Friday & Saturday -
Blake Johnson presenting in Melbourne with Michael Felgate presenting sport.
Iâm guessing still no announcement on a new Melb weekend presenter? When does Bec Maddernâs contract finish at Nine? Itâs looking quite possible she wonât be returning to the Footy Show. Maybe Seven are waiting it out for her contract to finish up to get her back for weekends?
With the recent announcement of her hosting tennis next year, I donât think sheâll leave Nine for a while.
As much as itâd probably be a bad move on the networkâs behalf, personally I wouldnât be overly surprised if Seven News Melbourne settles on a male newsreader for Friday/Saturday nights and use those bulletins to groom a potential successor to Peter Mitchell.
Even though people have in recent years been wondering what will happen to Nine News Melbourne in the post-Hitchener era, right now Iâd probably be more concerned about Seven News Melbourne in the post-Mitchell era because only in recent years, weâve seenâŠ
*David Brown being demoted to weekends, before moving to Sydney and giving our edition of Seven News a much needed point of difference against Nineâs (mostly) top rating 6pm bulletin.
*Like the show itself, Helen Kapalos only lasting one ratings year as the host of the South East edition of Today Tonight when she probably shouldâve been used for news instead.
*Sandy Roberts leaving Seven for Fox Footy.
*Rebecca Maddern moving to Nine and with the tennis, sheâs staying there for the long run now.
*Jennifer Keyte moving to Ten.
All high profile presenters and probably some of the best talent at Seven Melbourne. Possibly even in a worse situation than Seven News Sydney has been recently and thatâs really saying something!
