As you pointed out during last night’s tweets, the female presenter of that Local Market & Weather Report was Celina Edmonds…who of course would later go onto bigger and better things. Meanwhile it’s to the best of my understanding that the male presenter of those News Updates is the late Peter Andren, who after his time at Prime became a rather popular independent MP for the federal electorate of Calare (which takes in part of the Prime Central West viewing area) and was going to contest a NSW Senate seat in 2007 but had to withdraw after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. Seems like he was an admirable fellow. ---
