1/1/2021 Jayne Azzopardi is presenting in Sydney tonight.
Friday (01.01.2020):
Regional presenter Samantha Heathwood is reading in Brisbane. Tracey Smith is doing weather again tonight and Michael Atkinson is still on sport.
Saturday (02.01.2021) - Sunday (03.01.2021): Adam Hegarty is presenting Brisbaneās news and sport again this weekend. Ebony Cavallaro is on weather.
Iām guessing Ross Greenwood would be back at the network, making finance reports across 9News, Today, A Current Affair etc
Why whereād he go?
I thought Ross Greenwood retired, or at the very least has semi-retired.
Besides, Chris Kohler seems to be doing a reasonable job at financial reporting on Nineā¦
I donāt think anybody was doubting Chris.
Rossā twitter say he was on a gap year for 2020.
Melbourne Team this weekend:
Brett McLeod (News), Ayrton Woolley (Sport), Stephanie Anderson (Weather).
Something Iād like to see more ofā¦ reporters on screen without a handheld microphone.
Apart from the obvious use of whacking an extra logo in our faces, they are mostly totally unnecessary and it would look much cleaner with a clip on mic as below and allow reporters a bit more freedom for gestures etc.
Is this a first for Ayrton and Steph?
I think it was mentioned that last weekend was Stephās first time presenting.
Definitely a big difference in the quality of talent at GTV vs say Seven Melbourne.
Georgie Gardner, Erin and Belinda on weeknights again this week in Sydney. I think this is the first summer in a long time where the weekend team has covered most of the summer. Previously Mark Burrows would step in for a couple of weeks.
Monday to Friday
Lara Vella is presenting the early news
Kate Creedon presented the morning news this morning.
(4-8/1/2020) Alicia Loxley is presenting in Melbourne again this week with Clint Stanaway on sport and Madeline Slattery with weather.
Tracey Smith is presenting Gold Coast News again this week with Sophie Ryan on weather.
Samantha Heathwood is presenting in Brisbane this week with Michael Atkinson on sport and Ebony Cavallaro on weather duties.
Has Rob Canning left Nine?
Thereās a new sports reporter by the name of Sam Djodan.
Sam was somewhat ironically reporting for Nine News Sydney from Newcastle today, where he was a reporter / sports presenter on NBN for some time.
If there has been a major sports reporter change at Nine News Sydney, itās slipped under the radar!
As per Radiohead, Sam Djodan was a sports reporter and occasional presenter at NBN News for six years until departing in April 2019.
In regards to Sam - I wonder what the go is there with him. At Nine he is Sam Jordan.
At NBN he was pronounced as Samuel Jaw-Darn.
but people are talking about it right here?
