He suited Sunday.
But I don’t think his style would suit today styles of shows.

One wonders what NNN Sydney would’ve been like if Ian Ross was the successor to Brian Henderson instead of Jim Waley, but that’s just me…
Anyway, I think if this was to become permanent, and if Pete Overton doesn’t want to present 6pm plus late news permanently, someone like Deborah Knight would be a fantastic choice as a presenter. Though that would mean a massive workday for her.

Of course he still managed to hold up Sydney’s news ratings well after Hendo retired, but when Ian Ross headed to Seven, all those loyal Nine News viewers switched over.
Then the biggest blunder came in 2005 when Mark Ferguson was thrown into the hot seat at just 38 (he turned 39 in February that year). The Seven vs Nine battle in Sydney therefore became a virtual battle of father (Ross, who turned 65 in June 2005) vs son (Ferguson).
Again I’m not suggesting Ross and Ferguson were related, because I know they are not.

No Nine News Late last night or tonight. Not scheduled for next Thursday night but it is for Friday.

I like how Nine still describes programs as being in Wide Screen.

Does this need its own thread? There’s already a thread for discussing 9 News bulletins.

Well The Latest has its own thread… and that’s technically a late Seven News bulletin…

It’s branded and presented as a different show entirley.
This is literally just a 9News bulletin by all accounts.

For the Week 26 April it’s gone
As I suspected it’s not permanent at all
Nine has shown no interest in late news for a decade now

Might be because of outdated website listings?
It’s the brand new schedule posted here on MS

Tonight’s bulletin started with no opener card. the next episode promo for Informer 3838 ended and it immediately jumped into Peter Overton introducing the Virgin administration story.

The last episode is this Friday night.
Beyond that it’s out of the schedule
So much for a late night bulletin.
