Amber Sherlock is presenting Nine’s Morning News today.
Nine has announced Paul Taylor will join Eva Milic to co-anchor Nine Gold Coast News in 2023.
Paul Taylor will be embracing a sea change in 2023 as he prepares to join 9News Gold Coast as the bulletin’s new week night presenter alongside Eva Milic .
“PT”, as he is affectionately known, will be a familiar face to loyal 9News Gold Coast viewers since sharing the 9News Queensland 4.00pm desk for the past 18 months and keeping Darwin updated with the latest NT stories since the localised 6.00pm bulletin returned in 2020.
Taylor said: “To not only call the Gold Coast home but now my office is a dream come true. While crocodile stories will be far and few between, I’m excited by everything else this great city has to offer. From the great beaches to the even better people, the vibrant surf clubs to the sensational supercars, it’s pure paradise.
“I have big shoes to fill following in the footsteps of Bruce Paige, who defines ‘TV legend’, but I look forward to every step of this new adventure, especially with Eva by my side. It’s the beginning of a great partnership and I’m counting down the days.”
Milic said: “If the Gold Coast hasn’t fallen in love with PT already, they’re about to. Paul is an incredible newsman who boasts contagious energy matched with a warm nature. He has been a friend for some years since we worked together in Brisbane, so I look forward to picking up where we left off.”
Nine Queensland Director of News, Amanda Paterson, said: “Paul is and has always been a professional in his field. He has uniquely connected with 9News viewers in every regional corner of the Sunshine State as well as up north, so it’ll be a joy to watch him make his mark on the Gold Coast too.
“Together, Paul and Eva make a great team and are bound to take the most trusted and watched local news service to even greater heights.”
The change comes as Bruce Paige , who has called 9News Gold Coast home for the past 12 years, is stepping away from presenting to return to the 9News Brisbane newsroom as the special Seniors Reporter.
9News Gold Coast with Paul Taylor and Eva Milic will commence week nights from 5.30pm on Monday, January 30, 2023.
Great get for the Gold Coast team.
Not remotely surprising. It’s not like there was another single candidate. Still don’t understand why they think there needs to be a change though.
PR did a terrible job of “quoting” Paul BTW.
So it looks like QTQ will need a new presenter to share the afternoon news duties with Alison Ariotti (unless if she does 5 days), as well as Darwin.
Why does a half hour bulletin need two anchors?
Maybe their still stuck in 2013.
A few months.
Andrew Lund made a guest appearance on Today this morning.
Thursday (22.12.2022):
With Eva now on leave, Paul Taylor commenced his role on the Gold Coast solo. Jonathan Uptin still presenting in Brisbane.
Friday (23.12.3022):
Kate Creedon is presenting the national Morning and Afternoon News today.
Paul Taylor’s first day montage - he got a solo voice over, unlike Bruce and Eva.
Classic Paul @3:56
I just saw the 2.10pm Sydney news update - Kate Creedon presented it and she presents well.
She also stated Jayne Azzopardi will be presenting the Sydney 6pm bulletin tonight.
Should have swapped them around and had Kate present the 6pm news.
TCN have a pre-established pecking order for the 6PM fill-in presenters, which Creedon wouldn’t be on sadly. Think the order is usually Lizzie Pearl, Mark Burrows, Charles Croucher then Jayne, possibly Davina as well if no one else was available.
Mark Burrows would be at the top of that list behind Pete and Georgie?
Yeah I forgot about him, he’d absolutely be in there too!
