Channel Nine launches ‘live and local’ breakfast news in Perth
Channel Nine has launched live local breakfast news bulletins in Perth as the network ramps up its efforts to win viewers in Seven’s traditional heartland.
The network aired its first morning news bulletins from Perth at 7am and 8.30am this morning as part of the Today show, followed by a half hour news update at 11.30am.
Nine News anchor Tim McMillan presents the weekday Perth news bulletins with co-host Sally Ayhan providing weather, traffic and petrol price updates.
Extra reporters, producers, editors, camera operators and production staff have been recruited for the new bulletins and it marks the Nine network’s first major investment in the Perth station since its acquisition of the station from WIN television last year and appointment of former Ten programmer David Mott as managing director.
Hi from a BIG FAN OF THE TODAY SHOW 🙂 and have been for years, and I have always preferred the Today show team to that other mob 😉 However, I have been forced to switch over for half an hour because it’s the news, personalities, light entertainment and humour I miss, such a great way to start the day!
I’m also a big fan of news programs, but I think we already have plenty of choice late in the afternoon and evening as well. I think people watch the morning shows for different reasons, IE. OTHER NOT HAPPY TODAY SHOW FANS!
Kind regards
Hi there came in half way this morning about the driver education story being held in Perth . I would like to see it again or get some details of this. Thanking you in advance, watching you every morning. Thank you Glenn.
I was moved by seeing all those trucks moving hay to the farmers in drought stricken areas . Then thought to myself if each one of us contributed just $1 we could raise over 20 million how many farmers could we save with this gesture . It could be set up in. Very short time . I needed an outlet to set this in motion . Interested ?
