Starting Monday 15 October Guy Stayner takes over presenting from Monday - Thursday in Tasmania and Angela continues from Friday -Sunday.
Guy Stayner joins Angela Ross on 7pm News Tasmania
ABC NEWS Tasmania is getting a new face with experienced journalist Guy Stayner joining Angela Ross to present the flagship 7pm News bulletin.
Starting Monday 15 October, Guy will take the helm from Monday-to-Thursday each week. He replaces the much-loved Peter Gee, who retired last month after 20 years in the role. Angela, a familiar presence on local screens for a decade, continues from Friday-to-Sunday.
Both Guy and Angela will also be out and about in the community reporting for television, radio and digital news – helping shine a light on the issues that matter to Tasmanians and ensuring people’s voices are being heard on the topics that affect their lives.
Says Guy: “I’m honoured and delighted to be chosen to present ABC TV News to Tasmania. I can’t wait to start work, establish a new home in Hobart and share Tasmania’s beauty with my two children.
“It’s a bit daunting to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Peter Gee, but also heartening to know Tasmanians have previously welcomed a Victorian-born journalist into their living rooms each night at seven o’clock.
“The recent ending of the locally-presented WIN Tasmania news service means the ABC is relied on more than ever to tell local stories. It will be a privilege to tell these stories and it’s a task I take very seriously.”
Says Angela: “I have loved bringing the news to Tasmanians over the past decade alongside Peter Gee and I’m excited to continue doing so with Guy. Tasmania captivates – I moved here more than 15 years ago, fell in love with the place and never left, and I’m sure it’ll be the same for Guy.”
ABC Director News, Analysis & Investigations Gaven Morris said Guy and Angela made a strong team.
“As well as being a talented presenter and highly-credentialled journalist, Guy has a love of community, a warm and engaging personality and a great sense of humour that I’m sure will quickly endear him to our audience,” he said.
“Guy and Angela’s combined experience and editorial strength will help ensure the ABC remains the most trusted news source in Tasmania, providing unrivalled local, national and international coverage.”

Lisa Millar heads home
ABC London correspondent Lisa Millar finishes her posting today and is preparing to head back home to Australia.
Lisa has spent most of the past nine years overseas, first in Washington, then for the past four years as London Bureau Chief.
It’s impossible to do justice to her contribution to the ABC and our audience over that period.
From Hurricane Sandy and the Sandy Hook school shootings, to Brexit and the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester, she has covered some of the biggest stories in the world over the past decade with authority and empathy.
She is the ultimate professional – cool in a crisis, generous and caring towards colleagues, passionate about her job, good humoured, ever reliable and with the energy and stamina of a marathon runner.
“Indefatigable”, “the perfect correspondent”, “genuinely world class”, are just a few of the ways her colleagues describe her.
Lisa will return to a role in the Queensland newsroom later this year.

Hardly.
Shocking presenter, too. Pity the Tasmanians. At least now Melbourne might get a decent substitute presenter who can actually read an autocue properly.

What did Guy present at ABC News Melbourne?
Guy’s a good reporter IMO but not a good newsreader. Reminds me of Mark Ferguson
