Sport is quite underwhelming I agree but don’t get the hate for Melina. She’s quite competent and comes off as genuine rather than toxic like some of the other personalities at HSV.

I would’ve thought double in the week and single in the weekend made more sense if anything.

Don’t get where this rumoured ‘female-friendly alternative’ perspective comes from? They have females on Seven and Alicia leads Nine’s bulletin. I’m also puzzled why Seven continues to have dual anchors on weekends and what it adds. Unfortunately, I’m skeptical that Bec is still as popular in the market as she once was too.
He was awful. A worse choice than Joel.

I think @FootyKick is referring to the fact that most main presenter roles seem to be “male-dominated”.
For instance - weeknight presenter: Peter Mitchell, weekend presenter: Mike Amor, afternoon presenter: switches but often presented by a male (Mike Amor, Blake Johnson).
By placing Bec within the weekend news, there is definitely a difference of presenters.
[in reference to news and sport]
Emily Angwin and Melina Sarris have been given chances to read on afternoon bulletins. Emily isn’t necessarily alongside the network, but Melina presented quite well from memory. You also have Laura Spurway who has presented sports a few times, also done really well.
While they have been in the studio, it’s not very often this seems to happen (apart from Melina presenting weather instead of news.)
It would be more interesting seeing Mike and Blake’s reporting skills used more often in the field, and placing more females in presenting positions.

Surely after her covid Insta efforts, Jacqui has to be a more trusted news person than Bec these days

The Herald Sun is just relaying The Australian? Doesn’t mean the story is any more legit.

I doubt that kind of thing would have any weight in this decision at all.

Don’t they share newsrooms? Or different levels?

Her outfits lately have been amazing. Lilac during the week and the stunning pink dress she wore last night were stunning.

A bit Perth centric.
