The Pulse is a daily segment that presents news stories from the perspectives of local personalities, offering alternative viewpoints on current events. Between 2008 and 2020, the evening bulletin was simulcast on local radio station Hope 103.2, until Hope Media launched their news service. For many decades, Nine News Melbourne was the most dominant local news service, often drawing a peak audience of more than 400,000 viewers. 9News Melbourne is presented from the GTV studios in Docklands by Alicia Loxley and Tom Steinfort (weeknights) and Peter Hitchener (weekends) with sport presented by Tony Jones (weeknights), Natalie Yoannidis (weekends) and weather presented by Madeline Spark (weeknights) and Isabel Quinlan (weekends). 9News Adelaide is presented from the NWS studios in Adelaide by Brenton Ragless (weeknights) and Will McDonald (weekends) with sport presented by Tom Rehn (weeknights) and Corey Norris (weekends) and weather presented by Jessica Braithwaite (weeknights) and Chelsea Carey (weekends). The Adelaide edition is presented from NWS studios in Adelaide by Will McDonald (Monday-Wednesday) and Alice Monfries (Thursday-Friday), sport presenter Tom Rehn, and weather presenter Jessica Braithwaite.

Rob Gell formerly presented the weather until 2003, when he was replaced by Nixon; Gell subsequently defected to the rival Seven News Melbourne bulletin presenting the weather on weekends. As of September 2017, the Brisbane weekend bulletins are simulcast in the Darwin area on weekends. In February 2018, in a minor network reshuffle, weekend presenters Darren Curtis and Alison Ariotti were removed from presenting the weekend news; they were replaced by Jonathan Uptin, the then-presenter of the regional Queensland bulletins. Foord resigned as weeknight anchor on 5 December 2008 and was replaced by Melissa Downes on weeknights with Eva Milic and former ABC newsreader Andrew Lofthouse fronting weekend bulletins.

In December 2016, long-time sports presenter Ken Sutcliffe retired after 34 years of presenting the sport; he was replaced by Cameron Williams. In January 2023, long-serving sports presenter Wally Lewis resigned from the role, citing health concerns. In December 2021, weekend sports presenter Erin Molan resigned from the network after 11 years. London resigned in June 2003 after allegations emerged that he had organized a female friend to complain about the presentation of weeknight anchor Bruce Paige. The late Brian Naylor presented National Nine News Melbourne for 20 years from 1978 following his resignation from HSV-7 to 1998. Following his retirement, he was succeeded by Peter Hitchener as weeknight presenter, while Jo Hall took over from Hitchener as weekend presenter. Henderson retired in November 2002, with then Sunday and weekend presenter Jim Waley taking over as weeknight anchor. Hall scaled back her work with Nine to news updates and fill-in duties in November 2011, with Weekend today news newsreader Alicia Loxley taking over as weekend presenter. In December 2017, Deborah Knight was appointed as presenter of Nine News Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights, replacing Georgie Gardner, who replaced Lisa Wilkinson on Today.

James Bracey replaced Williams with Roz Kelly replacing Bracey as weekend sports presenter. Fill-in presenters for the bulletin include Mark Burrows and Jayne Azzopardi (news), Emma Lawrence, Danika Mason and Matt Burke (sport) and Airlie Walsh, Kate Creedon, Sophie Walsh and Zara James (weather). Fill-in presenters include Alison Ariotti, Aislin Kriukelis, and Dominique London. When Brett is not presenting, rotating presenters may include Stephanie Anderson, Eliza Rugg, and Chris Kohler for news, and Natalie Yoannidis for sport. In May 2018, long-standing news director Tony Agars was removed after fifteen years in the role. They suffered four back-to-back seasons without getting promoted and dropped out of the league, making them only the third English team to suffer a hat-trick of relegations, and the first to drop from the second tier to the Conference in successive years. He had small parts in decent movies such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Sicario, as well as a decent 20 episode run as Shane Walsh on The Walking Dead, but never really stood out as a lead actor in any of his projects.
