Dougal Beaty is presenting Melbourne’s Afternoon News today, indicating that Jo Hall will NOT take on Brett McLeod’s fortnightly Wednesday to Friday 4pm news duties.
So it appears the new roster is:
Mon-Tue: Alicia Loxley
Wed-Fri: Dougal Beaty

While Wendy Kingston presented Nine Afternoon News on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday it is Paul Taylor
Exactly why they get Sydney’s… as has been discussed before.
What is that red gradient on the left side of the screen? I don’t see that anything else…
I believe it’s just part of the transition of the graphic, it usually happens quite quickly.
Sunday 15 August at 10:00 pm Sydney only
A special tribute to the late television legend hosted by Peter Overton looking back on the most important stories Brian brought us during his career as Australia’s number one newsreader.
Sydney only or NSW as well?
Do they have a VO for Melissa on the afternoon news?
No names in news openers in Brisbane.
So the Late News will be gone on Sunday?
How did you come to that conclusion?
Nine has pulled the special from the schedule after only announcing it this morning.
Probably realised it deserves a better slot than 10pm on a Sunday night.
Afternoon news often has names, just not 6pm.
Example:
Live across QLd, this is Nines afternoon news with Alison Ariotti/Wendy Kingston.
This is Wendy’s last week at Nine.
Sounds like she might do some special reports every now and then like Kay McGrath on Seven.
Nice that Nine is still keeping an open door for her.
I think it will be more the occasional presenting gig if needed.
