Hearing word that 9 and NBN local news will be suspended from tomorrow to free up staff. All regional areas will receive their respective metro bulletin instead for the foreseeable future.

They’ll be sending some regional reporters to metro areas as back ups.

My source says it will be the metro bulletins in regional areas. There will be no regional staff producing regional news for the next couple of weeks.

Jo Hall just announced that was the last local bulletin for now, Nine News Melbourne to air in regional areas until further notice it seems.
Local news updates to remain (I’m guessing to still meet local content requirements).

Seem rather contemptuous of their regional viewers.

You would think Nine can make their non-flagship daytime bulletins national to free up staff.

Wow! Just heard the announcement at the end of the local bulletin. No more Regional QLD News until further notice.
I’m actually gutted. Can’t believe Nine would do this

What does it mean for NT viewers? Will they get Nine News from Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide?

I presume Brisbane.

Hopefully they do a local bulletin for the NT - at least maybe a half hour at 6:30, given there’s a delay anyway between them and Queensland.
