She has presented the late news in the past
Mark Burrows is presenting Friday-Saturday in Sydney
Good to see Bruce Paige filing a network report, seen tonight in Sydney.
Fortunately they had the correct sign off (not the âBruce Paige, Nine Gold Coast Newsâ one).
Becasue these reports originate from the Queensland news, rather than the GC bulletin.
Word of somewhat of an exodus at 9 QLD. Senior producer and Chief of Staff resigning within the same week. Follows the Deputy News Director a month ago.
Joshua Dawe presented sport in Melbourne last night. Clint Stanaway tonight.
Going to assume this will be a regular occurrence now that Clint is permanently doing Weekend Today
Peter Overton lost his voice after Amber crossed back to him at the end of tonightâs bulletin.
This has unfortunately been happening to him quite often over the past 12-18 months. It makes you wonder if Pete is dealing with symptoms of long-covid, or if it has possibly been brought on by years of smoking (if he smokes)?
Not really. When you are projecting your voice like Pete does itâs natural to lose your voice at times (youâre using it beyond its usual intended limits), there are mechanisms and the like to protect your voice but they only go so far.
no it doesnât, much easier to just not get fixated on it.
And thatâs literally him having a little cough or something in his throat, instantly gone.
I donât see any other news presenters having this issue though, Only seems to be Pete.
an occasional tickle in the throat isnât an issue? and like it happens all the time, must just be Pete is the one people are fixated on.
Its more than occasional⌠quite regularly
As I said, it seems to happen a lot more often with him than with other newsreaders.
Iâm more concerned with why Pete feels the need to make sure heâs dressed himself appropriately as the Peter Harvey intro plays - he does it almost every night!
Why?
Iâm sorry for trying to start a discussion on a media discussion forum. Clearly you have all the answers.
Urgh. When you get older, your body starts to change.
Even a newsreader canât control everything.
Exactly. Maybe he does have long covid, who knows and who cares.
Just donât think itâs worth getting in a flap because he occasionally has a little swallow or something.
Answers to what?
