So Pav does news with 9 and is boundary rider with Fox?
Yup. He’s been Sports Presenter for a few years now on 9 Perth.
One thing I’ve noticed about Peter Overton in recent months is that he coughs quite regularly when reading the news. Maybe once or twice a week?
Did I read somewhere that he does or did smoke?
It’s not ideal that he coughs as often as he does, it’s a bit off putting to the viewer that it seems to happen so regularly.
It could also make him seem human to the viewer and more relatable.
Friday 30 April-
Sophie Walsh is presenting Afternoon News in Sydney today.
you reckon they’re instructing Peter to cough mid sentence to make him seem more relatable?
No, not at all - I just don’t think it’s a big deal if someone coughs on occasion or that it’s off putting to the viewer.
Newsreaders are talent, but not all talent are newsreaders - delivery is important.
Coughs happen and I’m sure these twice-a-week coughs aren’t as big a deal as being made here, but yes, having seen a few Peter Overton coughing fits on YouTube where others had to take over shortly, it’s not a good look.
How he recovers from that and the slack-off bits during the news (a quick bant with his colleagues bumping to break or sign-off) are where the human bits show up.
I don’t know what kind of grading formula I’d use to rate a newsreader, but I would prioritize the journalistic and delivery qualities first over some of the ancillary bits.
Saturday 1 May-
Justine Conway is presenting weather in Melbourne tonight.
Is this Monika’s first time presenting Perth’s 6pm news on Nine?
I can’t say it with certainty but I think it is.
