What are the total viewers and ratings like for Nine News Local in QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC?

I’m not sure whether we’ve seen any numbers - FWIW it doesnt make it to the Top 20 weekly numbers

100% yes. Bizarre to make this (actually relatively decent looking) fake set and then to make it obvious that it’s not real by putting these fake swirls in front of it.

Looks like a fake column to make the set look more real.

Would actually do a good job if the swooshes weren’t there.

Do the OTS graphics change?

No

It can’t be that hard to change them and it would improve the presentation 10 fold. Prime even do it for the 3 minute noodle update regions

It definitely would. The problem is that 9, seemingly, don’t care at all about the presentation, hence, don’t bother

By now it should be obvious that Nine News Local isn’t being produced because the network wants to, but rather because they have to.

If WIN re-affiliates with Nine, I suspect these half hour bulletins will become all but a brief footnote in TV history.

For this package and the last package, even though they didn’t come with old style OTS overlays, NBN were able to whip up something that fit reasonably well since they use them regularly in the sport section. Surely it would just be a case of emailing the file over?

They probably don’t have the resources to make the graphics for each story as all the graphic designer resources are all being used for the metro news service. Poor form from Channel Nine it’s been like this ever since Nine local news started. Why should regional areas receive sub pair services? I remember watching the service in Canberra when it was a 1 hr service with local inserts and it was so bad, it’s watchable but no where near as polished as metro bulletin. Ten Capital news was so much better even with the occasional technical glitch due to their old equipment.

They don’t need to make one for every story. Just one or two feature stories in each block, would probably take 1/2 hr to 1hr for the lot.

Does anyone have the first Regional Victorian bulletin from August 10th?

At the end of Nine News Regional Victoria Jo ended up saying that Nine News with Peter Hitchener was up next, but he’s on holidays now and Tony Jones is presenting tonight.
