In July 2017, it was reported that the station's nightly news program, "Nine News Darwin", would move its studio presentation from Darwin to Nine's Brisbane studios and replace local weekend bulletins with delayed broadcasts of the Queensland bulletin. The last standalone edition of "Nine News Darwin" aired on 8 September 2017. The bulletin returned on Monday 11 September 2017, in a new regional hub in Brisbane. The changes were heavily criticised by the public, with 12 employees at the network being made redundant or offered redeployment in other locations. After the initial cuts, the newsroom was left with a chief of staff, four reporters and four camera operators filing reports interstate. Subsequent cuts further reduced the newsroom with a chief of staff, three reporters and three camera operators.
