Haha! Yes, that is too true.

I think the older the audience, the more rusted on their expectations are for a whole range of things (reminds me of when ABC Local Radio attempted to change the hourly news theme about 20 years ago) & Nine News Melbourne do get more blue-rinsers watching.

Wouldn't surprise me if the oldies demanded Nine make Peter Hitchener heterosexual again. :P

Btw, don't forget about Westpac's Bank of Melbourne not changing their name until 2004... The good ol' days!

Nine had to change everything in other States because Victorians started to switch off and complain about the new (well the old now) introduction. How pathetic and petty can Victorians get. It is like the old Woolworths v Safeway bullshit. Victorians wont buy from Woolworths, and this is why it is Safeway in Victoria. It is just petty.

I think that that Corey kid from Narre Warren scheduled his party to coincide with the nine relaunch....so he gets more attention from the mediaspy/australianmedia crowd....

I guess I'm being a little unfair on the Melbourne bulletin because they've had to change the least (owing to that dated music, already in use before the network revamp & GTV's unique studio background).

So, as it turns out, all they've needed to do was chop the Nine blue-cube logo... Nice days work at GTV!

agreed. Nine butchered up a perfectly good look for their newscast.

This might be a crap re-launch. But this is by far the best Nine News Opener around Australia

[stanzemanek]

All they've done is chop the Nine logo off the National Nine News logo... Pathetic!
