Yes, with a small Seven News billboard on the side. Not sure when it changed though, as I’ve moved in the last year (I used to live around the corner from it).

I think it was in the last month as I went past a Christmas time(and been going past an not noticing it the last week)
NBN is not an affiliated station.
It’s a network owned station.
NBN has the highest rated local news at 6 of any nine station in the country.
More people watch TV at 6 then 530 and ad revenue is significantly higher at 6 then 530
Moving NBNs most watched show of local news out of primetime would be revenue suicide. And putting out of market Sydney local news at 6 would be revenue suicide too.
NBN has had local news at 6 for 40+ years. Moving it would Murder ad sales and revenue

Nick Hose joins 7NEWS regional bulletins
Australia’s number one regional news service is pleased to announce Nick Hose will join its team, presenting the nightly bulletins alongside newsreader Madelaine Collignon.
Hose and Collignon will team up to anchor 7NEWS regional bulletins from 6pm, Monday 13 February on 7NEWS Coast, 7NEWS New England, 7NEWS Central West, 7NEWS Riverina and 7NEWS Border.
Hose brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having worked across the ABC and Seven Network as a producer, journalist and presenter.
Seven Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson said: “We’re enormously proud of the contribution 7NEWS makes to the communities of regional Australia. We invest in news and we deliver it to massive parts of our country where other networks have chosen to walk away from. Putting Nick into the lead presenter role ensures our loyal audiences continue to receive quality local news from a quality newsman.”
Director of 7NEWS Regional News, Paul Patrick, said: “We are thrilled Nick is joining our team. He is an experienced journalist and presenter, and we know our viewers will welcome him as well. 7NEWS is the local news market leader across regional Australia and we are confident Nick will ensure our market leadership continues.”
Hose said: “I am thrilled to be joining Madelaine behind the desk to deliver news to our local audiences. There has never been a more exciting time to work in news and I can’t wait to get out into the community and cover the stories that matter.”
The appointment follows an extraordinary result in the ratings for 7NEWS regional programs last year, winning every week of the survey year.
7NEWS Regional 6.00pm weeknights, Channel 7 and 7plus

Unfortunately, this means Kirstie won’t be presenting the news any time soon.

Nick will also end up reading sports as well. Meaning the end of steve murphy reading the sports from albury.

Got to say I disagree - there is no need to double-head a half-hour bulletin.

i still wonder when and if 7 move regional into the new facility in Sydney if Madeline will go or stay with family in Canberra. I keep hearing stories in Canberra about how the building is falling apart and no maintenance is happening

Has Seven said or stated that they’re moving regional production to Sydney? Or are we just assuming?

Just assuming it’s been discussed at length in this topic. Nothing has been confirmed either way it’s still business as usual let’s move on and not enter this meaningless discussion again.

Nine’s hierarchy hasnt always been the most intelligent
- Eddie McGuire as CEO;
- Letting Lisa Wilkinson defect to Channel 10;
- Letting Mark Ferguson defect to Channel 7;
- Leaving David Campbell on Today Extra instead of giving other opportunities - either a revamped Midday Show or putting him in as host of A Current Affair;
- Keeping Karl Stefanovic as host of Today despite his continual brushes with controversy;
- Not fighting harder to continue its 40+ years association with domestic cricket - that one was a real slap in the face to cricket fans around the country with very limited access to free to air cricket under the current and future agreements;
- more or less screening the exact content that other main FTA commercial stations;
- Informercials and religion screening from 1am til at least 10am every day on 9Gem;
- In Tasmania, Nine News Tasmania is to air from 6pm til 7pm, moving Win News Tasmania to 5:30pm
i could go on, but you know, there are a lot of mistakes that Nine have made (and continue to make now). Do you remember back in the day of the Packer-Bond-Packer ownership cycle - the morning news disappeared in late 1989 and returned in 1991?
She was about to be replaced / let go and caught wind of it.
Replacing him with Ovaton saw 9 reclaim the crown from 7. 9 Sydney continues to win against Ferguson on 7.
Today Extra is rating well with Campbell at helm. A Current Affair is also rating well with Langdon, and continues to win it’s timeslot by a large margin.
Ratings dipped when he was replaced with Deb and Georgie.
Tennis rates higher than cricket, and has created a winning platform to launch their Q1 programming.
? Most of their programming is exclusive to the network. They also won the ratings year last year with their programming.
What? WIN News will be REPLACED by 9 News Tasmania. It won’t be moving 5.30

Don’t forget:
- Sacking Paul Lobb from NBN News right (before Christmas just to make it worse)
- Letting Ian Ross go to 7
- Moving the Darwin news to Brisbane
- Axed Sunday
- Let WIN go to 10 and expand into northern NSW (they highly likely did it out of spite) , and stopped branding for NBN (highly likely to spite WIN)
- Didn’t make Deborah Knight the new host of A Current Affair
- Axed Nightline, then had return as the late news without any branding, and doesn’t air it on Friday’s
- Let Michael Usher go to 7
- Axed 9 News Now just before the pandemic, should of also had put in a prime time slot instead of early afternoon
WIN News Tasmania has been at 5:30pm since the affiliation swap. And I highly doubt the current form will continue as well as the 6pm Nine News Tasmania, if so I would rather it adapt a similar format to Nine News WA First/Nine Afternoon News Adelaide and have it as 2 hours of news from 5 till 7. As I said, highly unlikely and I assume it will be this:
3:00pm: Tipping Point
4:00pm: Nine’s Afternoon News Melbourne
5:00pm: Hot Seat
6:00pm: Nine News Tasmania
WIN News Tasmania will most likely be axed as a half-hour prerecorded bulletin.
