Didn’t Alicia read the first few weeks of summer last year, followed by TG?
Just had a look, here is who presented each week of Pete’s absence last summer:
Week commencing:
Nov 30, Dec 07, Dec 14, Dec 21 - Tony
Dec 28, Jan 04 - Alicia
Hitch returned week commencing Jan 11.
Dougall Beaty presenting Melbourne’s afternoon news. Is that indicative of Alicia presenting 6pm?
Either that or she is taking holidays.

We can’t contain ourselves. This is the most exciting speculation news since Sam Armytage leaving Sunrise.

I dont think TJ has ever been on sport while Alicia has presented? Must be in the contracts somewhere around his seniority or something.
Alicia presenting updates for 6pm. Although she says “join us tonight at 6”, I assume she’s not just come in for the updates.
Perhaps TJ is off for the next 4 weeks, and returns for tennis late Dec/Jan for prep.
Tennis obviously earlier this year.
He has presented sport with Alicia before, for the 4pm news

He’s hosting 3AW Mornings for six weeks starting next week, so he could perhaps be taking a week off this week before doing 3AW in the morning then 6pm News Reading in the evening as of next week?

Alicia presenting.
Meantime, why does Adam Hegarty speak the way he does? The end of each line with an upward inflection.

Oh I see
Tony presenting sport as normal. Actually some good banter between him and Alicia throwing to him in the sport preview, laughing about the previous story which was Tony himself playing cricket against Shane Warne.

This should be the 6pm team once Hitch retires.
In fact I wonder if they are testing these three together in these positions. They have not done 6pm all together before.

I agree @Pranks
Tony was absent from the desk at the closer. I believe he’s usually there when Pete’s anchoring?
