I can understand the reasoning behind the Australian Open tennis ball titlecard, but gosh it is so ugly, the tennis ball makes it look so tacky.

Wow. And I thought Nine News couldn’t do a more tacky transition graphic than that Lord Of The Rings-esque “Bushfire Emergency” one!

Brisbane has Moreton Bay?
And before you say that Brisbane’s CBD is away from the bay or some other attempt to justify your wrong comment, Melbourne’s CBD isn’t near the ocean either. And beaches on Moreton Bay are bad too. And there are suburbs of Brisbane’s along Moreton Bay, not the same as St Kilda, but still developed.
Do you just automatically think Melbourne is the greatest city because it has a bay?
What?
Think he’s dunked on you there Sully.
Good to see they’ve finally gotten rid of the Impact fonts. It looks much more professional.

I think they removed that font a few months after the relaunch.
And I agree, it looked disgusting.

The 9News Brisbane 60 years promo I just saw was woeful. Music, logo, content, pace of the ad… all terrible. Not appealing at all.

When does 9 news Melbourne at 4pm come back on?
I would say after the Aus Open.

A couple of Gold Coast news updates from this week - still no consistency, perhaps the variation adds a bit of interest for the studio crew. I think these look better than some of their other variations.

They definitely look much better than what they’ve done previously.

They use the OTS graphics far too frequently and have lost their novelty.

After some nice looking backdrops, tonight’s GC update was a shocker 
Dominique Loudon has done a great job over the last few weeks. She announced that Bruce Paige would be back presenting on Monday. Also noting that, across summer, the live cross to the Brisbane newsroom previously seen near the end of the bulletin has been replaced with a RVO and “Full story tonight 6pm” graphic.

If it’s true that Seven Morning News will soon run for a full hour at 11am as per discussion about that network’s latest promo in the relevant thread, do we think Nine will (again) eventually follow suit?

Let’s hope. Today Extra is dying. Always would rather a morning news hour then another 15-20 minutes of informericals and 10 minutes of content.

As most would remember Nine did run morning news for an hour until a few years ago. The change was due to how financially lucrative it was to fix extra informercials into Today Extra with the extra 30 minutes. I’m surprised (though not doubtful) that 7 is making the change to an hour morning news, and reducing TMS as their news and current affair department hasn’t been exactly flush with cash in the last few years.

It’s the first time you’re seeing it on Nine News perhaps?
But seriously it’s a complete nonsense and an insult to viewers who aren’t that stupid.
But according to some on here, everyone does it so it’s ok…
