Funny enough it was Michael Usher presenting the late-night bulletin, given he became the host of The Latest only a few months after.

The two are linked - The Latest & Michael Usher hosting that program was borne out of the late bulletins Seven aired during the rescue

The Australian had an article about the show in today’s media section. Something which it revealed was that Craig McPherson (Seven’s Director of News and Current Affairs) starting thinking about potentially launching a late night bulletin after the network did a few special bulletins surrounding the Thai cave rescue last year. How Michael Usher came to host ‘The Latest’ was that he was ‘enthusiastic’ about the idea and agreed to work with McPherson to launch it.
