Also Ros Childs’ midday shift has been extended to 4pm so the arvo readers (Gemma and Kirsten) seem to be out of the schedule at the moment.

Karina Carvalho is slated to do mornings from Monday week, with Lorna Dunkley next week.

So Lorna departing then?

Isn’t she a freelancer?

They must have the work experience kid in the control room, blunder after blunder. Poor Lorna looks like she is going to belt someone over the head in a minute haha.

Lorna has been on Weekend Breakfast for this past weekend filling in for Fauziah. Maybe she’s going to be Jo’s replacement while she is on maternity leave.

Why does the host and the in studio reporter stand at the desk? Looks a bit odd.

Because it’s a standing desk not a sitting desk?

The question was rhetorical. You don’t need to chime in with a response like this on every post.

And my point stands, it looks odd having them both stand up like that.

I mean he’s just answered you question, yeah it might look odd but the reason they stand is that it’s a standing desk.

Think so.

It’s a shame they can’t give the 8pm bulletin a real identity. Like maybe ‘The Nation’ as a sister show to the business and the world.

Melbourne’s set looks good with the standing presentation at the beginning of the bulletin.
