Agreed. But still Nine News Melbourne rates so much better than Seven News on weekends even during the AFL season, why?
How does the quality of content on Seven News Melbourne compare to that of Nine News Melbourne?
I guess if you watch the weekday bulletin then your more than likely to watch the weekend one, unless you live in Queensland and only watch 7 on weekends because of Kay.

While reporters are important I guess it mainly comes down to the presenter of the bulletin for the higher ratings.

@Tom_TV7 personally l think Jennifer Keyte who of course is a veteran newsreader is the best Melbourne Seven newsreader, Alicia is not in the same league as Jen as a newsreader in my opinion.
When it comes to bulletin content in Melbourne l find Nine content more superior than Seven.

I think Seven News Perth might produce local morning news since the morning news already aired live.
Well if we are getting techical, then I should fix this one too
No it doesnât.
Seven News Melbourne with Jennifer Keyte was #1 on Saturdays last year (confirmed by @TV.Cynic).
Ohh Jen is definitely a veteran of the industry and has a lot more gravitas than Alicia. But poor Jen is a bit like Ann Sanders (when she did the Sydney news), just hasnât managed to crack the #1 spot weeknights

Although Jen did have a good run at being #1 on weekends not so long ago. So at least she has had some glory because she has definitely worked hard for it

The desk has never changed colour in breaking news mode, and the glassy panels on each side of the main backdrop are still blue (they turn red in breaking mode).
And in Melbourne they were watching Brian Naylor over Jennifer Keyte on Seven and David Johnston on Ten (later Seven)[quote=âSalty, post:3420, topic:103â]
Karen Michael quit Nine Melbourne in December last year.

Well I am from Adelaide lol, I was just going through the meet the team section on 9news.com.au to find out most of the info. I think those that have included the new regional bulletin reporters need to update the metro profiles as well.

Never has that Iâve seen but I could be wrong. The desk stayed red all bulletin though, not just during the opener.
