DO they fly Chris Kohler from Melbourne to Sydney just to sit on the desk for interest rate coverage?

Ridiculous isn’t it.

He reports from there at 6pm on interest rate day too.
Not sure why they can’t use a Melbourne host or just cross to him.

RBA now hold a press conference later in the afternoon following the announcement - I presume he would go to it as Nine’s Chief Finance Editor.

He attends the RBA press conference which makes sense, then files his story and reports from Sydney.

Maybe Gareth could introduce Dual Newsreaders for it’s Flagship Sydney 6PM Bulletin as the Other Cities (bar Perth and Darwin) as well as NBN News have Dual Anchors on Weeknights, as Seven Sydney had Introduced a Dual Anchor Bulletin a Few Weeks Back.
Odd choice, especially in comparison to the directors in Sydney and Melbourne who have been there for decades and their bulletins are number 1.
I doubt that would happen unless Seven starts to out-rate Nine. It would just be a change for changes sake.
