Well he’s certainly getting exposure now with massive news ratings, near double that of Nine.

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed.
Anyway, time to reply to another post in a more relevant topic…
If for whatever reason Mel McLaughlin was to leave Seven for another network (wouldn’t bother me, because the chemistry between Fergo & McLaughlin is pretty much non-existent) and presuming they still want at least one female on the team, Michelle Bishop would probably be the most likely candidate for the role of main sports presenter on Sydney’s 6pm news?

is this speculation, or have i missed something?
Eek I hope not - I like Michelle but putting her in at 6pm would be tokenistic, she’s just not at that level.
If Mel does go then I think Jim should be slotted back into weeknights. The banter and chemistry is always going to be lacking while You Know Who is in the anchor seat but Jim is at least familiar with the audience and can hold his own rather than being swallowed up by the awkwardness like Mel is.
Speculation, based on reports that Mel comes off contract at the end of this year and her management has been shopping her around. She hasn’t exactly made a splash at Seven over the last 2-3 years and equally I’m not sure that Seven has really lived up to her expectations.

I think they will keep her for Seven News but her new contract won’t involve her doing live sport. She doesn’t excel at live sport and whilst there may be better presenters for Seven News Sydney they will probably opt for consistency.

See, I would think it would be the other way around, ditch her from Seven News and keep her on live sport like she originally was at Ten.

Agree. She’s better at live sport than behind the sports desk.
