Also a live cross during 6pm news. It appears they have a Camera Operator rather than VJ. Kyrrie doing a great job re-instating the Darwin bureau.

Could the CO be freelance/flown in for this type of story though?

Nine does realise they kinda ruined their reputation in Darwin after axing the local bulletin…. right?

Probably. So they’re trying to fix it by doing this.
Nine is most likely started producing more local updates after they heard Seven was launching local updates for Darwin. Yet again the formula of ‘Our opponent has done something, we MUST copy it’’ lives on

Kind of ironic that they didn’t give it a second thought when SCA was making updates for Darwin like they always have, but as soon as Seven takes ownership they’re suddenly interested

Exactly… but if 10 does the same thing… it’s crickets. It is like Seven & Nine are two siblings who never get along lol

I do wonder if there is something happening in the background with government to see Nine and WIN do these little things to perhaps justify additional journalism funding. The timing is peculiar because you would expect these to be cut back if nothing changes over the next 12 months.

What times are local news updates throughout the day?
Most likely losses in advertising revenue and trying to justify a point of difference for selling advertising packages to clients. There is also 0 reason why these updates can’t be financially viable for Nine to produce considering the minimal resources involved.
The axing was poorly executed and this should’ve been introduced back in January.
