Day 8 Athletes in Focus:

Vanessa Low, Women’s Long Jump T36

When Vanessa was 15, she accidentally stumbled from an overcrowded platform and into the path of an oncoming train. She lost her left leg above the knee and right leg through the knee, and sustained head and back injuries and multiple broken bones. Vanessa spent the next six months in hospital, and by the time she was discharged, her muscles had wasted away and she weighed just 45kgs.

Four years on from her accident she made her international debut in 2009, becoming a two-time Paralympian for Germany before she started representing Australia in 2019. She is a two time Paralympic gold medallist and the reigning world record holder in the women’s long jump T61. She is based in Canberra.

Day 8 Athletes in Focus:

Jessy Chen, Men’s Singles Class 3, Para Table Tennis Finals

Jessy (Junjian) Chen has not only found solace through sport but has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the best Para Table Tennis players in the Oceania region.

Originally from southern China, Jessy moved to the Solomon Islands with his family in 2006 as a teen. Shortly after their arrival racial tensions escalated and many Chinese-owned businesses were attacked, Jessy’s family being one of them.

He was struck with a machete, suffered massive blood loss and a heart attack. Jessy was airlifted to Australia and diagnosed a quadriplegic. Jessy was in hospital for over a year, followed by a three-month stint at the Royal Rehabilitation Centre where he had to learn to move again while learning to speak English.

Knights v Dolphins in last-game finals duel

Four NRL and Five NRLW games in Nine’s free feast on footy. Live and free on Channel 9HD, Stream on 9NOW.

It all comes down to a final-game duel for the ages when the Knights meet Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins for the last spot in the NRL finals on Sunday Arvo Footy, live and free on Channel 9HD and streaming on 9Now.

With exclusive access to McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle from 3.00pm AEST, NRL on Nine will hold the keys to the Knights fortress when the club’s favourite son, Eighth Immortal Andrew Johns, leads the coverage of the last game before the finals. And in a big double-header, the NRLW Knights will play the Broncos straight after Knights v Dolphins.

Joining Johns is the man who shared four premiership wins alongside Bennett, Darren Lockyer, plus premiership-winning coach Phil Gould, Danika Mason and Mat Thompson.

Nine’s Wide World of Sports will present a free feast of final-round rugby league with four NRL and five NRLW games that kick off with Thursday Night Footy.

Tomorrow night the Broncos are out to break their Brisbane bogey in their last appearance of the year against the Melbourne Storm, 2024 minor premiers. The Storm have won 18 of 22 matches against the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, and coach Craig Bellamy has named a full-strength line up to further stamp their authority as premiership favourites.

The game’s longest running rivalry takes over Friday Night Footy when the Rabbitohs and Roosters write the latest chapter in their never-ending book of feuds.

The Rabbitohs would love nothing more than toppling their hated rivals to end a torrid season, while the Roosters are eager to road-test playmakers Connor Watson and Sandon Smith who join the starting lineup after season-ending injuries to Sam Walker and Brandon Smith. Led by an always fired-up Cody Walker, the Bunnies won’t be making it easy for the Roosters before their off season break.

On Saturday Night Footy from 7.00pm, the powerhouse Panthers will bid farewell to their home since 1967, Penrith Park, when they meet the Gold Coast Titans for one last dance before going on the prowl for a fourth consecutive NRL premiership.

NRLW Round 7 will pit the current top 4 teams against each other in what shapes as finals dress rehearsal on Sunday afternoon. The ladder leading Sharks will meet Millie Elliot’s Roosters, while the Knights host the Broncos at 6.00pm, featuring Knights reigning Dally M Medallist Tamika Upton and Broncos legend Ali Brigginshaw. Every NRLW game is available live and free on the 9Network.

Gold, gold, gold for advertisers as a Total Television audience of 7.8 million Australians watch our Paralympians thrill at Paris 2024

As the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games reaches the halfway point, Team Australia has won the hearts of a nation, with Nine’s broadcast attracting a National TV Reach of 7.8 million over the past five days.

With 9Now contributing 13% incremental reach to Broadcast TV, the Paralympic Games has resulted in 9Now remaining the No.1 CFTA BVOD platform since the Games began on August 29.

The combination of live broadcast, live streaming and on demand television has delivered Nine’s partners, sponsors and major package holders a gold medal performance as our para athletes captivate Australia.

The Paralympic Games is yet another example of the proven power of Total TV to deliver reach at speed for Australian advertisers, with Nine’s broadcast so far attracting a Metro TV Reach of 4.4 million viewers; a Regional TV Reach of 2.4 million and 1.3 million viewers reached via 9Now. To date, the Paralympics has resulted in 9Now recording a total of 97 million views.

With Australia currently ranked sixth on the Medal Tally, the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games has provided heartwarming stories of courage and has created household names out of many para athletes. Day 5 action saw a cavalcade of medals including Gold for Lauren Parker in the Triathlon; Women’s PTWC; and the Swimming Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay featuring an incredible last anchor leg by Alexa Leary which saw the Aussies go from fourth to first.

Meanwhile, Jamieson Leeson and Daniel Michel won Silver in their Boccia finals; Jake Michel won Silver for his 100m Breastroke final and both The Steeler wheelchair rugby team and Javelin Throw F64 Michal Burian won Bronze.

