I’ve got to admit Alicia, Tony and Livinia have great chemistry on air. Alicia and Tony had a banter at the start and end of sport tonight. It’s just a shame that Tony and Livinia won’t have Peter Hitchener reading the news with them Monday-Thursday now unless they had Tony present sport Saturday-Wednesday and Livinia present weather Saturday-Tuesday.

Alicia has always been great with Tony and Livinia in the past. They will be a good team. Will be interesting to see how Tom goes within the mix.

They should’ve brought Brett McLeod back to Australia to co host with Alicia Loxley when Jess Millward was announced as Europe correspondent. He and Alicia are a great duo. They’d both be in fits of laughter with Tony Jones when they’re bantering.

maybe he didn’t want to do it?

Just imagine if Dougal Beatty had been given the weeknight gig. He wouldn’t have had great chemistry with Tony and Livinia. He is not experienced either, so if Peter Hitchener had officially retired he would’ve been given the weekend gig.
That’s an assumption rather than a fact.

Bizarre that Peter Hitchener didn’t attend last night’s Christmas party.
Not really.
A lot of people don’t attend functions for a variety of reasons.

The GC studio looks so much better presented as a single header, the desk and screen just feel too small for 2 people. Would be nice to see them do some updates (other than just a lick of paint) sometime in the future.
How did she do for the first bulletin?
