Friday 24th March:
Lexy Hamilton-Smith presenting in Queensland tonight. Talissa Siganto on the weather.
Jessica Van Vonderen presented Sunday to Thursday. So despite it not being officially announced, it could probably be fairly confidently concluded that she’s taking over the main reading role.
I notice that viewing numbers are down for ABC Queensland in the last few weeks. This week looks to will be its lowest rated week of the year.
Need some more tabloid stories!

Jessica Van Vonderen officially announcing her move to the Sunday to Thursday anchoring role in Queensland. No mention of her official replacement on Friday and Saturday bulletins as yet.
Friday 7 April -
Mary Gearin presenting a special Good Friday national bulletin tonight.
Looks like one state is taking turns hosting the 7pm bulletin (I assume to Monday). Probably a good way to give a whole heap of staff off around the nation.
Not sure where tonight bulletin is from. WA?
Sydney tonight with Lydia Feng presenting

Take a shot every time Tamara doesn’t present ABC News Victoria, and soon you’ll end up in hospital due to alcohol poisoning.
She’s been MIA for most of this year. Just dropping by for a few nights every few weeks.
