When is Nine going to realise their move to automation is ruining their product? Their Sydney bulletin looks like amateur hour with constant technical difficulties. It’s nowhere near the slick-looking operation it used to be…not to mention its tired set and horrible graphics which do nothing for their brand and don’t align. It’s embarrassing to watch and a massive turn-off. There’s surely only so many chances you can give them before you make the switch and your habits are instantly changed.
