9 News, officially known as Nine News, is part of the Nine Network, one of the major free-to-air television networks in Australia. The Nine Network was founded by Australian media proprietor Sir Frank Packer in 1956, with the intention of creating a national platform for news and entertainment. Over the decades, Nine News has become one of Australia's foremost news services. Currently, the Nine Network, including Nine News, is owned by Nine Entertainment Co. Operating from Willoughby, a suburb located on the North Shore of Sydney, Nine News provides extensive coverage of local, national, and international news across various genres from politics to sports, and entertainment. They've consistently served audiences across Australia and have become a trusted name in the country's media landscape. **One interesting fact**: Nine News was the first to introduce the concept of one-hour news bulletins, which began in 2014, marking a significant shift from the traditional half-hour broadcasting format.
