This is not paid advertising. The commercial networks do not accept payment for news stories. Would be an absolute uproar if they did. Why pay for stories like these anyway when they rate well (believe it or not, they do).
Whatâs going on at Nine News Perth? Both news director and his deputy resigned this week.
They are in good hands with Mike Dalton taking over. He was news director at QTQ and worked with TCN prior to that.
Really? I would be concerned given that the regional editions of Nine News often arenât up to the standards they should be, if posts on this forum are anything to go by. Thatâs before we even talk about Nine News DarwinâŚ
He is conservative- nothing will likely change or improve under his leadersgip at STW. Mike will just be there to fill the position basically.
But, to be fair, his is restricted with what he can do for Regionals when he doesnât have the budget or space for lavish sets and it is an improvement on what SCA was producing prior. Remember Nine only have local bulletins for appearance; hoping to lift their total national audience on the primary channel. Nothing about quality.
Donât necessarily need lavish sets. The CGI guff that heâs pasted ontop of the local landscapes cheapens the look drastically. Melbourne proved that last week by using a common-or-garden clean landscape behind Peter Hitchener in the regional studio, only visual difference was no sweeping studio shots.
Queenslandâs old Smithfield Springfield âbureauâ was by all accounts quaint, but on-screen it looked pretty much the same as the main studio because it used a standard backdrop.
Springfield?
Ah yes. Donât know where the heck I got âSmithfieldâ from
Hedging your betsâŚ

With the locations on the Today/Tomorrow split screen graphics being in Arial!
It also appears that Belinda and/or Nine do business with ANZ because that appeared to be the logo on the VISA card she had tucked into her phone case, although Iâm happy to report that the picture resolution was not good enough to pick up a legible PIN!
Nine hasnât wasted any time integrating Fairfax Media properties into the Sydney bulletin. They had a rather awkward and stilted Domain property snapshot on tonightâs news with Mark Burrows interviewing a Domain research analyst about Sydney auction results and clearance rates.
There was also a push notification sent a few nights ago through the 9News app promoting some Domain report
Has it really been ânumber 1 for 6 decadesâ?..
The 60 years of Nine News report in Brisbane tonight concentrated on the news stories rather than how they were presented. These were the few elements that showed previous presentation elements.
