Nine News
Australian news service
Nine News (stylised as 9News) is a national news service on the Nine Network in Australia. Its flagship program is an hour-long bulletin at 6:00 pm, with editions produced by Nine's owned-and-operated stations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. A half-hour news program for the Gold Coast also airs every weeknight before the 6:00pm news. National bulletins air throughout the day and evening, broadcast from Nine's headquarters in Sydney.
Until the mid-2000s, Nine News was positioned as the highest-rated news service in Australia, but it was overtaken by rival news service Seven News in 2005 before regaining the top position in 2013.
History
9News, previously known as Channel 9 News (1956–1969) in Sydney and Brisbane, Television City News (1957–1969) in Melbourne, National Nine News (1969–1976, 1980–2008), 9 Eyewitness News (1976–1980) — is one of Australia's longest-running television news services, founded in 1958, along with Seven News on the rival Seven Network.
On 20 October 2008, National Nine News was renamed to Nine News.
On 1 January 2024, Nine News updated the new on-air presentation graphic and brand as 9News.
On 8 June 2025, Nine News received international attention when its American correspondent Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet by a police officer while covering the June 2025 Los Angeles protests.
At Nine's 2023 upfront presentation, Nine announced the upcoming launch of Nine News Tasmania, a new bulletin to air from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm seven nights a week on TVT Tasmania, on-par with Nine's other flagship bulletins.

Why this record matters
The phrase “australian news service” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7038406. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2013, 1956 and 1969.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
