Opener
Later the tribute was after the weather with Luke. Melissa was very upset with the intro. Andrew spoke to the camera followed by montage.

What a beautiful tribute. You can tell just how much Melissa cared for him in her response. All the best to Andrew.

Even the press release was refreshingly personal:
Clearly Andrew was well regarded within the newsroom.

Perhaps for well paid news anchors, but that’s certainly not reflective of the wider community.

Great tribute.

And Brett McLeod
Came across from ABQ2 in 2007 doing weekends, then weeknights 2008.
Nope - he left the ABC at the end of 2008 - did weekends for the first half of 2009, then became weeknight presenter in the second half

Or it’s 2025 and Nine will use the opportunity to save costs by maintaining 1 presenter.
Jonathan Uptin or Paul Taylor would be the main contenders 100%
Well Nine has said that there will be a co-presenter once they find one:
I think I’d have Jonathan Uptin as co-anchor and Paul Taylor on sport.
Eva Milic will be fine solo on GC News.

Could also be the other way around as well.
