I’ve actually never heard or seen her. Good to hear she has quite a broadcasting background.
Been in broadcasting for a while as far as I know. Currently a newsreader for The Sound during breakfast and then hosts the 10am-2pm shift.
She used to be a newsreader/contributer when Stables hosted drive on ZM.

Wow she has had quite a career and still going strong. I’m struggling to remember her from the Stables era of ZM Drive, I used to listen to his show quite a bit back then. Cheers for the background.

Does anyone know how Prime News is doing in the news ratings? Surely there must be a bump in the numbers watching the 5:30 bulletin.

Found some ratings data for Prime News from Sunday, it was the 11th most watched programme out of the top 15, a good result for the little battler:

30 minutes might be hitting the spot for those fatigued with Covid coverage.

Abit of a blooper on Prime News last night with Eric crossing to Zach Fleming who couldn’t hear nor had the correct PrimeNews mic while also muttering what sounds like "F**k, I forgot about Prime"
Rather interesting he had just finished his live cross on Three and was preparing to cross to Prime a minute or two later. Cross happens at 0.46 into the bulletin:

Just seen a Prime News promo. They seldom do any promos so I’m quite surprised. The emphasis was “all the news in 30 mins”. Does anyone have the clip as I didn’t capture it. Hopefully this is a sign that they will be pushing their news product more.

I think they need a real studio and make it a 1-hour program with 2 new hosts

Won’t happen. It’s a low-cost presentation on purpose. It’s meant to be no-frills and it’s outsourced as well.

Why? Having a 30 minute bulletin is a clear point of difference against the 1 hour programs on One and Three.

@DJPizarro It would make 1News and Newshub have more to care about as they could lose people to Prime
