Seven & Ten News (SCA)

Maybe…

  1. She is becoming the new presenter of Nightly News 7 Spencer Gulf.
  2. She is replacing Louise Hedger as weekend presenter, who might go to WIN/9 for Nine News Tasmania.

Nope on both counts.

Who is this random woman? Has anybody every heard of her?
Maybe she’ll be another weather presenter, as has been said, Murph is winding down.

Found her profiles on Facebook and Linkedin, no listed history in the media industry or relevant education.

Legit have never heard of her either, and I’m in the Port Augusta area every few weeks and do watch the local news service when I’m up there.

Guys, please remember that us SCA people do read this forums. Some of the recent comments about us have been very hurtful and unkind.

For the record, these aren’t personal attacks. They are critiques and criticisms of media and presentation. No personal harm or insult is intended (I’m sure).

(also for the record I didn’t post anything, just read the posts before they were censored)

well that’s not how the people like @DJPizarro and others take it. so maybe think before posting? as to what you may think isnt a personal attack is in fact to the other person they fell like it is

Some of the removed posts were straight up mocking the competence and in some cases the physical appearance of the presenter.

We have mentioned previously on this thread that we have zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour.

I apologise I didn’t see those posts.

Does this apply across all threads and talent? Or just a certain few? I’m only asking because there’s many comments in this thread mocking the physical appearance and the competency of John Hunt; which to this day not only still remain, but have also received likes from the moderation team.

Regarding my own comments that have been quoted - the first was meant in jest - I have no issue with John Hunt’s looks and in hindsight I regret making the comment.

Constructive criticism of his - or anyone else’s - delivery of the news should be fair game though as long as it doesn’t attack or mock the individual.

My second comment regarding John Hunt’s accent was a genuine query/observation and not intended as a criticism at all.

7Tas News Director Grant Wilson retired today after a long career and giving several names a big start in the industry who have gone on to national and international careers.

@Techster great cameo there too and good to see your story in tonight’s bulletin about the new UTAS building had some association with me. I’ve been working with the guys constructing and doing all the joinery for those buildings and have walked through the factory with that roof architecture plenty of times, they’re pretty amazing up close for the shape of them.

As hinted on last Friday’s bulletin (Tasmania HQ just uploaded it this morning), SCA Spencer Gulf News is on holiday mode for five whole weeks. (not kidding) Doesn’t make a difference, since SCA holds a TV monopoly there. News production resumes 16 January.
