Paul Murphy read the weather tonight, ended it by saying; “If the weather doesn’t eventuate, please don’t shoot us a message I’m just reading what’s on the screen”

Where’s the Darwin bulletin presented from these days? Do they have a sports reader?

It’s presented from Brisbane. And no there isn’t a sports presenter.

Really? I thought Nine had a studio in Darwin they were doing the news from?

When 9 moved location quite a few years ago, it never had a studio. The news has always been done from Brisbane since it left Darwin.

They presented the COVID news updates from Darwin in 2020, and considering the Brisbane setup is just a static one-shot production, there is no reason they couldn’t do the same from Darwin.

The thinking is: why the expense when we don’t need to?

As uploaded by @TV-QLD :
I believe this is the first full bulletin we have online of Paul Murphy presenting.
Extremely budget and static - shame they can’t be a bit creative like 10 News First Adelaide is with their green screen and OTS graphics.

Shame that the Darwin station can’t now acknolwedge that Darwin was/is NTD-8 – not “Channel Nine” like the South.

You’re about 20 years too late for that :joy:

To steal from the Fonz – if it were up to me it would stay 1955, forever! (innocent eyelash fluttering)

in what context?

Forgot to mention - technical difficulties from 38:30 onwards. Went to an adbreak and returned after a few minutes.

I mean, if Darwin was the size of Newcastle, they maybe could’ve in an alternate reality stuck with the Eight National News name until now…

Seems to be a lack of resources in NT currently - recent stories show Brisbane reporters doing stories from the QTQ studios.

Is it possible they could be using Brisbane reporters to make the bulletin feel a bit more lively by using the videowall?

Darwin doesn’t exactly have access to that :thinking:

They have some reporters based in QTQ as a part of Nine News Darwin, they normally double up as producers. It’s an easy way for them to give their producers reporter experience while keeping them in their current jobs. I think it’s about 3
