All the best to Alan in retirement. Big loss to the ABC, always enjoyed his finance reports when I saw them.

Wonder who’s gonna replace him
Usually David Chou does it when Allan isn’t so i’d assume him.
Daniel Ziffer does a much better job IMO.

Nope it’s Ben in the guides for next week.
FYI there’s been no false starts. It’s just the posts here are not mentioning the bulletin as Ben is now listed on iview as a main presenter.

Ben Knight is reading the news on ABC Radio Melbourne this afternoon so I don’t think he’ll be on at 7pm tonight.
Is Tamara actually back this time?

From ABC
Richard Morecroft
All at the ABC will be saddened to hear of the death of Richard Morecroft.
He was a great friend, an admired colleague, and a firm favourite with audiences.
Richard was best known for presenting the ABC’s NSW 7PM News bulletin for almost two decades, from 1983 to 2002, always with calm authority and gentle humour, a trusted and reassuring voice.
His other roles at the ABC included presenting Behind the News, co-hosting The National and leading election-night broadcasts.
ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks: “Richard Morecroft was one of the great broadcasters of his generation.
“His intelligence, warmth and professionalism, beamed into homes across Australia for almost two decades, made him a trusted presence in the lives of Australians and an enduring part of the ABC’s history.
“Our thoughts are with his family, friends and former colleagues.”
ABC presenter Leigh Sales: “To those of us who worked with him in the Sydney ABC TV newsroom of the 1990s Richard Morecroft was not only a consummate presenter, he was a true gentleman – generous and courteous to a fault.
“His kind nature revealed itself in many ways – from the baby possum he nurtured inside his suit jacket for a period while reading the news, to the way he would seek out newly arrived junior staff to welcome them to the team. He was universally admired and respected.”
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Richard’s loved ones.
