Perhaps contract negotiations are comping up with some prominent readers and Nine are demonstrating that no-one is irreplaceable

Building in redundancy in case a cyber attack affects a number of stations?
I was worried the static Newcastle backdrop and NBN News logo might make a unscheduled appearance! Looks like I need not have worried. And as I have noticed in the past how Newcastle likes to put its NBN logo in the network product.

“remote controlled from Perth routed through Sydney, read in Newcastle.”

Which city was that backdrop, or is it generic?

Interesting. Surely it would make more sense to use someone else from Perth rather than having a constant rotating set of presenters?

It would probably cost them money to have a dedicated person in Perth vs rostering it in as “reasonable overtime” across the country.
I like the look and feel of it moving around, I think they should make a feature of it.

This makes me wonder, where is it normally controlled from? Is it the city that it’s coming from, or always from Perth? I know Newcastle doesn’t have it’s own control room so had to controlled from elsewhere, but Perth and not Brisbane or Sydney?

I guess that’s one way of really making it the All Australian News…

NBN News is normally controlled from QTQ Brisbane last time I heard.
But with tech it can probably be controlled from anywhere
They probably controlled it from Perth because it is earlier in the evening.

On a side note… I believe NBN News uses “Wavelengths” provided by TPG Telecom to transport video. It allows them to transport raw HD SDI video… (NOT TCP/IP based)… so latency is incredibly low for remote switching.
They use Packetlight equipment on prem to achieve this… they just insert the HD-SDI SFP modules into the packetlight equipment and that connects to TPG’s network via OTN

Sounds like an extension/evolution of what they started with SPT/Soul

This is interesting. I wonder if there will be further movements around the presenting of 9 News Perth. Still rating quite poor. Monika would be a better choice.

It’s probably not going to matter what they do.
Just have to wait for Rick and Sue to retire or for Seven to stuff it up.
