It’s certainly ironic the Tasmanian Nightly News can’t use the “Seven News” brand because of that lack of editorial control over the content, but then Seven themselves happily trash it…

On a children’s show from early 1980s had a news segment with a puppet called Gary Gnu who signed off with no gnooze is good gnooze with Gary Gnu
I was thinking tonight that he’s been on every night for a while without a break! Thanks for adding it up. I’m pretty sure he said last Sunday that Kim would be back on Monday (last week) but then he has been on for the week so hopefully everything is ok for Kim.

Who else have they got to do it? Gonna be a big loss when he retires.

Guess Murph non-stop is the best option.
EDIT: Misunderstanding cleared up.
But yes, my grandmother has died so I won’t be on the air in Tasmania for a while.

Sorry for your loss Mark. FWIW we look forward to seeing you on the weekend updates during the footy.

Sorry for your loss @Techster.
Very sad loss for you and I am sure the whole site sends our collective sympathy.
I was just referring back to your previous comment:

Sorry if I reacted a bit too strongly to you mate. Still a bit over sensitive.
But yes, pigs will still fly before you’ll see me at 6pm.

Sorry for your loss, condolences to you and your family.
On the news, Kim was back again tonight and Murph was back doing the weather too so the streak continues. Actually, that’s something I don’t want to think about - Murph streaking…

Looks like Kim’s return was shortlived and from what she was saying on Monday night and the way she was sounding she’s been unwell. Peter Murphy has moved back into the big chair for last night and today to continue his streak. Even had a new suit on tonight!
Hope Kim recovers soon, a lot of nasty bugs going around at the moment and lingering for people but great to see the versatility of Murph.

The streak came to an end last night (Friday) with Kim back behind the news desk and Nick Kelly on sport and Kiah on weather.
Michael Maney back reading the weekend bulletin tonight too.

Murph on news again tonight. With the absence of Kim and Lou for the best part of six weeks now it seems like a missed opportunity to make viewers familiar with new faces like Nick Kelly, Victoria Eastoe or Mark Zita behind the desk who will probably be around longer than Murph. Even grabbing Madeline Kerr from the 10 noodles across to 7Tas would be another familiar face. On the flip side it has given Kiah and Jharvs more exposure on weather. Hoping all is good health wise with a lot of the team missing recently.

Mentioned at the end of tonight’s bulletin that Michael Maney will be in over the weekend and Murph back Monday. Kiah said she would look forward to seeing him then so assuming Murph will be on news still.

Not sure where the Sunshine Coast 10 news updates come from, but definitely not Queensland! The news reader didn’t pronounce Bli Bli the correct way.
