Sort of on topic…
I have never been able to find a definitive answer as to who presented Seven News Sydney on weekends in the Symonds/Sanders era (1998-2003). Who was the regular presenter of that bulletin?
Also, who did the Morning News back then?
Garry Wilkson read weekends in 1998-1999 from memory. Then, it was Chris Bath from 2000-03

Then Chris Bath moved to the national morning news… and I believe Anne took over weekend. This swapped years later.

Amazing that Ann Sanders remains in her current role as of today, though I have a feeling she will call it a day soon.
Reporters Paul Kadak, Chris Reason and Chris Maher are, to my knowledge, the last remaining Sydney-based reporters from the Ross Symonds/Ann Sanders era. There’s also Beretts, who presented sport on the bulletin between 2002-04 before moving to Sunrise in June 2004.

The best news? Not so, if the ratings back then were anything to go by.
Seven News’ ratings in Melbourne were so dire back then, it virtually became the forbidden news bulletin in that market. Can anyone remember if it was even being beaten by “The Simpsons” on Channel 10 in that timeslot?
We all obviously know Nine News was miles ahead at the top.

Ratings were awful 20 years ago with the lack of AFL or a domestic sport save for the Rugby and the Melbourne Cup when 7 lost the AFL rights

“best” is a measure of quality. Ratings are not.

A misleading promo. I did remember the Simpsons out-rating 7 News at times from 2002-2006 in the Melbourne market with Hitch on top
Well they’re hardly going to promote it as the worst news.
