What date earlier this month was the last that Pat Welsh presented sport in Brisbane?
Kendall’s last night I think

Thrilled to finally let the cat out of the bag, @katrinablowers and I are going to share reading duties for @7newsqueensland 4pm news
Katrina will read Mon-Wed, and I’ll read Thurs and Fri, as well as stepping into the 6pm weekend chair.

Big change! Good for Samantha to finally get a primetime role in Brisbane.

Will they share the 6pm weekend news?

No - Samantha doing 6pm weekends on her own.

Would Sam also be doing the national 5pm weekend news, or has it gone back to Sydney permanently?

Good appointment. Interesting to hear that Sam will be doing the weekend news with Katrina moving to weekdays only.

On Katrina’s insta post she says that when she accepted the role 4 years ago her life was different… she was single and her kids needed her to be at the school gate to pick them up.
Now she’s engaged with her partner working monday to friday, and her kids catch the bus to school. So weekdays suit her better.

Katrina also does The Briefing podcast, so she could work 7 days a week. Makes sense to drop back to 5 and have a weekend.

Yeh. Makes complete sense. Also Katrina is excellent on the road reporting so it’s a good mix.

Funny that Katrina hadn’t sorted her career change out before Kendall left 
Interesting to take Katrina off the weekend news. Looks like Samantha is a savage negotiator.

And not a single yearly ratings win (at least at 7) in all that time.
Great promo
