Hitch, Livinia and Tony Jones took part in the Mother’s Day Classic (charity walk /run that raises money for breast cancer research) this morning.
Monday & Tuesday -
Lizzie Pearl is presented Early News .
Monday -
Mark Burrows presenting Morning News & Sydney Afternoon News.
Tuesday -
Davina Smith is back presenting Morning News & Sydney Afternoon News today, she was away last week.
Joshua Dawe has recently joined the Perth sports department from Regional Victoria, so its probably him.
Vanessa O’Hanlon will be presenting Early Morning News tomorrow.
@SydneyCityTV won’t like this - Mark Burrows is presenting in Sydney tonight
I know both Pete & Deb probably wanted to take a night off for the Federal Election coverage on Saturday but geez, on a weeknight during the ratings season too.
Tonight’s Sydney news ratings will be interesting!
I wonder why Nine isn’t using Davina Smith? Surely viewers would be familiar to her face? She’s been reading nationally & locally to Sydney viewers for around 5 years now…
Possibly because she’s already pre-occupied doing the national morning news and Sydney afternoon news.
They could have used Sophie Walsh, but she is covering Fashion Week.
It’s been done before, multiple times. Just need to rotate some presenters around.
According to Jessica Rowe’s Instagram, the reason Peter Overton was off tonight was to attend his daughter’s “father-daughter” dance or something.
Thursday & Friday -
Lizzie Pearl presented Early News.
Seven News with Mark Ferguson beat Nine at 6.30 by 2000. Nine News did win the 6pm half by 7000 though, with an average of 277k. I would love to see the minute-to-minutes.
Pete’s back tonight.
Friday (17.05.2019): Sophie Walsh is presenting the Morning News and Sydney’s Afternoon News today.
Friday to Sunday -
Madeline Slattery is presenting weather in Melbourne again this week.
Thankfully, Deborah Knight will be presenting Nine News Sydney tonight.
I wouldn’t be overly surprised if Sydney TV viewers get another night of “Mark vs Mark” tomorrow though.
Is she really? Deb has done Today, rehearsals for tomorrow’s Election coverage, 6pm News and even an interview with Ben Fordham on 2GB:

I definitely saw Deb presenting an update during the Afternoon News!
