This is actually becoming beyond a joke, the amount of times I have seen bloopers on Nine News Sydney is utterly disgraceful. I can go onto YouTube and type in “Nine News Sydney bloopers” and get a large bank of videos. Nine staff should honestly learn how to use this technology or don’t use it at all, other broadcasts never have this much trouble. I don’t know about you all but I’m fed up, this is Sydney’s number 1 news!

Agreed. You don’t hear the other cities, whom I’m sure use the same technology have this much difficulty with it
Some of those bloopers/technical errors in that pic pre-date automation though.
In any case, if this sort of thing is so much of a major issue for the general public they’ll eventually vote with their remotes (if they haven’t already of course).
Does Melbourne use the same system?
Then this just shows that Nine News Sydney has serious problems that need to be resolved.

Melbourne had problems again on the closer tonight. I’ve seen it at least 10 times.
Seems the Livinia throwback from weather to closing camera sweep is just all too hard. Livinia left blank on camera tonight and closing theme didn’t roll plus closing camera sweep just sat still.

Glad they’ve changed Overton’s standing position so he can block the godawful block 9 logo in the testcard

Only paying lip service …
The handover from 9 NEWS NOW to 9 LIVE/AT 4/whatever it is called today is a bit sloppy. 9 NEWS NOW says that they now leave WA viewers, have a run of what stories will be on after the break, ad break, one story, weather and then ends.
Followed by another ad, and then 9 LIVE begins. Just an observation, but thought they would have ‘dropped’ other regions at the same time who are heading into 9 LIVE
That happened in Adelaide today. The first couple of days hey waited for Amber to say “and now it’s time for Nine’s afternoon news” and they cut straight to Nine Live. Much better.
Really not liking the fake skyline background on Nine News Perth. I really hope and hope it’s just a temporary one until they redo the template of the main screen, otherwise it’s a waste of a great set. Gone from the best to one of the worst.

I honestly wouldn’t be suprised if they kept it, it doesn’t take that long to get the template used in Sydney/Melbourne. Plus planning for these sets would of been done a while back and 9 would of developed various templates to see what works and doesn’t.

Realistically, I think Nine News’ current sets & graphics would’ve been many months (possibly even a year or more) in the planning.
Over the coming weeks and months, I’d probably expect to see more tweaking and fine-tuning. The On-Air Presentation of Nine News we’ll see in mid-2017 will be very different to the On-Air Presentation of Nine News we saw in mid-2016.

On the note of tweaks, I noticed during Nine News Melbourne tonight that they have slightly altered the angles when using the screen for graphics. It’s zoomed out a bit more so you can just see above the screen, making it look less like a green screen.

The only reason they single out WA is because WA shows 9 News Now live at 12pm, and moves onto other programming at 1pm, while all other states continue with 9 News in one form or another.

Fair enough, their delivery of it was sloppy that’s all. Maybe a one off
