Kathryn Foran went from being the only Nine reporter to use an umbrella when reporting in the rain to this tonight:
Alicia convincingly beats Mike Amor pretty much every weekend. It would be crazy to go with someone other than her, and it would be more crazy to put Tony Jones of all people into that seat.
When do we think Hitch realistically will retire? He turns 75 in February.
For all we know, Alicia might not want the role, having three young kids, and she might be happy with her current role now of weekend 6pm and a few days doing the afternoon news.
This.
We’re literally going around in circles again but she has proven she has the pull.
Each to their own but I just don’t like Tony Jones in the hosting chair. He is a sports man; stick to it.
Last thing I’ll say on this is look who fills in for Hitch 99% of the time - Tony (although that may be a contractual thing where Tony fills in for Peter on an x amount of days).
If they want Alicia to be his successor, then you’d imagine they’d be having her as his primary fill-in.
Nothing personal against Alicia, I just prefer Tony as a newsreader.
Tony never fills in for Peter during the year.
He only ever presents during summer which as you mentioned is probably contractual.
Friday and Saturday
Mark Burrows is presenting in Sydney, Jelisa Apps presenting sport and Natalia Cooper presenting weather
Update: Erin Molan is back presenting Saturday sport
On the Gold Coast - Bruce Paige and sports presenter Dom Loudon are off on holidays for 2 weeks. Eva Milic appears to already be on a break. At the end of the bulletin, Bruce said that Tracy Smith will present the bulletin for the next fortnight.

So Mark Burrows Sun-Thurs and Jayne Fri-Sat???
This was what happened last year so I’d assume the same.
Davina Smith and her daughter arrived in Queensland today just before the COVID border closures.
She is spending time with her family. Looks like she will not present for a while now.
