Random appreciation post for David Brown. He’s unreal.

Look, I’m sure Mark Ferguson is a reasonable enough guy and I don’t really have anything against him personally. He’d probably be fine on daytime bulletins (a role he has held in the past on both Nine and Seven), or even in a rolling news channel environment where viewers just want the headlines and nothing else.

But Fergo isn’t really the best fit for the role of a Sydney 6pm bulletin where aside from coming across as authoritative when the big stories break, you also need to engage with viewers and express some personality where appropriate. This is perhaps the main reason why Peter Overton has been #1 for almost a decade while Ian Ross, Roger Climpson & Brian Henderson were the biggest names in Sydney TV news for years before that!

Side note: @SydneyCityTV thanks for shifting the convo here :+1:

Friday 10 April-

I do find though that Overton does stumble on his words quite a bit or have a few more “bloopers” than Fergo. I don’t actually remember the last time I saw Fergo stuff up.

I maintain the worst decision Melbourne ever made was giving him the boot from weeknight 6pm.

Former Seven News reporter Emily Angwin has been copping a lot of abuse on Twitter due to her employer, Chinese state media GCTN.

CGTN.

Feel very sorry for Emily.

Seven needs her though on the Afternoon News or Late Night bulletins. She’s much better than Jacqui Felgate in terms of presenting.

At this rate she’s probably wishing that she’s back at Seven Melbourne.

Her choice to join the puppet show.

I do agree that we need to do more about shutting down abusive behaviour on social media.
