Does Clint fly back from Sydney to Melbourne each Saturday so he can present sport in Melbourne?
No. Either Nat Y or Nathan Currie takes his spot on Saturdays while hosting WT during Weekends

So its safe to presume that Kate Creedon and Sophie Walsh are officially the morning and afternoon presenters?

Recent news indicated that they’ve split the GC News schedule between the two presenters and back to a solo format so that sounds about right.

Some speculation in today’s Inside Mail column that it is only a matter of time until Amelia Adams is paired with Peter Overton to compete with the Seven pairing of Mark Ferguson and Angela Cox.

Really. Interesting
Pete is doing well on his own. Couldn’t see him paired with anyone else while he’s been keeping Nine News on top of the Sydney ratings for more than a decade now.
TCN has never had a double header and I couldn’t see that changing.

I tend to agree with you. They are still clearly #1. Not sure why they feel the need to pair him.

Probably just “fake news” started by someone at Seven!

Peter has surely proven that he is the preferred option for news in Sydney. Lots of attempts over the years by Seven to boost their share. Dual presenters is just the latest and it (along with Unstoppable, Horoscopes, Comedy Segments and The Bright Side ) hasn’t worked either.
Last Night a good example with Nine on 240,000 and Seven 180,000. Why would you change?

Just like back in the 20th century when Brian Henderson was the preferred option for Sydneysiders.
We know Seven pulled out all the stops but none worked until they poached Nine’s Ian Ross at the turn of this century.
I also recall someone saying “we were flattered that Seven had to poach someone from Nine” when Mark Ferguson defected to Seven in 2009 (when they seemingly had him among their plans for the post-Roscoe era).
I still hold the view that Nine appointed Overton in 2009 with a plan to return to the top once Roscoe’s time at Seven was up.
