Moog… Andrew Daddo? Are you serious? The man killed the long running 11AM on Seven and then This Afternoon was DOA in less than two weeks.

Why don’t they get Andrew Daddo to host it? He must have some of his contract left to work out…

@ tom tom – nine’s getting new news graphics again?

They should just go back to the old globe look and stick with it. It was far more authoritative and recognisable than their current look.

Now that the Nightline name will be restored, will the trademark theme be next? And what will the reports finish with? Will it be (for example) “Peter Harvey, (for) Nightline” or “Peter Harvey, Nine News”?

Yes Russell (2:19pm), it would be nice if the WIN owned stations aired Nightline again. But somehow I don’t think a simple name change will move them (which is a shame).

What next? The re-instatement of the National Nine News brand? The goodwill and prestige attached to that name accelerated the downfall of Nine’s News. Just when you think the train wreck can’t get any uglier… Perhaps they can drop the dots again so that some faceless executive can justify their existence and ridiculous salary package.

This just in: Nine has announced that Nightline has been replaced by Two and a Half Men.

Correction: Nightline will in fact be on after all.

Breaking: Nightline is now on Go!

It never really occurred to that they changed the name until you just pointed it out, and I even watch it (usually accidentally, as the time is always different as you point out David). Shows how much attention I was paying. Does that mean they will include more interviews?

The start time varying is not the problem, the inaccurate EPG is the problem – especially when the news starts 5 minutes early and you miss the main stories. Or other nights you switch over to find you have to sit through 10 minutes of the previous show finishing before getting the news.
