If 10 revived regional bulletins (using ex-WIN presenters):
Example for Southern NSW:
News: Lachlan Kennedy (from Sydney)
Sport: Amy Duggan
Weather: Danielle Post

If the Seven Network launched new look regional bulletins for NSW (outside Sydney) and the ACT (Canberra), i.e. local news at 6pm with Seven News Sydney to follow at 6.30pm…
News: Daniel Gibson
Sport: Nick Hose
Weather: Kirstie Fitzpatrick
Fill-ins: Kirstie Fitzpatrick (news), Max Ghent (news), Nick Hose (news), Stephen Murphy (news), Rhiannon Elston (weather; joining the Seven News NSW/ACT team from Sky News Weather Channel), Emma Wightman (weather; joining the Seven News NSW/ACT team from Sky News Weather Channel)
For viewers in Sydney, that city’s Seven News would continue to run for an hour (6-7pm). Regional NSW and ACT viewers would join the Seven News Sydney team for the second half of the hour (from 6.30pm).
Why turf Nick off the news to sport?
Get rid of him. Attach Gavin Morris in a Human Centipede style monstority and feed them to whatever grotesque monster you can find.
Both are as annoying as each other. Like a Cold War of weather-diclhead-come-news-presenter propotions.
Seven could do a lot better. Surely they have someone in one of the metro news rooms that’s itching to do some presenting. Make them the presenter. This is what a good regional TV station does - it develops talent for the metro lot to swoop in after a while.
If Nine suddenly does a U-turn and resurrected a Darwin bulletin (but 9Now exclusive):
News Director/EP: Kathleen Gazzola
News: Paul Taylor (from Brisbane)
Reporters:
Bianca Wylie (moving back to Darwin)
Fill-ins: Ebony Cavallaro (News), Zarisha Bradley (news), Jonathan Uptin (news)
I think it would be more likely that Jonathan Uptin presents, given he is a familiar face to the older Darwin viewers.
Seven News Perth once Rick and Sue retire
Weeknights
Tim McMillan and Tracy Vo (news)
Ryan Daniels (sport)
Samantha Jolly (weather)
Weekends
Michael Genovese and Angela Tsun (news)
Anna Hay (sport)
I’ve got Seven poaching Tracy Vo and Michael Genovese from Nine, and Anna Hay succeeding Adrian Barich in presenting sport on weekends.
