Nine Melbourne might not have a meteorologist fronting it’s main bulletin but Livinia has been doing it for 15 years and is very well known and respected in Vic. I think she is miles in front in terms of being a better presenter against Jane. Not to mention she has great on air chemistry with Hitch.
Jane Bunn needs to stay in the role long term as she still is relatively unknown. Too much chopping and changing.
Angela Cox presenting Wednesday - Friday Early News again this week.
Managed to see Seven News Brisbane tonight on YT, is it just me or has Sharyn Ghidella’s voice become annoying? it’s mainly in the opener where she drags it on a little which reminds me of Jane Bunn…
I find her hard to listen to because every word is so drawn out. Pick up the pace, love.
Angie Asimus presented Friday Morning News.
Jacqueline Felgate’s last day presenting Melbourne Afternoon News before starting maternity leave.
So l’m guessing on Monday it will be Nick McCallum or Blake Johnson presenting Melbourne Afternoon News. Personally hoping its Blake.
EDIT- At the end of the weather Jane Bunn said on behalf of the newsroom a big congratulations Jacqui best wishes for the new arrival After Jacqui’s sign off we could see Jane presenting Jacqui with a bunch of flowers.
Chris Reason presenting today’s National Afternoon News.
All of NSW and the ACT, parts of Victoria, all of South Australia, all of Western Australia, all of the Northern Territory, all of Tasmania…seems pretty national to me.
Emily Angwin presenting weather on this evening’s Melbourne bulletin.
CONFIRMED: Emily Angwin will present Melbourne’s local Afternoon News from Monday.
Wow… she’s made a very big impact on the news bosses in Melbourne.
Great news. One of the best talents in HSV-7 if you ask me. Hope she replaces Jacqui permanently.
Just caught a glimpse of Seven News Sydney tonight, and I definitely think that Michael Usher has improved as a newsreader, getting quite humourous in certain parts (obviously the right parts) while still maintaining authority. I feel that overall Seven has the stronger team on weekends compared to Nine (of course Georgie Gardner on Nine is much better), but I definitely think that Nine News has the better team on weeknights (with the exception of David Brown who as always is fantastic).
Let’s be honest, Seven News Sydney’s Friday/Saturday presenting team really should be their Sunday-Thursday presenting team!
Just swap Angie Asimus with a David Brown! At least with Musher, Jim and Brownie the team on Seven would be somewhat competitive against Nine.
It would be an even stronger weekend team if they got Magdalena Roze for weather.
Then where would Angie end up? Oh wait there is still the weekend anchor chair. An all-female team it shall be then (would be just as strong in a sense).
The ratings that Seven News in Sydney is getting would tend to disagree with these opinions. Sydney viewers seem to like the current line up and the bulletin is already competitive with Nine, just 25,000 difference last week.
I honestly don’t know why people make a big deal about Angie. She is good but she isn’t the best I honestly prefer Sally Bowery or Sarah Cumming
