Eddy remains on news, while Matt Shirvington presents sport (Beretts would have Fridays off too, like Kochie does these days).
Come to think of it. If/when 10 News reinstates a local Queensland bulletin (which, in reality I cannot see happening for at least another six months), the presenting line-up should be:
News: Kendall Gilding
Sport: Veronica Eggleton
Weather: Josh Holt (who returns to Brisbane full-time; Amanda Jason could replace him in Sydney)
My mock roster for Seven with their cost-cutting at the moment:
Seven Early News
Angela Cox (Mon-Thu)/Sally Bowrey (Fri)
Sunrise
Co-Hosts: Natalie Barr & Matt Shirvington
News: Edwina Bartholomew
Sport: Mark Beretta
Weather: Sam Mac
The Morning Show
Co-Hosts: Larry Emdur & Kylie Gillies
News Updates: Angela Cox (Mon-Thu)/Sally Bowrey (Fri)
Seven Morning News
Ann Sanders (Mon-Thu)/Sally Bowrey (Fri)
Seven News at 4
Sydney: Mark Ferguson (Mon-Thu)/Angela Cox (Fri)
Melbourne: Peter Mitchell
Brisbane: Sharyn Ghidella (week A) OR Max Futcher (week B)
Adelaide: Will Goodings (week A) OR Rosanna Mangiarelli (week B)
Perth: Susannah Carr (week A) OR Rick Ardon (week B)
Imagine if the weekend anchors from Seven transitioned to weeknights, akin to how Alicia Loxley and Tom Steinfort co-anchor Nine’s 6pm bulletin in Melbourne (see below):
Sydney: Michael Usher & Angela Cox (Sun-Thu), replacing Mark Ferguson Melbourne: Mike Amor & Bec Maddern (Mon-Fri), replacing Peter Mitchell
@Avatar5991 Suppose that Network 10 were to bring back the Brisbane edition of 10 News First with Kendall Gilding (transferred from Seven) as newsreader and Veronica Eggleton as sports anchor.
In such a case Josh Holt, currently handling the weather forecasts for the Sydney and Brisbane editions of 10 News First, might have to relocate back to Brisbane. Amanda Jason, who currently delivers the weather for the national weekend edition of 10 News First out of Sydney, could consequently step into the weeknight role.
The weekend slot could then be taken up by either Kristie Lloyd, Emma Ralph, Samantha Chiari or Rachel Raez, the latter being a potential transfer from Sky News Australia.
However, it’s important to remember that this is purely hypothetical.
If ABC News Channel had dual presenters from 9-8 weekdays:
9am-12pm: Joe O’Brien and Gemma Veness
12pm-4pm: Ros Childs and Lorna Dunkley
4pm-5pm: Greg Jennett and Patricia Karvelas
5pm-8pm: Kathryn Robinson and John Barron
