When you’re being interviewed on national TV and in a way, essentially being invited into people’s homes (and/or other places where the TV may be on Sky News), surely having a suit/tie that’s done up properly isn’t that much to ask?
I’ve seen presenters on regional TV who have been dressed better than Andrew Clennell was in that live cross/interview for Sky News!
Surely I can’t be the only one here who still remembers when Brendan Smith was a reporter on Nine News Queensland (and NBN News in Coffs Harbour before that, IIRC)? Seems like a very long time ago now!
In any case, congrats to Brendan in his new position.
In many ways, Speers is the face of Sky News so the significance of his departure can’t be understated. While Kieran Gilbert will be a good political editor (assuming he replaces Speers in the role), the gap that Speers will leave not only Sky’s political coverage but the channel itself is massive
Peter Stefanovic will front a new documentary Lawyer X: The Untold Story for Sky News, telling the story of barrister turned informant Nicola Gobbo. It’s ‘coming soon’.
