Nine News Late (2020-Feb 2025)

If they do, I’d love to see the original theme return with it as well. There were a few other unique elements with that format, including the opening line “From National Nine News, this is Nightline with [presenter]” and “[reporter’s name], for Nightline”.

The brief revival of Nightline in 2009-10 only used the original Nine News theme.

Ah, sorry, I was thinking about Channel 4 UK’s news summaries.

I do miss that theme and opening. Superior to Nine News generic.

I could just visualize a present-day opening with Matthew O’Sullivan saying: “From Nine News, this is Nightline with Tracy Vo/Natalia Cooper/Peter Overton”.

Personally, unless Nine re-jigs the format of the late news away from a traditional bulletin there’s no real gain of rebranding to Nightline.

I’m thinking a news summary followed by more long-form reportage later in the show.

I doubt Peter will regularly do the Late News on Sundays this year.

Very high ratings for the bulletin this year where it is basically unopposed. Surely Seven (or even 10 ) should be looking at putting up a Sunday night bulletin as competition.

642,000 last night to make the top 10. Amazing for a 9.30pm ish show.

Would be interesting if 10 jumped into the space; especially since Sydney records a local Perth edition on weekends. Prerecord (or air live) a Sunday late bulletin at 9.30PM AEDT?

Update aired at 10:03pm AEDT - a quick changeover after the Perth 6pm bulletin

Crazy good ratings.

Half of media spy has been banging on about a 9.30pm weeknights news.

Let’s be honest - the quality drama is all on streaming. If you’re watching FTA at 9.30 when the reality formats end - News seems like a really appealing option if you don’t wanna watch drama.
