch Nine News at 6pm incase they make it on TV.

I’m not sure if this is the case this year but in the past, Nine News Sydney have also been known to do a promo similar to that one on Show Radio in a visual form (circa 2009-11 is when I seem to remember this being the case) which is only shown on the big screen in the Main Arena/Spotless Stadium.
