History showed in the 90s and 00s that viewers didn’t seem to mind the continual changes at Nine News Queensland.
In the early 2000s, Jillian Whiting replaced Heather Foord on weeknights when the latter wanted to spend more time with her family, before Foord resumed on weeknights in the second half of 2004; Whiting returned to weekends when she too became a mother, before Melissa Downes replaced her in 2006.
All the while Bruce Paige took over from Mike London on weeknights in the mid-1990s (who could forget the spat between the two in 2003 that resulted in London walking out on Nine that year?).
But despite the game of musical chairs going on at QTQ, they were still strong news ratings leaders up until the end of 2006, when BTQ upped its game and lured John Schluter (from down the road) and Sharyn Ghidella (from the Today show) to their network.
