There was a playout issue tonight, they couldn’t get the stinger to play, so the theme just played for 5-7 seconds after Pete read the final teaser.
Mia Glover said Nine Late News will air at 9pm after 60 Minutes tonight.
The backdrop doesn’t quite look… late enough?
Nine News Late: Early?
Didn’t Nine News use to pre-record the early morning bulletin? IIRC they just aired the pre-recorded bulletin that was Qantas AM edition.
Georgie Gardner will be presenting Sundays late news
This reminds me of when a live shot of Sydney at night was used on the original incarnation of Nightline, which made it obvious to the viewer/s that it was produced out of TCN’s (old) studios in Willoughby in its final years.

I wouldn’t say that backdrop is immediately noticeable.
The one used tonight is clearly Sydney.
They used this same backdrop in the short Nightline relaunch in 2010
This looked so much better and lively last night, then the bland AI one.
Also remind me of old late news days:
Sunday October 6, 2024: Georgie Gardner presenting tonight.
Seemed weird to promote a bulletin starting at 10:45 when it was past that time already. Also confusing for viewers in SA and QLD that got the same graphic - were they supposed to wait around for another 30 or 60 minutes for the bulletin?
