Not much is certain about 2021 except the fact that it s an excellent time to be selling and eating gelato.

We’re all mindful of the extent of what they are covering.

Simon Hobbs is pretty chuffed with his new office digs.
Moving newsrooms from Nine’s historic Willoughby Studios to North Sydney, he is seeing the benefits of having all his team under the one roof.
“It’s been a total game changer for us,” he tells
TV Tonight.
Hobbs is News Director for
Nine News Sydney, but his role encompasses much more than the 6pm news. It includes the news bulletins in
Today, all national news bulletins across the day, late news, foreign desks in LA & London plus Canberra.
“We’ve never had our whole news and current affairs division in one place.
