I don’t think anybody did!
Andrea Nicolas, Peter Caldicott, Deanna Williams, Lauren Rose, Tim Hatfield, Tim Yeatman, Casey Trealor, plus now Hannah and Kimberly. They have a decent cross section, which is something no other station really has.
Who are the current news directors at both Seven & Nine in Adelaide? And what are their backgrounds?
That could potentially shed some light on why the winds of change are blowing through the 6pm ratings there…
Adelaide is Chris Salter, who is nowhere near the calibre of Graham Archer and Terry Plane.
Jeremy Pudney is Nine News Adelaide’s director.

I think 7 Adelaide worsened the situation by only being reactive to 9 - they could’ve just rised above it and focused on their own bulletin.

Naturally there will be a report on tonight’s news. Most likely on Nine as well.

One would imagine so, since Frank Warrick did have a few stints at Nine.
Could also be worth keeping an eye on the “Seven News Vault” YouTube channel in coming days to see if they post an old Brisbane bulletin with Frank presenting? Mind you, given what’s been posted there so far I don’t know if they’ve got access to old Seven News footage from all markets or just Sydney/national stuff…
