The minor graphics tweaks that you saw for the Super Saturday were likely to distinguish it from the State (general elections).
Plus, it is much harder to revamp a look for a 3-4 hour bulletin than a 2 minute news update. They might as well recycle the same package that was used for coverage of every other state election.
Yes.
Ouch. Sums up their event coverage year really.
I guess so.
Will be rather interesting to see whether the On-Air Presentation package used by Nine for the Victorian Election last night will be kept for the NSW Election on March 23, because that could be a really good opportunity to trial a refreshed package (especially if Studio 22 is used for the Election coverage, with Studio 21 still in use for the 6pm News) for the next Federal Election.

Did ⫶⫶⫶9 have any of those cringeworthy contrived features that they usually have (e.g. shark tank, shredder) for elections?
Yes, the ‘Grand Slammer’. Also known as a tennis cross promotion.
There’s a cap of it in post 107.
I would wait til June/July.
I know I shouldn’t have an opinion (heck, you had to endure the coverage, not me) but what didn’t you like about Nine’s coverage? From an outsider, the panel was better and the set/graphics was better.
Do we know how the 6pm portion of Ten News First in Melbourne performed?
VEC says another round of seat count updates at 5pm
Here’s a montage of the 6pm bulletin on 10
And the 9:40 bulletin. Watch the crowd give dirty looks towards Nick Etchells when he (unnecessarily) yells his live cross, distracting the audience from Dan Andrews:
1.20 of closer and that just demonstrated how bland that new channel 10 news theme is. What a waste.
Don’t get me wrong, I really do like this theme, but I must agree that when played for long periods (as per the closer), it really is bland; like when the Nine News theme is played in a repeated loop
Jennifer Keyte presenting local news again tonight.
anyone have ratings on Tens local bulletin last night?
It’s available on TVtonight if you want to see, the figure obviously can’t be posted here.
Matthew Guy has announced he will be stepping down as leader of the Victorian Liberals.
Better late then never, here are a couple of videos of Nine’s election night coverage from last Saturday.
Firstly, the opener and closer to the 6pm bulletin with Hitch:
