He is an excellent newsreader when solo. IMO Seven should have gone after him rather than Usher.

Great interview with Hugh Riminton tonight 
I remember his first bulletin at Ten:
A live-cross from Copenhagen in December 2009 with Jacqueline Maddock on the Late News.
He thereafter became Senior Political Correspondent
And a year later Political Editor, with Paul Bongiorno confined to “6pm with George Negus” (as Political Affairs Editor) and a year later Paul wound his role back to a more contributing editor role, as we occasionally see now.

Liv mentioned over the weekend on her Instagram that she’s enjoyed doing the weather over the last month and that she would be back presenting in a months time, so no doubt we’ll see perhaps Josh Holt filling in again this weekend?

Can’t remember if this has been mentioned in here yet, but Ten News Queensland have added a former Producer / Reporter to their reporting lineup on a freelance basis since about late August this year.
According to his LinkedIn profile
“Worked as a Journalist, Presenter and TV Producer at Ten from 2000 until 2008.”

Scott is freelancing as I understand it. Fingers crossed CBS can fill a few vacancies around the network soon!

If CBS are going down the path of investing extra resources (back) into the newsrooms, I wouldn’t expect many changes within the next 6 months.
Changes are usually made above first. Expect new management to be implemented first.
Securing the Big Bash Cricket rights will be one of the first priorities for the Network.
