With Deb Knight working on Today again this week, Jayne Azzopardi is presenting Monday Morning & Afternoon News.
On 2GB Ben Fordham just said he is reading Nine News Sydney on Christmas Day.
Well itâs a slight step up from the newsreader Nine News Sydney used on Christmas Day last year, isnât it?
Refresh my memory please âŚwho presented last year?
Peter Stefanovic.
Considerably better as a reporter than a presenter IMO, but as Iâve said before I wouldnât be terribly surprised if he eventually succeeds another Stefanovic, if not another Peter (at TCN Sydney)!
Oh ok Nineâs next golden boy!
I am pretty sure he is No.4 in line to present Nine News Sydney after Pete, GG and Deb. But TBH I never liked him as a presenter on Nine news and Weekend Today. Glad he is moving on now.
I would beg to differ. Pete is way better than Ben IMO. I really dislike Fordham and his presenting skills. Mark Burrows would be a far better choice.

[/quote] Since Michael Usher âmade the switchâ mid-year, I think Jayne Azzopardi is the 4th in line.
I donât think we will see Peter presenting any more bulletins this year,he is going to be busy with hosting duties on weekday Today.
Justine Conway presenting weather on Afternoon News and in Melbourne while Livinia Nixon is on holidays, she also presented on the weekend.l wouldâve thought Madeline Slattery would have presented on the weekend.
Monday (5.12.16)- Friday (9.12.16): Melissa Downes is anchoring solo in Brisbane.
Ben did refer to himself as the person who is called up when almost absolutely everyone is away.
Is Ben a freelance?
Apologies for the double post, but does anyone know what Leila McKinnonâs role on Nine is now? Havenât seen her on screen as much these days.
Iâm pretty sure that Leila McKinnon mainly fills in for Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair these days.
She used to be Weekend Todayâs presenter with Cameron Williams right?
Yes, and also presenter of Inside Story before that show was axed. I donât think Leila has presented any news bulletins for years nowâŚ
I actually liked Leila McKinnon on Weekend Today, why did she leave the show? (BTW much prefer Her or Mark Burrows or someone else to present Nine News Sydney this Christmas)
