Hence why Blake did weekends. Peter must be having the week off.

Melbourne sports reporter Natalie Yoannidis bumped into a fire hydrant while following Essendon Football Club CEO Xavier Campbell outside club HQ yesterday. Will probably get a mention on The Cheap Seats tonight.

Katrina Blowers is on holidays for a couple weeks, Most likely Samantha Heathwood as the fill-in considering Kendall is about to go on maternity leave.

I have been enjoying watching Michelle Bishop in the Sports Presenter role in Sydney over the last week. Something different in what we are used to.
Also, she is a pretty good NRL reporter too, which is her primary role with the network.

She seems to interact with Ferguson better than Mel. Doesn’t seem to be as ackward.

Just noticed recently that Annie Pullar (ex-Nine News Queensland) has joined the Seven News Sydney team. She’s followed the same career path as Isabelle Mullen and Cameron Price (who’s since left) in working for both QTQ-9 and ATN-7 (and Darren Curtis and Peter Fegan in reverse).

I know this has been discussed before, but is there any particular reason why Sydney’s 6pm bulletin has one presenter on weeknights, but two at the weekend? Seems like it should be the other way round.

It’s not just Sydney. Melbourne and Adelaide also do this.

Why, though? If anything, surely you’d have two presenters on during the week, when there is more news happening?
Probably to have multiple options ready at hand to eventually replace the weekday anchor when the time comes?
Well why have the two present together? I don’t think it’s law that the 6pm weekday anchor has to have been a weekend anchor previously, is it? 
So one can move to weekdays and the other stay on weekends. Therefore no major changes for the audience.
Do the audience really care, though?
What about less news on weekends so two readers take up more time and can read more short little stories.
