It will most likely be shown delayed, and there will be no local weekend news, which is a major stepback ---

Any indication whether Nine Darwin will stay at the current premises and keep the studio on standby for special events such as election coverage, or are they downsizing and moving elsewhere? ---

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if regional news gets the old QLD set, my prediction is that they would probably do this to cater for Darwin, by replicating what has previously been done in a way can ensure that viewers don’t start leaving… as too much change at once might affect ratings. ---

There’s nearly zero chance they’ll implement any set changes… they’ve only just spent all that money getting the current set up and running - why replace it after less than 2 months? (I would love to see the Darwin set brought over, but from Nine’s perspective, it just ain’t gonna happen) ---

The region specific backgrounds are very clever, but not good in practice. Time they did what NBN does and use a generic background on a real set. ---

The region-specific backgrounds are probably also helpful for the behind-the-scenes guys to check at a glance that the right feed is going out to the right market - especially during the inserts. It also makes the viewer feel they are seeing a local bulletin tailored to their area. Quite a few are no doubt unaware that the bulk of the bulletins are shared with other markets, and may even think they are produced somewhere locally. ---

I wonder how it would work out if they used local backdrops only on the local inserts, then either OTS or generic backdrops elsewhere. ---

Yeah, i’m sure most people who watch local news bulletins think they’re produced locally. When 9 News launched in Mackay in July, I can remember seeing comments on Facebook regarding it where people were clearly showing that they believed it was produced locally. I guess Sam’s few visits to the area - and good relationship with local Triple M presenters, joining them in studio in Mackay a few times - obviously fooled many viewers. ---
