A CURRENT AFFAIR
Allison Langdon

NINE NEWS LATE
Same as current

As you can see, it is kept mostly the same as current. I would choose Amelia Adams for Today as she is very good, and Allison for ACA as she has basically been confirmed. With Jim Wilson I reckon he should get the permanent sport presenter job, with James Bracey going back to WWOS permanently.

With Tasmania, I have chosen Louise Hedger for News, she is very talented and the current weekend presenter for 7 TAS News. Sport is Brent Costelloe for very obvious reasons, and I don’t have an idea who should present weather. With weekends I have chosen Alexandra Alvaro (due to there not being much presenters) and am not sure about weekend sports.

WDYT?
