==News== {{further|Nine News Sydney|Nine News|label2=9News}} ''9News Sydney'' is TCN's flagship nightly news bulletin presented by [[Peter Overton]] on Monday to Friday nights and [[Georgie Gardner]] on Saturday & Sunday nights. Sports news is presented by [[James Bracey]] on Sunday to Thursday nights and Roz Kelly on Friday and Saturday nights. [[Amber Sherlock]] presents the weather on Sunday to Thursday nights and Belinda Russell on Friday and Saturday nights. [[Jayne Azzopardi]] and Mark Burrows are regular fill-in presenters. [[Brian Henderson (television presenter)|Brian Henderson]] was Nine's Sydney news presenter for a record 45 years - including 38 years presenting on weeknights. Retiring in November 2002, Henderson was succeeded as weeknight presenter by [[Jim Waley]], who was at the time host of the ''Sunday'' program and was one of Nine's most experienced presenters. In January 2005, despite some considerable ratings success, Waley was replaced as weeknight presenter by [[Mark Ferguson (news presenter)|Mark Ferguson]], who was previously the weekend presenter. Ferguson's successor as weekend presenter [[Mike Munro]] resigned in 2008 and was replaced by [[Michael Usher]]. In 2009, following a continuing run of poor ratings, Ferguson was demoted to his former role as weekend news presenter, with [[Peter Overton]] taking over as news presenter on weeknights. Later in the year, Ferguson was removed from the presenting duties on the Sydney bulletins after announcing his decision to move to the [[Seven Network]], but he didn't move to Seven until he trialled the hosting duties on ''Nine's Afternoon News'' only appearing on-air up until his departure on 25 September 2009. [[Deborah Knight]] was appointed as Friday & Saturday night presenter with [[Peter Overton]] now also presenting the Sunday night bulletin. In 2011, ''Nine News Sydney'' officially overtook ''[[Seven News|Seven News Sydney]]'' in the ratings for the first time in seven years, winning 26 weeks to Seven's 14 weeks.<ref>[http://www.mediaspy.org/report/2011/10/22/nine-news-sydney-takes-ratings-crown-from-seven/ 9News Sydney takes ratings crown from Seven], Media Spy, 22 October 2011</ref>
