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 Liviniaâs weather went a bit long, we heard her say something like âthank you for your companyâ (but in the breath and tone like she or he were obviously going to say more), like âenjoy the tennisâ or âgood nightâ and a closing montage with theme music and instead it abruptly went to black and that extended Olympics ident played.

His delivery was more natural, than that I found on Seven which feels more wooden, hence the comparison comment.
Yes And I guess that answers another question from earlier today, Nine are continuing with the Alicia and Tom promos during the tennis it seems.
Kelly Haywood has returned; believe that sheâs filling-in for Scherri-Lee whose on maternity leave.
Fiona Willan has left Nine after nearly 13 years with the network.
Wow! Where is she going?
Perth it seems.
Sky News.
Former Nine Presenter/Sunrise Reporter, Nathan Currie has rejoined GTV9.
His wife Eliza Rugg is a reporter for the station.

Great to hear
IIRC, wasnât he initially made redundant by Nine in August 2020 due to COVID cuts?
Anyway, good to see him back at the station.
Radio previews of 9 News Melb featuring both Alicia and Tom.
Yep he did regional and when that ended he left.
Alicia now in studio with Jacqui for the âNews of the dayâ joining semi regularly.
I expected he would
