Sydney only or NSW as well?
Unusual to see Melissa on afternoon duties.
It is part of the opener and shrinks to this:

Do they have a VO for Melissa on the afternoon news?
No names in news openers in Brisbane.

How did you come to that conclusion?
Nine has pulled the special from the schedule after only announcing it this morning.

Probably realised it deserves a better slot than 10pm on a Sunday night.

Afternoon news often has names, just not 6pm.
Example:
Live across QLd, this is Nines afternoon news with Alison Ariotti/Wendy Kingston.
Dominique Loudon up from the Gold Coast this weekend for sport.

QTQ lost some calibre. Hoping they commit to her cameos.

Sounds like she might do some special reports every now and then like Kay McGrath on Seven.
Nice that Nine is still keeping an open door for her.

I think it will be more the occasional presenting gig if needed.
Scherri-Lee Biggs is taking a 2 week break to coincide with her birthday.

Monika Kos presented 9 News Perth tonight (Saturday). I assume she will also do so tomorrow night (Sunday)

Why not nationally?
It was scheduled for Sydney, but never aired.
