Jono and Alison have done very well on the rolling coverage this week.
Davina and Charles presenting Sydneyâs afternoon news
Davina and Charles did an amazing job in the last 3 days covering the floods across NSW AND QLD. Would love to see them more together on afternoon news, and maybe on weekends on 9News 6PM?
Charles is more suited on news, not on Today show
They have been great together! I reckon Nine have big plans for the both of them.
I think Nine would definitely have big plans for Charles reading news bulletins down the track.
Also seem to be very popular with the Sydney audience - well ahead of Sevenâs afternoon in the ratings yesterday (as well as the rest of the day).
Nine Afternoon News was 16th in Sydney. Seven News at 4.30 was 25th with Sevenâs afternoon rolling coverage just 39th. (Tipping Point was 20th).
Friday 4 March -
Laura Turner presented Afternoon News in Melbourne today.
Monday- Sophie Walsh is presenting afternoon news in Sydney
James Bracey presented sport in Sydney tonight.
Weird to see Pete and James on the same desk
Why?
he also presented yesterday
Cause never expected them to be together⌠first time I believe
Monday 7th March
Peter Hitchener presenting the late news
Tuesday- Davina and Charles presenting afternoon news in Sydney- bulletin started around 3pm covering the floods in Sydney and northern nsw
Does it strike anyone else as odd that Nine hasnât used Georgie Gardner to front any of the special, big news event coverage theyâve put to air in recent months?
Youâd think as one of the main faces of Nine News Sydney theyâd use her for more than just Friday and Saturday 6pm news reading.
To be honest, it did used to strike me as odd. But, on reflection, I donât really think itâs that big of a deal. Nine have a really great array of talents to choose from during the week in Sydney (a la, Charles and Davina). Plus, for all we know, she may not even want to work during the week. I canât imagine sheâs being overlooked deliberately.
Georgie had her salary reduced a few months ago IIRC. She probably doesnât want to do extra duties like rolling coverage if itâs not reflected in her salary.
