Does Bob Hartnett usually present the weekend sport? Pretty sure its the first time Ive seen him.

[Firetorch]

And is there a reason N9N is running so late tonight? Only on to weather now, Sevens already moved onto The Great Outdoors after the Lotto.

[Slj]

Readings usually does it, with Harnett the fill in now that Cometti has gone.


Going late tonight too.

Why in the world is Dixie presenting tonight?

Good lord he's aged a lot since I last saw him

Bob looked really small in the same shot as Dixie then.

Oh. Forgot about that. They actually had a good sports team for the last few years, Commetti, Thomson, Readings and Harnett now that I think about it.

Well seeing as Seven is going back to 1990s in its footy coverage. Nine wants to go back with it's news.

Triple M 104.5 in Brisbane yesterday morning was reporting that cricket great Ian Healy has signed a contract to read the National Nine News Queensland sport until Waly Lewis recovers.

Ian Healy was on Berts Family Feud yesterday- reading the pre-show question.

So obviously his indiscretion wasn't so bad for him

Obviously trying to build his image back up after his little incident.

Miranda Deakin, a former presenter on kids show Hot Source will be Nine Brisbane's new weekend weather presenter.

Here's another one to rack up to Brian Burke and the Corruption and Crime Commission.

Matthew George Martin, all 1.55kg of him, arrived 11 weeks premature on Friday. His mum, Channel 9 political reporter Nadia Mitsopoulos, went into labour on Thursday.

For the past few weeks Nadia has been covering the CCC hearings and filed her last report on Wednesday, including a live cross from outside Parliament for the 6pm news.

By the time she got home that night, she felt that Matthew, the son of Woodside spin doctor and former IC editor Roger Martin, was ready to come into the world and find out about all the hoo-ha at the CCC.

Contractions started at 3am on Thursday and he was born at 6am Friday. But it could be a month or two before he leaves King Eddies.

Welcome to the world, Matthew George Martin. Congratulations and best wishes Nadia and Roger.

The report on Cyclone George on this mornings news was about 3 or 4 reports into the bulletin. Nine isn't going to pick up Western Australian viewers like this.

I agree to some extent, although reports that have national implications should always get top billing. Maybe if N9N morning and afternoon editions devoted the first ten minutes to individual state wraps.

i hope matt price comes home to read for STW, would b great for them

I'm still confident they'll bring Bartlett back.

[TimC]

bartlett suposedly hated reading for STW, would be great though

You think he'd come back to present a bulletin that no one (except MM) bothers to watch?

Also, which female presenter would they keep? Dixie is too dominant as a female presenter, but I think Sonia is too quiet. Susannah is sort of in between the two.

Once they get respectable newsreaders, people will watch.

On a different topic, what was Nines cyclone coverage like tonight? More comprehensive than Sevens?
