I also remember Sandra Sully filled in on the Perth bulletin intermittently in between Tim Webster stepping down from the news desk in May 2008 and the return of local production to Perth (when Narelda Jacobs took over).
This was six months after Charmaine Dragun passed away suddenly in November 2007.
In the late 90s, TEN moved its news production in Perth to Sydney along with anchor Greg Pearce with Pearce moving east to present the news with only the weather and sport segments in Perth.
Yep, and Adelaide moved to Melbourne.
This was due to the network not upgrading its studios to digital. Cost savings.
Then when Pearce returned to Perth (I assume) towards the end of 2003, Ron Wilson was brought in to read the news, meaning he would read two bulletins a night (Sydney’s at 5:00pm then Perth’s at 7:00pm or 8:00pm Sydney time).
I wonder if Jessica Rowe ever read the Perth news, which I know was read by Christina Morrissy and Celina Edmonds in the early noughties.
Pearce left the network around that time with Tim Webster in 2005 alongside the late Charmaine Dragun read Perth’s news bulletins from Sydney while Tim Gossage/Lachy Reid and Michael Schultz did the weather from Perth
Could these news broadcasts into Brisbane have been national editions of 10 News. Could this havr been a weekend bulletin that she filled in on during her late news days.
I remember there were times they used presenters to fill in during the noughties (i am assuming they were freelancing) as we never saw them again. I remember Steve Liebmann, George Donnikin and Mike Munro all did fill in news presentations on weekends. Also there was a few times that Sandra Sully presented national coverage of breaking news over the years.
Yes, but we were referring to her time at TVQ, not nationally from Sydney.

Fairly certain that was around 2008/2009 era, as Bill McDonald was definitely at Seven News by 2014. And it also features the old Ten Late news desk in Sydney, which had changed to the small round blue desk by 2014
That small desk you mentioned was also used by the national bulletins, while the Sydney and Perth flagship bulletins shared that large desk often seen in the background during the weekend bulletins.
By July 2008, at which point the Perth bulletin returned to local production, all bulletins used just the one desk - large round one. Sports Tonight then moved to a standing presentation.
Thanks - I had problems with that clip and had to re-digitise it , must have been mislabelled.
Loved this end cap. Loved that it all moved and animated and not just a cut and paste still.
Sydney update from 25th July 1989:
Public Eye promo:
The early 10 TV Australia promos had the “10” outside of a square but the Australia map in a square. They soon changed it so that the “10” was put into the square (as per the logo) and the Australia out of it.

Wow I remember that Hinch ad now! Very cheeky and to the point. Love it.
From 11th July 1991.

Second Editon:
The irony is, that once Hinch finished on 10, Hinch went to Nine. Prior to that he was at 7. Hinchs replacement was Alan Jones, which only lasted a short time. I think the egg was on 10s face with that debacle.
I had read that it was claimed Hinch was sacked for not being controversial enough. Does anyone know if that was true?
