What’s the go in QLD with Heathwood presenting non stop? Is there nobody else there? I’m not up with the team up north but I don’t think we’d get Alicia that many in a row down this way!
Well we basically have four presenters- Andrew Lofthouse and Melissa Downes weeknights and Jonathan Uptin on weekends. Sam Heathwood is brought in to fill-in for Jono. Unlike GTV, we don’t have any talented reporters (apart from Wendy Kingston) waiting in the wings.
This was the first summer in years, that they didn’t have Darren Curtis to present over Christmas and New Year; so that is probably why you are noticing Sam so much.
Andrew returned solo to weeknights last week with Sam doing weekends. Jono (who is also Brisbane’s sports editor) has been filling in on sport. I imagine that it will be back to normal from tomorrow.

Over 1 year now since Michael Thompson took over from Tim and Emmy on Nine News Perth. Probably the worst decision they ever made and ratings have remained the same/ gotten worse on days. They seem to be exceptionally low even with the help of the Aus Open.

Has Emmy returned to Brisbane
Unsure, her social media has been quiet for a while apart from sharing a QLD related health promo… could be possible though.
7Perth really should have got her back to do the 4PM news but thats for another discussion/topic.
Agree Totally
Whilst at the dentist this afternoon, i watched a Nine News Perth Update and noticed that Michael Thomson saying that Optus Stadium will host 6 matches of the Twenty20 World Cup this year. Sometimes, Michael Thomson makes errors whilst reading the news updates.
Nine News Perth presenters Michael Genovese and Jerrie Demasi are to be married this weekend.
