So Jane still presents Sunday-Friday?
If she (or Emily Angwin) becomes Melbourne’s weekend weather presenter permanently, then I daresay that Seven Melbourne’s weekend team is much stronger than their weeknight team (with the exception of that sports guy of course), just like Seven News Sydney where every fill-in for the bulletin is better than the top dog.

Angela Cox presenting Wednesday Early News again this week.
It seems the presenting roster for the bulletin might now be shared between Sean Berry and Angela.
Monday & Tuesday - Sean Berry
Wednesday-Angela Cox
Thursday- Sean Berry
Friday-Angela Cox

I would say Angela Cox is much better than Sean Berry, but given the early starts and the fact that she is already doing WS News, it’s understandable why she only does 2-3 days a week.

Not that anyone might agree with me. But personally I would like to see Ryan Phelan being given more roles at the network. After all, News Presenter on TMS and TDE as well as sports presenter on the morning news isn’t really much to do on-air. Personally I think Ryan Phelan should be groomed as a future replacement for Mark Beretta or Ann Sanders on Sunrise and the National Bulletins as he isn’t really that bad on news and he is definitely a great on-air talent (IMO).

He should have been given the weekday sports presenter role ahead of McLaughlin who has proven she is out of her depth.

Realistically, Mel McLaughlin probably would’ve been appointed as Sydney’s sports presenter because they needed a female presenter (having an all male presenting team is generally frowned upon in this day and age) after moving Sarah Cumming off Weather in favour of David Brown and of course since they weren’t brave enough to move another Mel into the 6pm chair…

Why would they need to hire Mel though? They’ve got Kylie Gillies!

Easily fixed, ditch Ferguson and poach a competent female newsreader.
There’s a very good reason Ten continually choose Sandra Sully over her colleagues to remain at the desk each time they have a cull - so she doesn’t jump ship.
