I wish Nine would stop putting the Andrew & Melissa endboard on the end of videos they post on the regional pages. I keep seeing these all the time!

Agreed.
While Iâm still here, weâre now only three nights away from the end of the 2018 ratings season so the question has to be asked. We all know how the capital city editions of Nine News have been rating during 2018 (OK in Sydney & Melbourne, poorly in the other three markets), but does anyone know how the regional editions have been faring during the first full year for local editions of Nine News in all markets? Are Nine Newsâ regional bulletins competitive in the ratings against the offerings of Seven/Prime7 and WIN?
Somewhat disappointing that there was a few drips and drops of coverage for regional TV news ratings last year, but so far this year nothing!

Probably due to the fact that this website doesnât (AFAIK) have an agreement with Regional TAM to publish anything.

I think this started yesterday, 9 News Central Victoria is now showing 7 day forecast for Echuca. I am surprised it took them this long
Yeah, I guess so. But even getting a vague idea from press releases and articles from the local newspapers would be good!
Hopefully some stuff will come out over the next week or so.

Nine News North QLD from last night. Video jumps a little at times, wasnât broadcast like that, just an issue with my recording.
This is the full segment through to the first ad break. As you can see bushfire coverage continued for the first 11 minutes of the bulletin.
Last segment of the bulletin after last ad break, including weather and closer.

The discussion was on 9GEM in Central NT though, which is in fact broadcast live from Sydney. Meaning programming scheduled for 8:30pm does actually air at 7:00pm NT time in Central NT

about time and about time that the Goulburn Valley get there own broadcast instead of listen about what going on in Bendigo or Albury all the time. Nearly Nil Local sports coverage and lucky with one story about the GV based story. All about Albury /Wodonga

Watching tonight and a story was included in the local window which mentioned an incident that the reporter said happened âyesterdayâ.
Yet it would be well known by anyone watching that the story concerned was actually from Sunday, and the CCTV footage shown also clearly had âSundayâ written.
Possibly a story held over that couldnât be included in yesterdayâs window?

The current topical promos for Nineâs regional bulletins certainly arenât going to win awards. But compared to the quality of some local news promos Iâve seen from Prime7 and WIN over the years, Nineâs promos arenât that bad.
Nineâs strategy with regional news & their flagship metro news still seems a bit confusing.
As an example, the top story on both bulletins was the flash flooding that cut off the Hume Highway near Wangaratta, requiring those stranded to be airlifted from their cars.
9 Border North East â Chris Mitchell report with live cross on scene
9 Melbourne â Carrie-Anne Greenbank report with live cross on scene
Wouldnât it make more sense to fully utilise their regional resources a short drive from Albury, rather than the approx 5.5 hour return trip (not including all the road blocks!) just to have a metro reporter cover it for the metro market?

Nicole Rowles and Paul Murphy presented in Queensland/Darwin tonight with Sophie Ryan on weather.
Brisbane reporter Adam Jackson presented sport (the first time Paul Murphy hasnât presented since he started, as far as I know).

I do tend to agree with that.
Though I guess the Chris Mitchell report has a more local angle to it and being a more familiar face to Border North East viewers.
The same happens here in Northern NSW with NBN and Nine both covering the same item with their own reporters.

This happens on Nine News Sydney (particularly with reports from Northern NSW) all the time, so itâs somewhat reassuring to hear that âmetro-ficationâ of regional news is also happening South of the Border.

I liked Paul in the anchor chair-much more than Adam Hegarty.
Paul Taylor was at a community event in Cairns, QLD. They crossed to him live at 6.20.
