Josh said: âThe recent re-investment back into Queensland by 10 News First is testament to the enduring nature and commitment of the network.

Most recently, Josh served as the 7 News Gold Coast Chief of Staff for five years.
Throughout his career, Josh has extensively covered local news across Queensland, regularly being called upon to oversee coverage of natural disasters affecting the state with notable reporting from disaster zones such as Cyclone Larry in 2006 in Innisfail, the devastating Black Summer bushfires of 2019, the Brisbane floods and major events like the G20 Summit in Brisbane.

Is he an ex-7 News GC staff member?
Is the whole of 10 News First Queensland penny pinching from 7 at this point

It literally says in the release above heâs ex 7?
A lot of good talent has been let go by Seven over the last few months, so itâs no surprise 10 were able to cherry pick some of them to join the new local bulletin.

Ik it says ex-7 but wasnât sure if he was let go at the close of 7 GC or before it closed was clarifying.

Should said 
He was let go in June when there was some redundancies then, well before the recent changes to the GC operations.
Was also noted in the presenters thread a few months ago that he voiced a few stories for 10, believe he mightâve been doing some work behind the scenes too.

Noticed tonight in Qld the Late News preview during the news, the wording about the time the bulletin airing was a bit different.
Ursula said something like âsee you soon on 10 play and 10:30 east coast timeâ.

Couldnât saying âEastern Daylightâ be a better wording than this? Smh
Was the preview national?

They have just moved over to a new system in the last few weeks. Could be why.

Wow that sunrise esque gradient on the breaking news watermark is so hideous, an obvious carryover from the short lived breakfast which should have been well and truly scrapped by now.

Agreed. Same with the title cards. The backgrounds used during the bulletin would look so good as a title card! I notice the watermark every time and it annoys me so much!

It was good that they invited them to appear on screen but a bit weird how they crouched down there.

Are these crew leaving due to automation or are they just moving on elsewhere?

Some staff have been made redundant, however, others left on their own accord.
The latest cuts are believed to target staff in Studio Operations at 10âs offices in Pyrmont in Sydney where it is believed 3 people have been impacted, and follows recent shifts aimed at streamlining the networkâs already slim news division.
TV Blackbox understands that a small number of voluntary redundancies were offered to staff, with another source telling this website that this time around more people were putting their hand up to take up the offer.
