The one social I didnât check! haha. Very interesting.
Officially they said he would be presenting weekends in 2024. Could Nine be nervous so they want viewers to get accustomed to the new lineup over Summer?

Is he doing 5pm news right now?
No, Dougal Beatty is.

Guess heâs the new 5pm weekend news presenter then.
This is a good idea. Build up more exposure for him then when the time comes he can replace Hitch on weekends.

Shocked to see Hitch reading in Melbourne this weekend⌠This obviously wasnât planned a week ago. Are 9 in damage control? Have their ratings crashed since he âleftâ weeknights?

Last week Nine won Melbourne - only its fourth win for the year. Perhaps they want to keep the momentum going.

Who will present Melbourneâs Afternoon News? I assumed it would be Dougal Monday to Friday but not if he presents the News at Five on weekends.
They could decide to use Alicia or Tom some days at 4PM too.

Interesting times. Not saying I am the norm, but I would usually watch Bec & Mike for weekends. But as soon as I heard Hitch was on, Iâm on 9 tonight.

I said this last month but I still think Nine has a winning lineup next year. Alicia is clearly up to the weeknight gig, the only uncertainty comes to how Tom fits in.

Record heatwave? Itâs a hot dayâŚ
Damn very bizarre to see Peter Hitchener back again. I didnât think heâd return until the 2nd weekend of January.
