I wouldn’t have a clue, but my guess is that they might reuse elements of Sydney’s old set for the new regional one.

It did, no sign of any other presenters but the reporters flashed up.
Safe to assume they’ll do a duplicate set?
Wow, if these regional bulletins are going to have the same new set, I’m definitely going to watch, about time regional news gets great sets.

The first two seconds is from the Today studio…

“For the first time, a dedicated Canberra team…”
Conveniently ignoring the fact that Southern Cross itself used to do exactly that for nearly 40 years…?

maybe they mean a first for Channel 9?
Still a tenuous claim given that “Channel 9” has only been in Canberra for a few months… and that’s where the promo is airing.
I guess it’s too much to expect some level of truth in advertising.

How many “facts” are wrong in that video. Australia’s number one news - no, that’s Seven; For the first time - no; A dedicated Canberra team - no, they’re in Sydney and are presenting a state wide bulletin. “First & Best” - very hard to justify when it hasn’t even aired yet.

I like that they got the reporters out to a couple of Canberra sights with the Nine microphone to do a pretend story that they could clip two seconds from for this promo.

Yes first for Nine, and listening to the promo that’s the way I understood it.
Otherwise it’d be just ridiculous nonsense; and adding to the CTC (now owned by SCA) example, ABC News Canberra airs every day, presented from the Canberra studio.
Anyway, finally promos!
I can’t wait to see the new 9News Canberra; hopefully no/not many early glitches (especially when the Illawarra edition is added), and a nice modern presentation to contrast against the stale offering from WIN Ten, and as 9News rolls out more broadly, the likes of Prime7, especially if/when Nine have new sets (matching those now in Perth & Sydney) for these regional bulletins (& the national bulletins presented from from Sydney/Melbourne/etc.).
(I know, some wishful thinking at the end here, but Nine at least need to do something to the older sets so they don’t look too different from the new ones.)
PS:
Marketing = twisting facts to something still with a tenuous connection to reality:
Nine can say ‘number 1’ & “First” because wasn’t TCN9 the first (or number 1) TV station in Australia?
Dedicated Canberra team would be the reporters based at CTC.
“First & Best” isn’t specific to 9News Canberra, but a general 9News tagline/statement/claim, isn’t it?

Forgive me if I’m incorrect, but hasn’t Nine News beaten Seven News both nationally and in metro bulletins along the east coast in recent years?
I’m pretty sure that Seven News won the five capital city ratings last year, although Nine did win in the three major East Coast markets (albeit, very narrowly in South East Queensland) in 2016.

Nine just got taken to court for saying that Today was Australia’s number one breakfast show. Everyone knows what “Australia’s number one news means” and Nine can’t make that claim in any form at all.[quote=“Nick, post:462, topic:2086”]

Seven News was/is Australia’s number one TV news in 2016 across the 5-city metro markets and all regional markets.

I believe the key difference of interpretation that Nine was ignoring the regional viewers, while Seven were saying “Australia’s number 1” is about the entire nation, not just the 5 city metro audience…
“Australia’s number 1 news” is problematic. Hasn’t Nine been claiming that prior to this promo, and not just city-specific claims?
I wonder if Seven will sue again. The problem is the stupid rating split between 5 city metro & regional; I’d like to see the combined national audience numbers reported instead.
How are national numbers impacted by regional areas where “7News” doesn’t air at 18:00, that is in Seven affiliate areas where “Southern Cross News” or “Prime7 News” airs instead? (Is it misleading to call those programmes “7News” for a ratings comparion despite the different names on air?)
No - Seven is number one for the metro viewers as well.
Here are the numbers from the news article
Audience 6-7pm average

That 9NEWS Canberra promo smashes anything on any-other-commerical-channel (in Canberra).

Perhaps you misunderstood my first point was about Today vs Sunrise, for which Seven argued that “Australia’s” has to be across the entire country not just selected/5 metro cities:
2016-10-28:
(My bold:)
Seven made its point releasing figures for average audiences across both the metro markets and a combined audience number, including regional viewers, which it has been citing as proof it has more viewers Australia-wide than its competitor.
While conceding Today cannot be beaten in the war over weekly wins, Seven argues the metro and regional battle is still in play…
You’ve done what Nine did wrong with Today, by quoting only the 5 cities numbers, not the national numbers including regional viewers, so in no way can that prove your contention that 7News is number 1 in Australia, or disprove Nine’s claim to the contrary.
(I’d still love to see the total national numbers to confirm whether the Seven or Nine network won 18:00-19:00 timeslot in 2016.)
