Melina Sarris was back today, doing a story on a teacher’s strike and did a live cross as well for another story.
Also shown on Melbourne’s News.
Does Mark Ferguson present national updates at night? One just aired with him on 7 Melbourne at 9:30.
Just saw that to, it might just be a summer thing since the latest is not airing over summer.
Last year national updates came out of Perth. I’m assuming Sydney is presenting them over summer?
It was probably shown nationally
It was made for a national audience.
Brisbane received a local update at that time. Mark Ferguson updates have been seen this year on nights when The Latest wasn’t show.
Mark Ferguson just did another update.
Pat Welsh presenting sport on the morning bulletin today.
Ann Sanders wished viewers a Merry Christmas at the end of the bulletin, so presumably heading off on leave.
7 sent Nick McCallum to Devonport for the tragedy today. Blake Johnson is reading the sport in Melbourne.
Surely that’s Blake Johnson first time reading sport.
I have a feeling he’s done it once before.
Maybe he has, but I just can’t remember when he has.
he read sport on the Morning News a few months ago
No he’s done it once before… usually at late notice.
Seven used to have more greats on their side before they left the newsroom. (Emily Angwin, Laurel Irving, Matilda Boseley, Nick Etchells, even Sandy Roberts and David Brown.) I’d certainly like to see more of Seven’s current reporters given a go in the newsroom.
In return, those bigger names like Mike and Jacqui should be doing more outside reporting (Mitch’s Melbourne is an example of presenters doing segments well, and Mike has filed in great reports, whether on a local or international event).
I wonder whether Seven Melbourne could get in some reporters from local Victorian newsrooms to make up for a loss in talent?
Either way, they should strengthen their team, and if they want their talent to stay? Maybe try to rid the atmosphere of the drama and toxicity described within their newsroom (in certain reports).
Should we be reading anything into the fact that Usher and Cox are more prominent than they’ve been in the past in the promo and have been added into the ender?
