Getting Rid of Adelaide ACA would have to be one of the dumbest moves ever made this side of axing Temptation in favour of that Charlie Sheen Crap.

Peter, it’s not harsh, it’s a statement of fact. And, yes, if Nine Sydney loses a night in ratings then it’ll drag down the overall national figures. I don’t blame WIN Corp for the bad figures in Adelaide & Perth. Those people are just in love with Seven for some unknown reason.

“drag down total figures”? a bit harsh david… when TCN loses to ATN are they too “dragging down” the total figure?

Media often report the national figures for Seven v Nine News. Nine can’t touch the Adelaide & Perth productions that continue to drag down total figures yet they are lumped together.

She can’t leave the network when she doesn’t work
for them. She works (or worked) for NWS not Nine.

Also how does WIN owning the affiliates in Perth & Adelaide reflect on the TCN, GTV and QTQ local editions?

My guess is that they will go with mike smythe and and rob kelvin. the biggest problem for nine is that some of their stories have been found out to be lies which was found out by mediawatch. good luck to kelly. she will find work as the readers are bumped from network to network.

They are getting rid of Adelaide ACA?

I think production values are poor for both. The audio for Nine in adelaide on analogue lacks treble. It sounds muffled.

Truly don’t understand this, if they were going to get rid of anyone surely it would have to be Rob Kelvin, been there for so many years, isn’t it time? Or both maybe, but not just Kelly, my guess she’ll turn up on radio somewhere.

They need to get rid of both Kelly and Rob and start again. Kelly is dull, Rob is getting on in years and makes frequent mistakes and pauses between every third or fourth word.

I quite liked her but I have a feeling Kate Collins from ACA might take her place

While I think it’s a good thing to see plus-size women on tv she isn’t that good. No loss really.

I dropped Channel Nine’s Adelaide news earlier this year. Every story is always somehow related back to football or sport. “A budding fotoballer got stabbed last night”, “a football hero was in a high speed chase last night” and on and on and on. Man I hate the words footballer and hero in the same sentance. Oxy-moron if I ever heard one.
Channel Seven news is also terrible, every story has to have a minimum of three puns in it in order to go to air.

Wonder who will take her place?

Channel 7 Adelaide has such better production values, the whole feel of the service is superior to Nine Adelaide

It’s only a news program? I really don’t understand the fuss about how the news’ ratings. All news programs report the same story anyways just with different reporters. big deal. It just a collect of the same current events story, give or take a few different prespective on the story/different content

It must be something to do with the news’ advertising propgranda (advertsing a news program really? its all the same content you know) or people’s fanboy-ism towards a certain network channel. I’m leaner towards the latter

I reckon this financial economic crisis thingy might have been called over a bit prematurely.
