Are they grooming him to leapfrog Tony Jones in the pecking order at GTV?

Great choice! Should be moved to weekends at least.

I agree. Management at STW certainly have some decisions to make regarding their presenters. Natalia is too good to just be a fill in, but they have so many capable news presenters now. Thomson, Kos, and Vo all do really well in their roles.

If it was me, I’d be putting Natalia on the afternoon news and pairing Monika with Michael for 6pm, leaving weekends as is.

I’d reinstate Today Perth and slot Natalia in, or have Natalia and Monika share the afternoon news.

@Tom_TV7 but they have Tracy for Today Perth

She’s doing weekends though and appearing every now and then (rotating with others). I was talking about potentially getting Today Perth News back and having Natalia host permanently and Tracy staying on weekends (hypothetically).

Definitely. Tony Jones isn’t even in the main presenting line up anymore. Dougal is quite good.

Paul Taylor read Gold Coast News tonight from Brisbane; introduced himself at the start and again at the end of the bulletin. No sport or weather presenter tonight.

When I moved to the Gold Coast back in 1997 - I had expected it would be read from Brisbane - but still I remember getting a nice surprise when I saw the ā€œLive from 50 Cavill Avenueā€ sting during the bulletin.

I don’t know if I’ve seen it read from Brisbane before. Good use of facilities if the GC isn’t able to get on air/lack of talent though.

Did they relocate it to Brisbane at one stage, with Jillian reading it? I don’t think that latest long.

The Darwin studio surely.
