Nine News Presenters and Reporters (2015-Sept 2020)

Having both Dixie and Tracy together would be even better.

I like Tracy Vo as an anchor better than Louise, and I think that Nine should continue to groom their Perth talents by having one of them at 6 being led by an older, high profile anchor (Dixie, Rick and Sue etc.) so that it wilk build their profile for the future.

Na I rekon for news. They don’t want any interstate people as they don’t connect with viewers. They will want local faces. But even a change which 9 have done a lot of in the past will not undo 7s reign in the state.

Dixie and her mate Sonya had the lowest ever ratings
Why would you bring back dead wood Really!!

As I said weeks ago
Allan bond offered every thing to rick and Sue 20 years ago and they didn’t move

20 years ago? I think you mean 30!

In any case, the chances of Rick & Sue moving to Nine are about the same as Overton or Hitchener moving to Seven: Very slim to none. Even presenters like Narelda Jacobs on Ten or James McHale on the ABC…somehow I can’t see them moving to Nine anytime soon, so who else is there?

Interestingly 9 Perth cant care too much about their social media platforms. Twitter still has Tim & Emmy as the cover photo and Facebook references both as talent.

If they were to choose a Perth based presenter who doesn’t belong to a network it would probably come down to Yvette Mooney, Sharlyn Sarac, Sonia Vinci, Craig Smart. There is also Paula Voce who works for Seven in the Summer but would be a good grab to present a double header with Craig Smart.

yvette hasn’t been in the Media for years
I think they had the best option staying with Tim/Emmy but unfortunately they both walked
Not a happy bunch At 9 one would think Imo

Emmy is as good an option as any of these other female names being thrown around. I don’t see the logic in dumping her only to bring in somebody like Tracey Vo or Paula Voce.

I suspect Nine wants to shift to a male single-header this year (ie their winning formula in Sydney/Melbourne with Brisbane possibly following suit soon as well) but Tim got a better offer elsewhere.

Are there any local male options aside from Craig Smart?

Maybe Blake Johnston currently at 7 Melbourne
Local lad I’m thinking 7 will have him looked away for when Rick Ardon retires imo

James McHale (although many would say he is too wooden)

Actually Dixie & Sonya were closing the gap up. From 2003 they narrowed it from over 100,000 viewers to under 50,000 in 2006, but when Channel 9 Perth decided to put Coronation Street in its schedule at 5.30pm, ratings tanked.

Do we know for certain Tim & Emmy ‘walked’ causing this change?

Or they are gone because they were ‘walked out’?

The latter I thought was the case?

Mark Macgugan finished with Nine News Melbourne today.
