A fairly big gap is evident between Seven and Nine Adelaide - with Nine on the winning side.
A year ago, this wasn’t the case. Seven had a fair lead at the time.
To see Nine on the winning side in less than a year, I guess things are working out for them. In what way have they been addressing the problem, I’m wondering? The lead in hasn’t been changed yet and while the weekend presenters are now part of a duo that gathered attention in the first two weeks, it hasn’t made any long-term dent.
That’s the funny part - when they introduced it Sunday, it was then that the tables turned. Still wondering whether that was a coincidence
The thing is that not only did the reshuffle and axing of Jess Adamson and Tim Noonan bite somehow, the fact that they also axed SA Weekender late 2019 wouldn’t have worked in their favour too. SA with Cosi on Nine is regularly winning its slot which would definitely help Nine. Seven could revive SA Weekender and give it a big promotional push but who knows if it will work.
Odd, this report is based in Queensland, but comes across as local with Tim on field, and that there is no mention of this former cop being related to VIC Police (as per the actual report).
I was under the impression this occured in Perth, so it’s a pretty misleading promo. Although, I’m glad it didn’t occur here either way.
Perhaps but the presentation has to at least be pleasing to the eye for the average viewer. The contrast between Nine’s professionally designed, high end set and the what appears to be an in-house, cobbled together effort from Seven couldn’t be more stark. Nine looks like they’ve spent money while Seven’s set and the publicity surrounding cutbacks at the station reinforces to viewers Nine has the greater commitment to the Adelaide audience.
It will be interesting to see if Brisbane lead tonight’s news with Frank Warrick’s passing or the exclusive report of the arrest tapes and police interviews as the follow-up from yesterday’s report.
