This Afternoon was a short-lived Australian news and current affairs television program that was broadcast by the Nine Network. It was produced by the network and broadcast live from 4.30pm to 5.30pm weekdays for two-and-half weeks in mid-2009. The show focused on news, sport, weather and entertainment and featured current affairs reports & interviews. The program was presented by Andrew Daddo, radio presenter & journalist Katrina Blowers and news presenter Mark Ferguson. Nine News reporters from around the country and overseas provided reports on news and entertainment. On 15 July 2009, the Nine Network axed This Afternoon only just 12 editions due to poor ratings. With the demise of This Afternoon, Nine reinstated Nine Afternoon News, followed by Antiques Roadshow at 5.00pm and Hot Seat at 5.30pm. As a result, Nine News had Mark Ferguson as national presenter until left the Nine Network on 25 September 2009 to join the Seven Network.
