10 Sydney now has four of the best newsreaders in the country on their books. It is time to start utilising them properly. Step one, more bulletins.

She essentially replaced Samantha Jolly who defected to Seven Perth in early-mid 2010.

Sandra, Chris, Natarsha, and Hugh? :grimacing:

Chris, Sandra, Narelda and Hugh.

Ah yes, Narelda. But how could you forget Natarsha :thinking:

Sheā€™s great but I personally wouldnā€™t rate her as one of the best in the country.

Who was the ones doing project last night

Thatā€™s very much a matter of personal opinion.

While 10 News First has Sandra, Hugh, Bathie & Media Spyā€™s favourite LK, Nine has Pete, GG, Deb, Davina and Jayne. By a very slim margin, Iā€™d personally say that Sydneyā€™s highest rating news service just happens to have the marketā€™s highest quality presenters.

Whilst youā€™re right about Pete, Deb and Georgie.l these are unknown unless youā€™re an avid Nine watcher. They are not really national readers who have had very high profiles. Ten have Sandra, Hugh, Chris, Natarsha. Davina and Jayne havenā€™t really had their own bulletin before.

I donā€™t get the love for the male presenters on the east. Overton, Hitchner, Riminton, Fergo etc. Granted Iā€™m a born and bred Perth boi, but Iā€™ve never understood the mega appeal of those guys.

I think Ten does a better job of making their talent more known on the national scale. Moreso due to their model with being less on the local front at times.

Davina Smith has only been the regular presenter of Nineā€™s 4pm Sydney bulletin most days during the year (surely that has to count?). Granted that Jayne Azzopardi is probably known more for her reporting, but she has getting more presenting time on Nine this Summer - Iā€™d personally argue that Davina & Jayne are likely to be more recognisable amongst mainstream Sydney than some presenters on 10 News First.

In any case, the question of which network has the best presenters (and reporters - knowing that you donā€™t really like Mike Dalton on Nine while heā€™s very much a ā€œIf he speaks, Iā€™ll listenā€ type for yours truly) is again very much one open to personal opinion and interpretation. But thatā€™s not a bad thing, because it makes for very interesting forum conversations! :slight_smile:

Yes all open to opinion. I wouldnā€™t recognize davina or Jayne in the street or shops if I bumped into them whereas the main ten ones I would.

As for Dalton. You might like him but heā€™s just cringe and not know for reporting hard news, rolling coverage, international breaking news. Heā€™s a joke. On par with the terrible tim Bailey in terms of cringe.

Just remembered in my head that around the end of this month Sandra Sully will be celebrating 30 years at 10.
An absolutely amazing achievement!!
One of my favourite newsreaders (and I live in Victoria) and a true class act.

Wonder how theyā€™ll celebrate it? Another This Is Your Life on Studio 10 (doubt it). Probably a national story and look back.

Wait, Veronica has been reporting. Is she not in the newsroom at the moment because she should be filling in. Sheā€™s way stronger.

With Pippa on parental leave, we now have no back up weather presenter either.
