My bet is we will see on location forecasts for the Show.
Nine are pretty good at picking the right times to do them.

I’ve noticed Sydney reporter Sophie Walsh has been reporting in Melbourne since Sunday, not sure if she has moved to Melbourne permanently?

She confirmed on Twitter that its just for this week.

Ahh cool, must be filling in for a regular Melbourne reporter who’s gone on holidays or something.
It still wouldn’t be overly surprising if a reporter currently at Nine News Sydney is expected to leave soon though, with Darren Wick recently including a listing for a permanent reporting position at TCN along with the 12 month maternity leave position (for Kate Creedon).

Peter Overton threw his hands up in despair at more automation gremlins tonight!
Footage of Tiger Woods was meant to be on air when Cameron was forced to do the VO on camera.
Actually, he took it pretty well… “Those computers!” he quipped.

I tell you what…9 have that much problems with automation they should go and see how Ten do it. Ten uses the same mosart automation minus the robotic cameras and no mistakes!

Maybe it’s the cameras causing some of the issues… in the one I posted last night with Petes’s hands in the air, perhaps it was a case of the cameras kicking back in when they weren’t supposed to?
They blame the computers, but someone has to set up the Mosart rundown, and also someone is there progressing it through the rundown. There is a human factor there, and from what I’ve heard about Nine’s abilities with Mosart, it’s a much bigger factor than people are giving it credit.

Definitely. Mosart is used by many broadcasters around the world for automation and almost none of them have problems with the same frequency that Nine does.
