And it’s still Brisbane/SEQ-centric, especially in the promo endcap.

What’s going on there?
They’re in the one of the fastest growing areas. Talking about the biggest growth areas and what infrastructure is needed. They’ve had a few interviews on this matter during the bulletin

It’s nice with the Opera House and a bit of green there as well, but looks odd without the Harbour Bridge there in the right.
Maybe a zoomed out shot with both the Opera House and the Bridge would be worth a try.

Too much sky for me.
Not solely related to Nine but probably more references than Seven here, but some interesting reading on apparently what news viewers want
Viewers have spoken: they want the nightly news cut back to 30 minutes and fewer live crosses. That’s according to a series of focus groups of regular viewers of the 6pm news on the Seven and Nine networks.
EDIT: I don’t think the link is working anymore and I can’t seem to get it to embed since I don’t have a subscription to the site.

Not sure about Seven, but it will never happen for Nine. Because The Chase wins, as a lead-in, it benefits Seven News. You will generally find that if you look at the whole hour, Nine wins, but break-it down they are significantly weaker at 6pm.
Also the better performance of the news at 6.30pm has helped A Current Affair.
Some called for more personality in news delivery. “Get a flavour of the morning news team into the evening,” wrote one person on a form provided.
“(Nine Sydney newsreader) Peter Overton needs to be less wooden, wry smiles would be good. Otherwise he is excellent,” wrote another.
Another viewer wrote in capital letters: “Keep Amber on please,” a reference to Nine presenter Amber Sherlock.
But one female viewer disliked that on Nine the women were “always blonde and thin”.
But on one story, viewers were unanimous: no one was interested in the latest report on tensions between Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott.
“We finish around 20 minutes and then watch shows we have taped. People are busy, and we don’t have an hour to spare, it’s too long,” one viewer wrote.
“People are busy. I want the news and weather and sport. Interesting and crisp and tight.”
Another common sentiment was about sensationalist banners. “Get rid of ‘breaking news’ unless it really is breaking news.”
“Concentrate on professional content, less focus on trying to capture viewers with sensationalist images. No pointless live crosses that don’t add value. More international stories, less trivial local stories,” wrote one viewer.

I don’t think they’re necessarily meant to be long term advertising deals in that particular window
start worrying when Gavin Morris has to advertise the newest Samsung device powered by Vodafone at the end of each weather segment on NBN.
