Not long after Liam Bartlett, I think.
When did Ebbeny last present a bulletin? Seems to be a long while ago since ive seen her. I cant recall a report from her lately either. 
Is she on leave?

Its an overall disaster all round. I wouldnt be surprised if we start to see some of the up and coming young talent (who do a very good job) start appearing on 7 & 10 in the near future.
Have 9 given up until Rick & Sue retire?

It seems like it.
Im sure nine will continue to provide a well resourced product in the west, but pouring lots of money into a market that just wonât budge or move isnât ideal.

Michael is the same age as Rick or maybe 1 year difference so presuming Rick continues solo after Sue retires Michael and Rick would retire probably around the same time presuming Michael is kept at 6pm. Which could be very interesting in terms of the next on air talent.
Vying for that replacement sports gig.

Im sorry but if Rick and Sue retireâŚpeople will still watch 7s news. Look at the weekends.

If Paddy is appointed to weeknights I wonder who might take over weekend sports. With Shaun MacManus and Nathan Currie both gone it looks like there isnât anyone else on the books.
Elle Cormack takes on sport a bit these days.

They need to pour it towards Rick and Sue. Theyâve done everything else right, but without Rick and Sue itâs all for nothing.
Itâs not going to happen. Even if it did thereâs no guarantee the viewers would follow.

Why is everyone on here obsessed with recruiting (poaching) long serving talent from other networks all the time? Get some new talent in and give them time to make a difference *cough Tim & Emmy *cough
Staying consistant is the key!

Poaching is not a great strategy which is why it doesnât happen too often. Itâs expensive. Itâs very high risk and doesnât guarantee anything.
Talent donât always fall for it, either, despite the big bucks that might flow⌠but some may get caught at a weak moment.

In the highly unlikely chance that Nine Perth was to successfully poach Rick & Sue, youâd probably get a similar ratings effect to what happened here in Sydney when Seven signed Ian Ross to be their main 6pm newsreader.

Perth people will always watch 7 at 6pm. No amount of changes to 9s bulletin is going to gain more viewers. 9 have chopped and changed too many times and people just dont feel conected to the station.
