Ryan Phelan presented sports in Sydney tonight.
Unfortunately I suspect the answer is obvious, but Iāll ask anyway: Was there even a brief acknowledgement/farewell by Ryan tonight for the retiring sports presenter on the channel one click up?
Unless Kenny worked on Seven before Nine, donāt even think they would even want to mention it (although I wished Fergo did say something about it as he and Kenny worked with each other before). In fact, I think Seven is ecstatic that Kenny is gone (although they donāt have much to be happy about as Cam Williams is another great sports presenter).

Also Cameron was once a sports presenter for Seven before joining Fox Sports.
The irony is delicious, isnāt it? The man who was Ken Sutcliffeās main competition on Sydney sport back in the Early-Mid 1990s has become the very person will be succeeding him!
As itās been said before, one has to wonder if Seven News Sydney now regrets not trying to sign Cameron Williams back to their network while he was off contract with Nineā¦
Seven should have. In my opinion Mel McLaughlin isnāt sports presenter material on the major news bulletin.

As much as I wanted Seven to sign Cam Williams into the role, it will mean that by now (if that happened), there will be 5 males and 1 female on Seven News Sydney (which is WAY TOO BLOKEY in addition 2 are Nine-Defects) unless if they had Melissa Doyle on weekdays instead.
Hereās the roster in Sydney if that happened.
Mark Ferguson (although I prefer Mel Doyle or Musher on Sun-Thurs)
Cameron Williams (Sun-Thurs)
David Brown (Sun-Thurs)
Michael Usher (Fri & Sat)
Jim Wilson (Fri & Sat)
Angie Asimus (Fri % Sat)

Great to see Ange back to present the National News. Itāll be interesting to see how she compares with Tom Steinfort. (Sevenās former US correspondent vs Nineās Former Europe Correspondent). I assume she will also present the afternoon news today?
Angela is great so good to have her back reading bulletins. I assume she will do Fridays regularly from now on. BTW, she is way better than Steinfort.
With Ryan Phelan hosting TDE today,Matt Carmichael presented sport on Morning News and Paul Kadak read news updates on TDE.
Robert Ovadia presenting Afternoon news today.

Friday (09.12.16): Katrina Blowers is anchoring solo in Brisbane. Pat Welsh is on sport and Paul Burt is on weather.
And if this weeksā ratings donāt tell Seven Qld anything I donāt know what will. Seven News Brisbane was number 1 at 6 and at 6.30 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday when Kay was anchoring and as soon as she wasnāt Nine News Brisbane easily won last night.

As Iām sure itās been said many times before, Seven News Queensland really just needs to move Kay McGrath back to weeknight news already. That is, presuming she wants to present the news on weeknights on a regular basis again, of course.

Unfortunately, too many TV executives are too proud to admit they were wrong.
Queenslanders have been trying to speak this message three years ago, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
