Discussion of Nine News Content and Appearance in Darwin NTD isn’t really apart of the Regional or Metro format, should probably move to its own thread? ---

So no news for the time being about what’s happening in Darwin I presume? Just keeping up with the noodle updates during the bulletin? ---

I’ve heard after the election, they can’t really stay under the current format forever. It’s so out of place and doesn’t use network graphics at all. ---

**NINE NEWS DARWIN TO HOST ELECTION NIGHT** From 6:00pm, Paul Taylor, Jonathan Uptin and Charles Croucher will host NT Decides. It will start with a dedicated local bulletin then ongoing coverage from 7:00.

It will be interesting to see how this will affect QTQ considering Jonathan Uptin is the weekend presenter. Darwin will probably get shoved onto the regional set for the 6:00pm bulletin if it’s not done locally (since 6:00pm in NT is 6:30 in Queensland) Great to have Jonathan and Charles together again. ---

Fantastic. Good to see some local NT coverage! And a local bulletin!! Could this in fact hint that Paul Taylor may present a weekday local bulletin soon? (Also given that he is seemingly absent from the new Nine News Local bulletin) ---

Nine will be heavily monitoring the performance of this coverage for future expansion of local news coverage in NT. But it’s the start of something for Darwin. Coverage will also be shown on Imparja as-well. ---

> [@Nicholas](#): > > Could this in fact hint that Paul Taylor may present a weekday local bulletin soon? Maybe - or what I’d like to see - Jono on Darwin and Georgina Lewis on weekends for 9 Queensland - although there’s a 0.00000000001% chance of that happening! 🤣 ---

> [@Leo\_Puglisi6](#): > > Jono on Darwin Eh, I think his time in NT has well and truly pasted. The purpose of having him on the coverage is because he has hosted all the previous election nights with Charles before - plus it’s an incentive to tune in as they were much more popular over ABC at the time. It’s going to be super competitive considering viewers have gotten comfortable with ABC for years now. Both networks commence coverage at the same time as-well. If I were Nine I would’ve started news at 5:30 ish then head to election coverage at 6:00 when polls close. [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/nine-news-darwin/15059.md?page=2)
