But for another bizarre reason have dual readers on weekends? Seriously something is bonkers at ATN.

I presume that’s because they’re getting viewers used to the on-screen pairing, ahead of when they take over weeknights sometime in the future.

Not a huge loss, he wasn’t the best reporter they had. Question is do you get Patrick Condren back? Or is he now ineligible after running for labor as Brisbane mayor?

Whilst it’s good to see Georgie getting experience, why wouldn’t they just get Paul Burt or Liz Cantor, both more familiar than Georgie, to do weather in Tony’s absence?
@FootyKick Maybe Liz and Paul were unavailable.

It is also good to build your talent up. Presenters aren’t just ‘known’ and need the odd night presenting to get their names out there.

Burty is not very good. He should remain as Seven’s coastal reporter and should never been appointed weekend weather presenter. It was bad enough he was on almost every day during the Christmas period.
His style suits the local audience though, much like Luke Bradnam on Nine.
