Patricia has been appointed presenter of RN Breakfast, so Afternoon Briefing may need a new host.
UPDATE: Patricia has confirmed on her Twitter that there will be a new host of Afternoon Briefing next year. Who do we think it could be?

That’s a shame she is a very good presenter on AB and holds many to account.
Matt Wordsworth hosted it the other month it was car crash TV.
Maybe David Speers?
Frankly, given the quality of the people who fill in for her ditching it has to be a reasonable option.

Looks like he’s only doing Monday next week at this stage, Bev O’Connor is doing the late shift Tuesday and Wednesday.

Most Likely Jane Norman.
Melbourne doing the midnight news bulletin in lieu of Perth taking over this week.
First the Fifth Ashes Test, now the Midnight ABC News Channel Bulletin. 
I would say Melb is doing all updates after midnight?
Perth taking over from next week, from 7pm Briana Shepherd or Michael Tetlow will anchor.

Right… so Melbourne is running this week, while Perth takes over from next week. Giving both stations a break over Christmas.

Right. Time for the channel to stop doing 30 min bulletins.
The 7:30 specials are even finishing at :54 which leaves 6 mins of ads.
Have to agree. Mornings with Joe needs to go back to its regular schedule, but I’m sure it’s down to limited staff at the moment.
