Seven News Presenters and Reporters

Does Clint work 7 days a week though? Or does he have a couple of days off at Nova?

I think if you’re a sports presenter at 7 in Melbourne, you’re probably most mindful that they are the AFL rights holder.

Yesh pretty sure he does Mon - Fri at Nova, his 9 News duties and then Weekend Today both Saturday / Sunday.

“The Seven Network confirms that Robert Ovadia has withdrawn and discontinued the proceedings he commenced against Seven in the Federal Court,” a Seven spokesperson confirmed to Mumbrella.

“This was a unilateral decision by Robert Ovadia and has involved no payment, settlement or concession by Seven to Mr Ovadia.”

Elspeth Hussey filling in for Mike Smithson on Adelaide’s Morning and Afternoon news.

She’s on Mat Leave soon, so they’re getting as much as possible from El before she goes.

Looks like Gertie Spurling will be covering Elspeth’s duties, given she’s been covering for Elspeth’s usual duties while Mike’s away.

True, you’d probably take a “lesser” role/wage initially with the potential of AFL coverage work.

Seven’s double header in Sydney rated 183,000 total TV up against Nine that had 244,000.

Not bad, more so expected Nine would be a lot higher than that with anticipated final NRL game lead-in and being a Sunday with Block lead-out and all

you mean she’ll just continue working her full time job until she goes on leave?

Plus Mike Smithson worked through most of summer the past few years, so I’d guess he would also have a fair bit of leave.

I would argue she’s had an increase in appearances recently, and Smithson less but I see your point.

She’s filled in for Smitho occasionally, but she’s the 4th presenter in the line up so that’s not unusual. They’re certainly not trying to squeeze usage out of her before she goes on leave.

Surely not. Selwood and Cotchin barely show any charisma on Talking Footy. Would be an ordinary choice for a news bulletin.
