With the number of businesses closed and closing and now a media agency looking at the NT population as possibly not financially viable to sustain a presence, the future is indeed bleak! Always looking for the upside, may l suggest that news worthy NT stories, now to be included as a portion of another states news presentation will go so far as to educate a far larger Australian taxpayer audience of the corruption and mismanagement of Territory governance. Maybe in an attempt to fight for existence, these remnant channel nine employees might fight a little harder to present the NT poor show
Good, we have citizen journalism now, the Darwin networked mainstream media mob must realise the demise is due to their biased, not factual or interesting reporting.
This is very bad. The NT won’t be represented on a major commercial news network at all. It is un Australian and unacceptable! Part of the responsibility of Journalism is to represent ALL people of Australia, especially those who don’t have a voice themselves. We are part of Australia and one of the most newsworthy parts of Australia.
This is Channel Nine at its worst. They will live to regret. You can’t just bone an entire Territory of Australia! And doing it out of Queensland does not cut it. How ridiculous. Maybe axe that stupid MAFS they spend a fortune on and just leaves us confused and distressed after IG stars go on there for 10, not even 15 minutes of fame.
What are we coming to as a society? Money over public interest is what this is. Not good enough. The Government should step in. We still have ABC but we shouldn’t have to rely on one news source. We are not Russia – yet!
Angry, long term Territorian and supporter of public information.
Well let’s face it, that guy pretending he was in Darwin was patronising anyway. Mispronouncing place names etc. Now I can get dinner ready without worrying I’ll miss the news. Sympathy with those who had the rug pulled out from under them though. I hope you go on to bigger and better things.
Free to air TV has been on a downward slide for years. Sad for those losing their jobs, but they won’t be the last. It’s just the way things are going.

A shaky ending to news in Darwin leaving the one sided ABC to produce the only local TV news.

“commitment to the Northern Territory”
I don’t think so
A bit less TV to waste time watching.

Maybe Lia can give the Journalists partners lucrative Board roles at the Waterfront?
