Nine has today announced it will complete its Australia-wide broadcast news network in 2023 with a flagship 6pm bulletin dedicated to Tasmania.

The hour-long 9News Tasmania bulletin will be produced by Nine and broadcast by Nine’s Tasmanian affiliate, live from a new Hobart studio seven days a week.

Nine’s Director of News and Current Affairs, Darren Wick said, “As Australia’s largest news organisation, Nine is committed to telling the stories that matter most.”

“This flagship bulletin will be produced and presented by Tasmanians, for Tasmanians. As one of Australia’s fastest growing markets, with a diverse industry and expanding sports scene, we couldn’t think of a better time to expand the 9Network’s news, sport and weather offering, giving the Apple Isle the live and local news they deserve.”

It will also create more local employment opportunities for journalists and production across Tasmania, as well as regional bureaus located in Launceston and on the North West Coast.

WIN News Director, Stella Lauri said, “We are committed to providing regional Australia with the best news and we look forward to offering WIN Tasmania viewers a bulletin, seven nights a week, dedicated to their state and their stories.”

The 9News Tasmania 6pm bulletin will launch in early 2023. Further announcements will be made in due course.
