Gosh they talk some crap lol

What’s going on with the sports presenter in Adelaide?

Speculation in The Advertiser that Warren Tredrea (weeknight sport presenter 9News Adelaide) has been benched by Nine for being unvaccinated against COVID-19.

Speaking on FIVEaa’s Rowey’s Sports Show in September, Tredrea, 42, rejected any suggestion he was an anti-vaxxer.
–
ā€œNo I’m not, I’m fully vaccinated… but I’m not Covid vaccinated,ā€ he said.

His disappearance coincides with Nine introducing a double vaccination mandate for everyone on its site nationally.

What a wanker. I’m fully vaccinated but not COVID vaccinated. Move on. Replace him. Next.

Eh don’t really care if he doesn’t come back. He’s not very warm and his presentation is very average and lacks passion.

Tom Rehn is a better presenter on weeknights. Maybe one of Edward Godfrey, Mike Lorigan or Cam Inglis etc. could take over weekends.

Absolutely, great news for the up and coming sports journos at Nine, and also for the viewers.

Christine Ahern presented Afternoon News in Melbourne today.

Oh no those poor viewers.

There will be plenty of appointments tomorrow at the doctors to get their ear checked from being yelled at for an hour.

Before someone inevitably mentions Jo Hall, my two cents:

She’s still with Nine but perhaps on a part-time or casual basis to solely file special reports every now and again. She was on Peter Hitchener’s regular spot on 3AW on Tuesday afternoon so that could indicate she’s still with Nine.

Is this her first? Any caps?

Looks like Nine are trying to walk around the issue, simply saying he’s gone on holidays early.

A Nine spokesperson told the newspaper Tredrea has gone on holidays immediately.
–
ā€œWarren has chosen to take some time off, which is not unusual for our news, sport and weather presenters as we enter the summer, non-ratings period,ā€ the spokesman said.
–
ā€œThis year it suited Warren to begin his time off earlier.ā€

*Rehn but I second your comment. He’s just much more passionate and engaging as a presenter.

Plus he can read an autocue competently.

She is nearly mid 60s. Most people retire by then. I assume she is casual and ā€˜retired’.

Not everyone wants to go on and on. Still can’t believe Hitch is still going lol, mid 70s! Can’t say I know a hell of a lot who keep working full time at that age.

Gee, those 10 years went fast! She’s truly shined at Nine, across all platforms. Great achievement.
