Why couldnāt they appoint Madeline Spark as the new weeknight weather presenter? She was the most deserving of the role.

Wow! I just opened up my social. Huge deal to get her going to the Melbourne Newsroom and huge loss to the Perth team. I thought it was Natalia joining the Melbourne news team.

If this is true then Scherriās move is almost certainly the reason why. I mean sheās been there for so long and has been so loyal to Nine, and this is the way they treat her.

A lot of the comments on the 9 News Melbourne Facebook post were saying why not Madeline Spark.
9News Perth will be going back to the future with Natalia Cooper to replace Scherri-Lee Biggs as their weeknight weather presenter.
She previously served in this role between 2004-08.

Just came here to comment something similar, dropping News and staying on for Postcards is the rumour atm, but we all know not to listen to those!
