He suits ACA to a tee.

Does that hint at Davina Smith reading the 6pm news on Friday and Saturday and thus working Wednesday to Saturday this week.

That’s a new one? Has she hosted sport coverage before?

I don’t think it was Sam’s choice.

All that QTQ training :laughing:

Yes; cricket.

Chances are he still is a good reporter.
Maybe better pay, better hours, personal choice.

I’d imagine that having all future reports screened nationally (rather than mostly only being seen in Melbourne, or perhaps the Regional Victorian bulletins) also would’ve been a lure for Sam.

Good luck to him, but personally I’d have very serious reservations about becoming a reporter for ACA knowing what their journalistic standards are like.

Didn’t Dimity Clancy won a Walkley Award for an ACA report?

OK, so ACA very occasionally produces/airs content which resembles proper journalism.

But what’s that old saying again? Something about how even broken clocks are accurate twice a day.

According to her Instagram Davina is currently on holidays.

No. Laura Tunstall, Kate Creedon, Lizzie Pearl or Zara James will probably present Morning and Afternoon Wed and Thurs. Sylvia Jeffreys will probably present Sydney this weekend.

Sylvia is days away from having a baby…

Ben Fordham?

Please no.

People it will likely just be Mark. He’s done 7 days (as well as Today) before. Jayne did it last week.

Airlie Walsh?

I honestly don’t know why we’re even speculating about the possibility of Nine News Sydney having a different presenter this Friday/Saturday night.

Given that Peter Overton will likely be back on Sunday night to coincide with the Australian Open and probable new graphics, I definitely think they’ll have Mark Burrows on until (and including) Saturday night especially if they were able to have Jayne on-air for seven nights in a row before she went on maternity leave!

Sylvia is only contracted to Today Extra and ACA… some online content as well.

And she is on maternity leave