Nine’s Director of Sales – Sports, Matt Granger, said: “The Paralympics has again reinforced the powerhouse of Total Television for audiences and brands. Our independent interim insight report has already shown that the Paris Olympics and now the Paralympic Games, are delivering brand awareness results significantly above any other major event benchmark.”

“With more extraordinary para athlete performances and stories to come, there are more opportunities for our partner brands to benefit from this incredible association within Nine’s coverage of the Paralympic Games.”

9News awarded gold in the ratings game

9News Queensland is celebrating its continued dominance as the premier and most trusted local news bulletin, with less than three months remaining in the official OzTAM survey period.

Queensland’s longest-serving and top presenting duo, Melissa Downes and Andrew Lofthouse, have once again earned the gold medal. Throughout the 40-week OzTAM calendar, they topped the ratings for 24 weeks in the Monday to Friday 6.00pm to 7.00pm timeslot, and for 21 weeks in the Sunday to Saturday 6.00pm to 7.00pm period. Their strong performance is underscored by a notable Total TV Reach of 2.8 million and a Total TV Average Audience of 185,000 (Monday to Friday).

Melissa Downes said: “What a sparkling result for the 9News Queensland team, and what better way to celebrate than with the dazzling Riverfire festivities over the weekend. This year has been truly monumental, and it’s an honour to be part of a team so dedicated to delivering the news that matters to Queenslanders.

“Each bulletin is a collective team effort, and we’re fortunate to work with the best in the business. We’re immensely grateful to our viewers for their daily support and look forward to connecting with and thanking them when we’re out in the community.”

Andrew Lofthouse said: “Reaching the top spot in the ratings is always an honour. It’s all thanks to the hard work of the people behind the scenes who make each bulletin a reality, and of course the amazing support from our loyal viewers.

“This year has been a special one, bringing Queenslanders the very best of Paris at the historic Olympic Games and now getting to cheer on our Paralympians. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to infuse a contagious energy into our bulletins and it is clear how Queenslanders responded.”

Adding to the 9News gold rush, 9News Gold Coast, presented by Paul Taylor and Eva Milic, remained the city’s preferred bulletin, maintaining the top spot every week of the OzTAM survey calendar year-to-date*. Additionally, 9News Queensland 4.00pm, presented by Aislin Kriukelis and Alison Ariotti, has notched up 25 weeks of success, proving its competitive strength.

Amanda Paterson, Director of 9News Queensland, said: “We are thrilled to see 9News achieve record ratings this year and stand out as the leading local news service. From our flagship 6.00pm bulletin to our popular Gold Coast and 4.00pm broadcasts, we’ve firmly established ourselves at the top.

“This year has been particularly significant, with local athletes shining on the global stage. Nine’s exclusive coverage of the Paris Olympics showcased Australia’s remarkable achievements and highlighted incredible stories, thanks to our dedicated newsroom. As we look to the Paris Paralympic Games, we’re excited to continue to bring these stories to our viewers.

“The unwavering support from Queenslanders has been crucial in driving our commitment to excellence. I want to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of our team, whose dedication is key to our success. Gold all round!”

The 2024 OzTAM television survey concludes on November 30.

Australia’s best beach and travel dreams revealed as 9Travel and Today launch ‘Aussie Travel Trends Index’

Wineglass Bay in Tasmania has been voted Australia’s best beach while the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour is our country’s favourite ‘big thing’, according to exclusive research conducted by Nine.

As spring arrives and thoughts of a getaway become reality, 9Travel and Today have joined forces to launch the Aussie Travel Trends Index – a comprehensive survey into the travel habits of Australians.

The research, conducted through the Nine Audience Insights team, looked at where, when and how Australians are travelling, the emerging trends in travel and some key shifts for the future.

The number one beach in Australia, voted for by Nine readers and viewers, was a surprise with iconic locations like Bondi beach being pushed out by the picturesque Wineglass Bay in Tasmania. Closely followed by Whitehaven Beach in Queensland, Hyams Beach in NSW and Noosa Beach, Surfers Paradise rounded out the top five. Sydney’s Bondi had only 4% of the Nine audience ranking it as the number one beach destination.

While Nine audiences’ travelled to all Australian states and territories, Far North Queensland and Melbourne were the winners when it came to domestic travel, while overwhelmingly Europe was the top overseas holiday destination.

Australians also revealed they were willing to spend up to $5,000 on a domestic holiday and up to $20,000 on an international trip.

When it came to “Big Things” the number one Big Thing was the Big Banana in Coffs Harbour, followed by the Big Pineapple then the Big Merino.

The Aussie Travel Trends Index also looked at the best camping spots, the top tourist destination, Australia’s favourite regional town and the best Honeymoon spot.

“The Aussie Travel Trends Index highlights all the very best things about our great country – as well as providing valuable insights for our commercial partners. We can tell you exactly how much our audience wants to spend and where,” said Director of Nine.com.au Kerri Elstub.

Steven Burling, Director of Morning Television, said: “Today viewers are passionate travellers and they particularly love exploring Australia. I know they’ll be intrigued to see where their favourite destinations place on the Aussie Travel Trends Index.”

The research will be rolled out across 9Travel over the next ten weeks – and will be presented on Today in a series of appearances by keen traveller and presenter Sami Lukis.
