Katrina Blowers in Brisbane @ 4
Rumours 7 News reporter Ned Balme has signed with Nine News in Brisbane, starting mid May.
As co presenter alongside Melissa?
I like Ned, but surely not. I can’t see them picking him over their internal options of Paul Taylor, Josh Bavas, Peter Fegan or Tim Arvier.
Unless it’s Ned replacing one of them allowing that person to become the co?
As a reporter or presenter?
Reporter.

Mike Smithson is filling in for Rosanna Mangiarelli and Will Goodings in Adelaide tonight
He’s not up to that standard.
Saturday April 19, 2025: Amelia Brace reading the 5pm news for the first time this evening
yes he could do sport and have Jono move over to the news? I think Ned is a great, he just oozes charisma and isn’t bad on the eye either, with some more practice he’ll be a great anchor.

You can’t accuse 7 Brisbane of lack of diversity - Marlina has some aboriginal heritage and Rosie is Eurasian.
both great journalists and nice women too of course.
Marlina just oozes authority, a gun state political reporter. I quite like her presenting style too. Hopefully seven have big plans for her for the track. How many years has she been with 7 Brisbane now?
