Is there any real benefit to have him based in Melbourne though? I’m guessing its Chris’s personal preference maybe?

Um… he lives there?
I would say Chris is also filing a report (from the reserve bank) on tonight’s news.

His life and family is in Melbourne? It’s a nicer city than Sydney? What’s with the bizarre assumption that not being in Sydney is an issue?

Its pretty much the finance capital of Australia and he’s the finance reporter eg. all the interest rate announcements are done in Sydney.
Ideally, I’d have him based in Sydney, that’s all.

Or he chooses not to go… what do you do then?
Everything he dose can be done from Melbourne which also plays a key financial part in Australia’s economy. Two of the big banks (ANZ, NAB) are bases there, along with BHP and Rio Tinto. Plus it’s the manufacturing and technology hub of Australia

Nothing, the key word in my post was bolded 
ABC Alan Kohler is also Melbourne based??

To be fair the ABC probably have a larger pool of financial reporters in Sydney than Nine. But then again, Nine could use it’s resources at the Financial Review.
Surely the ideal scenario is the one that works best for him and his circumstances?
Given he’s been Finance Editor for 2-3 years now I think we can safely say that having the role based in Melbourne has not been detrimental at all.

And Melbourne is also the superannuation company capital.

Very important to keep that R/hand screen in full view showing yet another 9news banner just in case you weren’t sure what you were watching

What’s the rush? It’s not like the 3 viewers Nine has in Perth will even notice when it happens.
Besides, STW can now claim to have the best looking Nine graphics in the country since the “old” package is superior.

Are they using that screen with the Nine News GC logo for OTS story graphics? Else I do not see the issue with them moving the frame to the left a little bit when they have a Nine News bug on screen anyway.
