Peter Ford has been reporting that.
I don’t think Sylvia is the best choice though, especially going against Michael Usher. You need a high calibre anchor like Peter Overton, Tracy Grimshaw or even Mark Burrows. I would also do a point of difference to Seven and resurrect Nightline- a serious news bulletin (no interviews). Stick Sylvia on weather somewhere.
So they sacked him from the network? That is a bold move particularly given his experience in sports reporting and commentaring. Personally, I always thought he deserved the weekend gig on Sydney’s weekend news because of his experience.
