Nightline is a late-night news bulletin produced by Nine News. Introduced in 1992, it was axed in 2008 then brought back in 2009. It aired at around 11.30 pm weeknights, but is not shown in Perth or Adelaide. Nightline is currently presented by Kellie Connolly. Its main competitors are Ten Late News and ABC News's Lateline - which both air prior to Nightline at 10:30pm The series was patterned after the version that airs on ABC (US), but that one is different from the Australian counterpart even though at one point both versions used the same opening graphics, which both no longer use.
[edit] About the News Bulletin[edit] HistoryIn 2007, Nightline was also broadcast at 10:30pm on Nine HD, an hour before it was broadcast on Nine SD. This only lasted for a short period of time, however. Nightline was axed on Friday 25 July 2008 due to budget constraints as part of Nine's news and current affairs division.[1] Wendy Kingston presented the final edition. In May 2009, Nine's late news bulletin was re-introduced into the 11:30pm time slot left vacant by Nightline. Nine Late News, presented by Wendy Kingston, was first broadcast on Monday 4th May 2009. In November 2009, Nine's Late News was re-launched as Nightline. Nine News was also given a new look. [edit] Presenters

[edit] FormatNightline consists of news, sport, finance and weather. Reports were sourced mainly from Nine News reports nationwide, but the bulletin sometimes also includes reports from A Current Affair and international news services. [edit] PresentationCurrently Nightline uses the same opener as Nine News, except the buildings are shown at night. The Nine News Sydney set is used for the program with the Sydney skyline as a backdrop, however only one presentation angle is used on the set. Nightline will be moving sets soon and will begin to broadcast in HD at the same time. In 2008, Nightline's opening sequence used the same generic city buildings of the National Nine News opener, except that they were shown at night instead. Nightline also used its own arrangement of the National Nine News background. The set for the bulletin used Chroma key, with the keyed background usually a live shot of Sydney at night.
