I tend to agree with you. They are still clearly #1. Not sure why they feel the need to pair him.
Probably just âfake newsâ 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 ) hasnât 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 Nineâs Ian Ross at the turn of this century.
I also recall someone saying âwe were flattered that Seven had to poach someone from Nineâ 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 Roscoeâs time at Seven was up.
This is the Daily Mail we are talking about, they probably saw something someone posted here at some point and decided to make a story out of it
Itâd be a slap in the face to Georgie if they went with Amelia.
Itâs been successful in Melbourne though so wouldnât write it off.
Hereâs what it says
Speaking of ratings, it wasnât just in the Queensland capital where Seven stamped its authority this week with their all-important 6pm flagship bulletins.
The big red bus rolled right over their rivals in four of the five-city metros on the first night of the fierce ratings war, with Melbourne the only holdout for Nine.
And all this despite Nineâs reality TV juggernaut Married At First Sight dominating the battle for eyeballs later in the evening!
This is in reference to the Sunday ratings. What did the MAFS later in the night have to do with anything when Seven has the cricket in the afternoon leading into 6pm?
And since then Nine News has won Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 5 city ratings since then by healthy margins winning all east coast markets.
Definitely some gossipers in Sevenâs Sydney newsroom recently. Just screams desperation.
Love the banter at the end of Sydney sport tonight
James: See you tomorrow, Pete.
Pete: You wonât actually, itâs my day off tomorrow
(fits of laughter from both)
Thatâs gold.
Blast from the past:
I wonder where Sarah would be now if she stayed at 9? Also Roz Kelly with sport before she would depart a year later.
Probably she would be on Weekend Today or doing Nine News Fridayâs and Saturdays anchoring.
I miss Peak Sarah Harris
Shocking CCTV reveals break-in at TV news presenterâs home
Chilling CCTV has shown the moment the home of 9News presenter Dominique Loudon and NRL star Martin Lang was broken into, in what she described as a âreally confrontingâ experience.
The coupleâs Burleigh residence was the most recent target in a spate of crimes gripping the Gold Coast.
The sports presenter went on maternity leave in early February.
Is QLD still looking for a dual presenter format� I still feel like Paul is a strong contender for the chair. His progression in his roles since joining Nine is quite strong.
I like Paul too. It would make sense for him to get the job so then Eva can go back to presenting full time.
Eva hasnât been presenting full time for years. Even before she went to the GC she scaled back to 3 days per week on 9 Live Queensland.
Thatâs why I said âback toâ. If she wanted to I guess.
