An suggestions on who will present The Latest: Seven News? Someone already at the network or someone else?
Love to see someone new.
For all we know, if they have been cost cutting, it could be done out of Perth, hosted by Susannah Carr

I donāt think they would introduce a late bulletin if they were cost cutting though.
For all that matters I would prefer to see Sue host than any of the current east coast talentd (except Musher)

Maybe itās because Iāve only really seen bits and pieces of her presenting and donāt have any major connections to Perth/WA, but Iāve never really gotten the love for Susannah Carr that some people seem to have on these forums.
A perfectly competent newsreader? Yes. Strong enough to lead a national bulletin? Iām not sure about that. Maybe if she had more name recognition, but right now Iād be willing to predict that 99% of people in Sydney & Melbourne would have absolutely no idea who Sue is if you were to go out onto the streets and asked āDo you know this newsreader?ā!
Who are the usual summer substitutes for Rick and Sue?
Perhaps one of them will be the presenter of the late news if it comes from Perth.
Does it really have to be a well-known national presenter? On the 10 forums people are calling for the likes of Narelda Jacobs to front a late bulletin, even know not many outside Perth knows who she is.
Sue is a great anchor and has been for many years, would hate to see her relegated to Perth news only with someone like Rob Ovadia doing the late news.

Angela Tsun, Paula Voce and sometimes Ameila Broun who IIRC presented part of last summer.
That would apply to every presenter that presents a National Bulletin unless they have had exposure on high rating national programs such as Sunrise. Most wouldnāt know who Angie Asimus is when she first started and probably didnāt till she appeared on Sunrise and the small amount who watch the News at 5. At the end of the day this is a Late broadcast and most wouldnāt even care who the presenter is long as they are getting the news.

Highly doubt someone of Sueās calibre (or Rick for that matter) will want to stay around until 8/9pm to front a late news bulletin (assuming it goes out live into the East coast). Yes for breaking/rolling news - would be fantastic to utilise they.
Plenty of other talent at 7 Perth who could do it though.

Mark Ferguson is still presenting Seven News Sydney.
ā¦and will probably stay on (along with McLaughlin & Brown) until just before Christmas, one would imagine.
Unlike Nine whoāve achieved everything they could for 2018 and can comfortably send their main presenters on holidays for 4-6 weeks, I suspect Seven News Sydney feels they need to have their main presenting team on for at least part of Summer (excluding the Xmas/New Year period of course) so they can try and build momentum while the cricket is on.

Remembering the Perth studio in in use from 6-7pm. Which is 9-10pm melb/syd time over summer. Late news going live into those states from Perth might have some logistical issues.
Michael Felgate presenting the Afternoon News in Melbourne today after an early finish with the cricket. It started at around 4:45 so it may only be a 15 minute bulletin.
