I would’ve paired Thommo with TVo (given the latter has been at STW longer than Monika) but I highly doubt they would go down that path given Tracy is on maternity leave and would want to spend more time with her family. Monika would then do weekends and Natalia would replace her on the 4:00pm bulletin.
Anyway given the changes at TVW I would like to think the onus is on STW to continue to improve their ratings as I think they could also make some on-air changes if they don’t.
We’ve seen in Adelaide where Seven News continues to dominate in the ratings with its current on-air lineup which has been in place since 2023, while Nine continues to struggle even with its main presenter Brenton Ragless having been in his position since 2014 (when he was paired with Kate Collins, who left last year).
