She was, but appears to have gone back to London.
They haven’t really been impacted ratings wise, as far as I can tell.
But from the network that has a long history as Australia’s (former) home of the Olympics, to now have not one person there. It’s pretty astounding.

Matt White did a sit down with Oscar Piastri on Melbourne’s bulletin ahead of the Australian F1 Grand Prix, followed by a v/o end board by Peter Mitchell pushing viewers to the full interview online.
Also interesting to see given Ten have broadcast rights, not Seven.
But Piastri is a major name in Australian and global sport at the moment, probably the biggest and it’s set to be a massive year again.

Matt White has so much more credibility than that Mel. If Seven were smart they would boot her off and keep him (that’s if he wants it of course) how she’s been in that role for 10 years is astonishing.

Saturday 21 February -
Theo Doropoulos presenting Melbourne sport from Adelaide Oval, ahead of the third women’s T20 cricket match between Australia and India.
With no voiceover. Sloppy. One would think with the noise they’re trying to make with her, they’d invest in a V/O for her.
