It's happened in Brisbane before.

Darwin, too. Maybe it's another type of exclusive super? Weird...

Some Hitchner guy was talking about floods then it went to Sydney were it should have been to start with.

Peter Hitchener. Nine's best at 6pm.

When did this go to air?

[unrivalledcoverage]

Considering the SkyWest planes, I'm going to say STW put it to air during the flooding, which happened around the same time as the QLD floods, I think?

I think its the theme from a bulletin from the 2006-2008 period and WAtv has found some footage to go with it.

Carnarvon and Gascoyne river area flood of Dec 2010.

Spot on. Someone sent me that audio years ago and I couldn't be stuffed making a background loop for it...

Thanks for posting it, NewsKing.

Nine Network Australia
Appoints Director of News and Current Affairs


Nine Network Managing Director, Jeff Browne, today announced the appointment of Darren Wick to the role of Director of News and Current Affairs.

“Darren is one of those rare people who has a thirst and talent for news and current affairs embedded in his DNA. His extraordinary commitment and effort has been fundamental to Nine’s News performance, topped off with a great win in Sydney last year. Darren has rightly earned the respect of all in our newsrooms across the country, as well as other television networks and major news organisations and he is the natural choice to assume the top role in News and Current Affairs at Nine.” said Jeff Browne today.

Darren has been with the Network for 16 years, currently as Sydney News Director. His other roles over that period have included Executive Producer on A Current Affair and Today Show. Prior to joining the Nine, Darren began his career at News Ltd as a journalist on The Daily Mirror followed by a stint in the UK working in television news and current affairs.

“I’m honoured to take on the baton of Director of News and Current Affairs. We have an outstanding team around the country and I look forward to working with them on building our success nationally.” said Darren Wick.

David Gyngell, Chief Executive Officer of Nine Entertainment Co, said: “Darren has earned the post with sheer hard work and leadership – he’s an outstanding appointment”.

Nine News has had tremendous success thus far in 2012, with the weekly 6pm News bulletin winning the ratings battle across the East Coast in Sydney and in Melbourne. We look forward to rolling that success out across the network under Darren’s administration for years to come.

Good to see. Hopefully he can bring Brisbane's ratings up too- QTQ's bulletin is by far the best in the market.

Wonder why Louise did it for Perth and not Greg?

No need to quote the video thanks.

They are taking this out of proportion and making the leadership crisis more than it really is.

Funny they used Louise not Greg.

Wonder why Louise did it for Perth and not Greg?

Greg is off for the week. Maybe just filmed it today or yesterday (bad planning perhaps).

[jimbo]

Yes Greg is away this week, not really that funny, i'd say 9 in the east told Perth at the last minute about this (like so many things!), giving them no chance to do it with Greg.

The video was shot yesterday by each newsroom.

Well there you go.

[Mr Wade]

That was really interesting to see the Nine Newsreaders from all of the country in the one video (even if it did have Louise instead of Greg representing Perth). The last time something like that happened would have been when Brian Henderson retired if I'm not mistaken.

[unrivalledcoverage]

The video also shows the shocking picture quality of STW and their solarium style lighting.
