This looks like an example of one of the Nine News issues revealed above. Inability to source the original news file and relying on YouTube uploads of the bulletins for archive footage. As seen in Brisbane tonight.

Heard a story from a reliable source a few weeks ago that it almost made its way into the radio network when television staff were asked to work offsite in the days after the attack.

Have the issues affected nine’s corporate website(nineforbrands.com.au)? notice there have been no media releases or updates there for a couple of weeks now.
Nine still send out press releases to other media outlets such as TV Blackbox. I am sure TVCynic will have received them too.

It was reported in The Australian that they can’t take any new ad bookings at the moment, I believe across TV, radio and print. The hack has crippled that system as well.

That’s the most important revenue raising part. Do you know what the underlying tech that is used by that system?
Not sure if this is an example of the ongoing issues - showing the news reports filed for the major bulletins have their supers burnt into the footage.

You would have thought they would keep a clean version even if it meant going to Officeworks and buying an external hard drive.

They’re probably ingesting at least 500+ hours of footage a day across the network.

Because it’s an exclusive, I’d say it’s burned in during the edit.
Yeah revenue has taken a hit. Not sure exactly what the issue is but they just can’t take new bookings. I imagine some nationals will be getting some freebies to fill gaps.
So maybe a couple of hard drives then!
Yeah, I’m surprised they’re having to go through and source these copies but at least they’re being able to do that. Their archives footage would be absolutely massive I’d imagine and trying to keep clean and final copies would be a huge challenge and finding storage, even with it being much cheaper these days in the cloud or physically.
