Yvonne Yong presented the Late News tonight. Eleni Roussos did the weather from Darwin.
Great to see Eleni get more national exposure.

Rather she stays permanently and Dan Bouchier goes up to do weekends in the NT.

Isabella Tolhurst is doing the weekends in Darwin, no need for Dan to go up there.
Also, 100% keep Mel. She’s great and deserves the exposure.

Oh is that not Mel’s usual job? Well whatever her job is Dan can go there and she can stay on the news channel.

Dan’s new role possibly (from ABC News at Noon Weekend’s iView description):
Taking Miriam’s role as weekend anchor?
When big stories break, turn to ABC News in the mornings to bring you what’s happening and why it matters. We have more reporters in more places, serving and connecting communities and telling your stories. Presented by Gemma Veness (Mon-Wed) and Dan Bourchier (Thu-Fri).

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but Kirsten Aiken (previously one of the mid-afternoon presenters) is now presenting The Business Monday-Wednesday. Alicia Barry is still doing the Thursday program.

Are they the nights that Kathryn Robinson usually presented? She hasn’t been on Weekend Breakfast the past couple of weeks with Celina Edmonds on instead so I assume she’s having a few weeks off after going through the Christmas period.

Possibly. Prior to when Joe and Karina swapped shifts, Kristen and Gemma Veness would share the 2pm-4pm slot. However, Ros Childs now does 12pm-4pm, which means they had to find something for Kirsten.
Not sure what is going to happen with Kathryn now, however great to see Celina back on air.
