Oh dear Vanessa: “Steff-anniac”? Bill Stefaniak is VERY well known in Canberra, pronunciation is so important for credibility (it’s Stef-arn-iak). I wonder if the Canberra bulletin is still 100% live? Otherwise this should have been picked up in the pre-record by Mr Frost.

The street name was wrong in the package too. It was on Yarra Glen, not Adelaide Avenue (though an easy mistake to make - it’s the same length of road, but changes names about halfway along)
I don’t think that was Vanessa making the scripts, more likely the CoS.
My reply was referencing the above post which stated that the reporter should’ve picked up the mispronunciation, noting that he got the street name incorrect in his report.

Sophie stuffed up a simple pronunciation on 9 News Mackay last night as well (during the local window).
A major outlying town in the broadcast region is “Moranbah” (pronounced “more-anne-bar”) and Sophie called it “mare-run-bar”.

I saw the full report on my phone after writing that comment. Harry Frost mispronounced his name too, so I can’t blame Vanessa. As far as I know there is no CoS in Canberra, just the three reporters, but I may be wrong.
I’m a little behind on the festive content, but this is a nice use of the new Nine team at Watson, rather than reverting to the Parliament House crew!

Maybe because he has been filling in for Jo Hall while she’s on break. Melbourne use fill in presenters for the metro bulletin promos too, so they’re probably putting in the same effort for their regional bulletin.

It sounded like a national story, so it would’ve been read live to all markets. Only the local windows are pre-recorded I believe.
