Doody is good with the autocue for news updates and stuff, but for weather is yeesh, he’s better suited to entertainment and lighter news IMO
Narelda returning to Perth to present weekend news from April 18
Narelda Jacobs Returns To Perth To Host Local 10 News Weekend Bulletin.
From Saturday, 18 April At 5pm AWST On 10.
Network 10 today announced that journalist and presenter Narelda Jacobs will return to Perth to present a reinstated local 10 News weekend bulletin.
Narelda returns to Western Australia after taking parental leave following the arrival of her baby daughter with her wife, Karina.
A familiar face to Western Australian viewers, Narelda brings more than two decades of experience in broadcast journalism with Network 10, including more than ten years presenting 10 News First in Perth. Most recently, she presented the national 10 News First Midday bulletin from Sydney.
From April, Narelda will lead the reinstated local weekend bulletin, bringing her experience and connection to Western Australian viewers every Saturday and Sunday.
Natalie Forrest will continue as the weekday presenter of 10 News Perth, ensuring audiences can rely on the strong and familiar leadership that has helped make the bulletin one of the state’s most trusted news services.
Narelda said: “After six years presenting national news from Sydney, I’m excited to be coming home with my family. News doesn’t stop breaking over the weekend and I’m thrilled to be able to deliver it live and local, to the west from the west.”
Lachlan Reid, Executive Editor, Perth said: “We are excited to have Narelda back home and most importantly back in the newsroom. 10 News is dedicated to serving the Perth community and Narelda is the perfect fit to give us a live and local feel over the weekend.”
Martin White, VP News, Paramount Australia said: “Narelda is one of the best journos and presenters around and is a trusted local voice in Perth. She’s perfect to front our live and local WA weekend bulletin, to give people the news they need about their local community.”
10 News Perth Weekend Bulletin Hosted By Narelda Jacobs
From Saturday, 18 April At 5pm AWST On 10.
Interesting move. So Ange is remaining on 10 News Lunchtimes by the sounds of it.
Wonder if this is a sign of weekend local bulletins to be in the pipeline or merely giving Narelda some work
This is a very interesting move - mostly that the weekend edition will be locally produced - is this the first time since 2011, or was Perth’s weekend edition always presented from Sydney during the news revolution era?
Judging by these uploads, it looks like it was presented in 2011 during the news revolution.
However, it returned to Sydney upon the other local editions being axed. The localized bulletin itself was axed in 2014, before returning in late 2018.
Thanks for this, forgot about Michael Tetlow on weekends ![]()
Ursula Heger presenting in Sydney tonight
Ditto Amelia again today
Georgie is presenting today’s bulletin for Perth as well.
Edit
When does Narelda start (to run out her contract)?
Why do you think it is “to run out her contact”?
Well why on earth is the former Midday and Afternoons presenter doing Perth weekends, just after they put a new presenter in the role? She’s under contract, they need her to be doing something.
Well, they always need more than one presenter. We don’t know what the personal situations are. TV networks are flexible these days and many newsreaders and reporters job share so that they can keep working while raising families.
