Pete will probably be back for a new decade of bulletins on January 19? If I’m not mistaken, he usually takes six weeks off over the Summer.
Except that the next decade technically doesn’t start until 2021 - as there was no Year 0.
who’s counting?
Saturday (07.12.2019): Ebony Cavallaro presented Brisbane’s weather. Jonathan also did sport.
Sunday (08.12.2019): 9 Regional anchor Paul Taylor is presenting news and sport in Brisbane tonight.
Nice! First time I believe that he’s anchored a metro bulletin!
Wouldn’t mind caps if anyone takes any.
Cam must on holidays as well since Erin Molan is presenting sport
Did they change the skyline camera positioning? I swear it was more to the right.
Update:
Opener:
Not a bad presenter, but the wink at the end of the news update and wiping his mouth like that during the opener come off as a little creepy.
He is probably used to regional where he has the 5-10 second title card after the intro off-camera to brighten up.
Georgie Gardner has been on holidays for 4 weeks now since she walked out of Today.
Why isn’t she filling-in for Peter over summer?
Summer holiday plans/cover would have been agreed upon months ago.
And at this stage we don’t even have confirmation that Georgie is returning to 6pm, do we?
Zara James presented Early News this week.
Monday 9 December-
Lizzie Pearl is presenting Morning News and Afternoon News in Sydney.
Tony Jones is presenting in Melbourne with Clint Stanaway presenting sport again this week.
Justine Conway is presenting weather in Melbourne this week.
Monday (09.12.2019) - Friday (13.12.2019): Melissa Downes is anchoring solo in Brisbane again this week. Michael Atkinson is presenting sport.
As expected, Justine Conway presenting weather in Melbourne this week. Tonight she’s presenting from the Botanic Gardens.
Kings Domain not Botanic Gardens.
V/o: “With Bruce Paige and Eva Milic” How hard would it be to record a couple of extra opening voice overs?
Weather
We’re talking about the same network where Peter Harvey Opening VOs remain used in Sydney most nights, more than six years (closer to seven now, actually) after his death.
Again, I get how important Harves is to the history of Nine and especially TCN but surely enough time has passed that they can move on without controversy?
As it’s been suggested before - Brian Henderson. You know it makes sense for Nine News Sydney to record some Opening VOs with him (I can just imagine “This is Nine News…” being delivered in the style of “This is Brian Henderson…” right now!) if they can, while they still can!
Same with Peter Hitchener in Melbourne when he retires, Bruce Paige in south-east Queensland, Rob Kelvin in Adelaide (and probably Peter Waltham or Peter Holland in Perth).
Waltham and Christine Parker were [National] Nine News Perth’s newsreaders when they rated higher than Seven [Nightly] News back in 1990.
