Who do people think would be a good presenter for Nine News Tasmania? Here is my thoughts:
-
Louise Houbaer - A great presenter for Southern Cross Seven in Tasmania. She would be a good poach for Nine, as she lives in Hobart and would seem more likely to go to Nine. I doubt Kim would (as she lives in Launceston). I also cannot see Peter Murphy going (as he lives in Launceston, has a day job there and is loyal to SC7) and I also doubt Tom Johnson would go (due to Brett most likely getting the sport presenter job Tom would only get weekends, and having to move to Hobart).
-
Brent Costelloe. A well known face in Tasmania, very active on social media, seen around the state at local sporting events and loyal to WIN being there since 2004. Also unlike the presenters at SC7 he lives in Hobart and has lived there his whole life. If not, I am 90% sure he will get the sport presenter job due to him hosting sport from 2008-2018 and being a sport reporter after production was moved to Wollongong. He is also suitable as a fill-in for News during summer and when a presenter is sick?
-
Alexandra Alvaro. Although not as experienced as the other two (only starting journalism in 2019) she is currently the weekend presenter at the ABC. The reason I am picking her is I feel like Guy Stanyer would not go to Nine unless Nine coughs up a lot and due to him loyal at the ABC. I doubt he would leave ABC not to get the weekday job and only get weekends. Personally I feel like Alexandra would be a good pick for weekends with someone else for weekdays.
-
Stephanie Anderson. Currently the 4th in line at Nine News Melbourne (behind Peter, Alicia and Dougal) and has been at WIN Tasmania before going up to GTV9 Melbourne and joining the team. She may be willing to move down to Tasmania to get the weekday job or weekend one.
Personally, I could see this:

WEEKENDS
