Peter Overton is back presenting in Sydney tonight.
Sounding a bit nasally, so must’ve had the past couple days off sick.
Presumably the new Canberra reporter will be the replacement for Charles Croucher and the “12 month maternity leave contract” (for at least for the reporter position and possibly also the senior producer/line-up position) is Kate Creedon’s fill-in, but what about the others?
Knowing what Nine News Sydney has been like with newer recruits in recent times, I wouldn’t be overly surprised if the people chosen for the positions in the Willoughby newsroom are already working for Nine News in one of the smaller metro markets like Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth.
Saturday (24.02.2018): Samantha Heathwood is anchoring in Brisbane tonight.
Madeline Slattery presenting weather in Melbourne again this weekend.
Where is Darren Curtis?
Seems they are replacing him. He hasn’t been seen since early January.
While it’s great to see Sam getting some exposure on the weekend news… it’s surely got to confuse many viewers in the regional markets.
Tonight, in my household, I tuned into 9 News QLD and my partner straight away was confused, firstly wondering why there was a Brisbane city picture on the local news… then upon realising we were actually watching the Brisbane news… then wondering why the “local” newsreader was now in Brisbane for the weekend.
Darren always seems to take a large holiday in Jan/Feb after working throughout Christmas, we get all hopeful and then he magically pops back.
Congratulations to Today Brisbane reporter Jess Millward and Nine News reporter Joel Dry on getting married last night in Langhorne Creek, South Australia. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfiIEtqnfbd/?taken-by=jessmillward9
Sunday (25.02.2018): Jonathan Uptin is back anchoring in Brisbane tonight.
Sydney’s “A” team of Pete, Cameron and Amber all on deck tonight.
Their normal night?
Yes
I’m not sure of the meaning of your post?
It’s their normal night? Why are you making mention of it?
There’s been a few nights in recent weeks when they haven’t all been on the same night.
Pete was off sick for a couple of nights last week.
Jonathan Uptin is the new weekend presenter in Brisbane:
Uptin, who moved to Queensland last year when Channel Nine announced major cuts to its regional bulletins, will now be reading sports for the Nine News Brisbane bulletin.
Darren Curtis continues as weekend presenter with Jonathan as sport presenter.
