She was the Hermione Kitson at Ten Melbourne prior to 2008, for many years.
I recall her moving to the ABC.
While on topic, ATV-10 lost a number of other jorunos shortly after - around Black Saturday, including Cameron Smith, Angelina Anictomatis, Kellie Morgan and James Wakelin. Nicole was also in the US at the time. Whilst Kate McGrath (now an exec at Nine Melbourne) returned from leave & they picked-up Elisa Throwden (ABC), Alicia McMillan (Seven) and Kate Creedon.
There was a 7pm Ten News over 2002-2003 summer (in Melbourne at least)? Hosted by Mal Walden, with Brad McEwan (before going to Brisbane), Mignon and George Donikian.
My guess is that she’s using it as an opportunity to get back into TV / Media full time as she hasn’t had any other offers (that we know of) for work in a similar capacity or hosting roles since finishing up on The Bachelorette about a year ago and making the move to Melbourne.
A little surprised by announcement this as I was under the impression that there was a hiring freeze at Ten at the moment whilst they were in administration.
