It’s NOW or never for Nine

It’s now official! Official in the sense that the 9NOW catchup service is now officially fucked!

The bitter and twisted, washed-up, hacks who compile this column are basically more dumbstruck than normal this morning to find that 9Now’s monster fuckup of recent Nine News Queensland 6pm bulletins has … and we think Trumpian caps are warranted here …NOW ENTERED ITS FOURTH DAY!

That’s right. This column’s much nicer younger sibling Mediocre Bytes sadly reported back on Saturday that 9NOW’s collection of the past week’s Brisbane bulletins all plugged the wonderful Nine News team in Adelaide!

Here’s an extract..

Before we leave Nine News Queensland, it’s really great to see that 9NOW this morning (Saturday) is really at the top of its game!

UPDATE: At 4.08pm Queensland time, this hadn’t been fixed! 9WOW!

Back to Tuesday morning and at 8am it’s sad to report – but we’ll happily repeat – that this Ninefield of incompetence/indifference has now entered ITS FOURTH DAY! Is there anyone at 9NOW, Nine News Brisbane or the overall parent company Nine Entertainment Co. who gives a flying fuck how this looks.

Sunday night’s bulletin read by Aislin Kriukelis was the latest to laud the Nine Network’s Adelaide team of newsreaders and reporters.

But wait! There’s more. You eagle-eyed BUGgers out there are probably wondering why Sunday night’s fuckup is the latest 9Now fuckup?

Aislin Kriukelis’ second slap in the face at the weekend was uploaded not long after Sunday’s 6pm bulletin ended so someone at 9NOW – we think the bloke’s name is Al Gorithm – is still at work even if he’s terrible at it.

So last night (Monday) our MGH compilers remained somewhat confident – silly optimistic fools that they are despite decades of disappointment – that once the two main newsreaders – the head honchos, the numero unos, the big cheeses, the A team, in Melissa Downes and Joel Dry were back behind the desk – someone would finally fix this shit.

But no. In fact, Monday’s night’s bulletin from all of Nine’s capital city newsrooms are yet to be uploaded! Has Nine Entertainment Co. gone broke?

And even if and when Monday’s nights 9 News bulletins around the nation are uploaded, will the Adelaide team still get all the credit for the Queensland bulletin?

Australia’s best media-watch platform will keep you posted!

UPDATE: Oooh! Isn’t Sydney privileged! At 9.19am Tuesday, we’ve spotted that Peter Overton’s Monday night bulletin has made it on to 9Now. Other capitals still lagging behind.

It’s only taken four days but we’ve just noticed at 9.40am Tuesday that 9NOW has finally fixed their main Nine News Queensland plug online. They must be very, very, proud. Fingers crossed that the Monday night bulletin will soon be uploaded, also with no fucking mention of Adelaide!

UPDATE: Monday night’s bulletin now up and fixed! And if 9NOW deserves any credit at all, they’ve also fixed all the past seven or so bulletins! Vale Adelaide.
