Nine News Presenters and Reporters (2020-Feb 2025)

9 hired Tom Morris? Great to see they have high standards in the code of conduct department. Good grief.

Yeah, I find it quite disturbing. Different but similar to how they picked up Peter Fegan after his cocaine allegations.

Alicia and Tom got cut-off by playout tonight, looks like timing was slightly off, maybe Livinia’s weather went a bit long, we heard her say something like “thank you for your company” (but in the breath and tone like she or he were obviously going to say more), like “enjoy the tennis” or “good night” and a closing montage with theme music and instead it abruptly went to black and that extended Olympics ident played. I reckon they must’ve been 15-20 sec out.

Also, first ad break of this evening’s tennis… And an Alicia and Tom promo (the extended one I saw this morning)! They’re REALLY focussing on this!!

Pretty sure it is basically this promo

With a modified end board.

It’s a discussion forum, happy to express an opinion, and equally to have it shot down.

The point I was I trying to express is that I was surprised Tom was doing as good a job as he did, for me personally it unexpected as I thought (wrongly) that wouldn’t be the case.

His delivery was more natural, than that I found on Seven which feels more wooden, hence the comparison comment.

Yes :slight_smile: And I guess that answers another question from earlier today, Nine are continuing with the Alicia and Tom promos during the tennis it seems.

IIRC, wasn’t he initially made redundant by Nine in August 2020 due to COVID cuts?

Anyway, good to see him back at the station.
