Nine News Local

I actually really like these promos and the endboards.

Leo_Puglisi6 · August 10, 2020, 1:18am

So promoting it as ‘90 Minutes of news’ - Similar to 10.

Same @Nicholas.

This promo is very good IMO

nationalnews · August 10, 2020, 1:44am

Good tactic to sell it as more news.

ElCapitanCranky · August 10, 2020, 2:05am

hey, someone has to, and sex sells.

OnAir · August 10, 2020, 2:08am

No-one has to

HoneyFlix · August 10, 2020, 2:21am

I’ll chuck in the rest of them

The promo isn’t bad. The Local name really sucks because well it’s not Local. Nine News Victoria/NSW/QLD or Regional would be more accurate.

It almost feels like a surprise launch because nobody outside of these forums will know that it’s on until it’s too late.

Spring on everyone as a surprise at 5.30 and hope they like what they see, and stick around tomorrow and the days after that.

Natassia Apolloni is now know as Natassia Soper, which is her married name. She changed her name on Twitter and Instagram in the past couple of days. It’s also the name she is called in the promo video.

First ‘Alert’ just aired…just a voice over.

Leo_Puglisi6 · August 10, 2020, 3:08am

Who was doing it? Natassia?

Zampakid · August 10, 2020, 3:10am

Yes.

Leo_Puglisi6 · August 10, 2020, 3:10am

So combining both 5:30 & 6pm stories? Good.

TV-ACT · August 10, 2020, 3:12am

Agreed. Trying to be charitable, perhaps Nine want to give themselves some time to iron out any kinks in the new format before hyping it up.

I wonder how many people who normally watch TV at that time will wonder why Millionaire Hot Seat started early; might this surprise change even prompt a few people to re-check what time it is? (‘The news has already started? Is it 6 o’clock already?’)

What are people’s bets for Darwin tonight? Will they continue with their current opt-outs during the commercial break or reinstate a full Darwin bulletin from the regional studio in Brisbane? The formula wouldn’t change much from the previous regional composites, just that it’s now live and Darwin is the only one being made.

Zampakid · August 10, 2020, 4:10am

Willwalk · August 10, 2020, 4:15am

Only 9 Darwin can answer that question,

littlegezzybear · August 10, 2020, 4:16am

NT election coverage on Facebook.

MWJ · August 10, 2020, 4:17am

Even though it’s obvious to all of us here that Natassia is sitting in front of a monitor (likely studio 24) that looks great. The only thing I’d suggest is replacing the imagery on the LHS monitor wall with some semi local imagery like a mountain etc.

Willwalk · August 10, 2020, 4:21am

Are they going back to the studios before the pandemic?
