Wilson will present sport on Fridays and Saturdays.

Perhaps Seven Sydney need to actually address the real issue with the bulletin. Seven have now replaced the weather presenter and sports presenter whilst the actually problem is Mr Beige, the newsreader.
Chris Bath should never have been replaced. The problem was the content, not the presenter. Now the problem is the presenter and the content. Now add in a sports presenter who is very rough around the edges.
If Jim Wilson is doing sports during the week end then where or what is Ryan Phelan doing?
Glad I don’t live in Sydney.
Glad to hear Wilson is gone. A case of bringing in the babe and throwing out the Bathwater.
The sport and weather presenters better watch the way they banter before the commercial breaks. Sam’s not known for her GSOH 😉
What has Sam got to do with the Sydney 6pm news? :-/
Good luck Mel. I’ll be watching her read the news in April.
You do realise you have to be in Sydney. If you aren’t in Sydney then you probably can’t see her presenting skills
@William
You know you can stream Channel 7 from anywhere now?
No you don’t. You can watch any news bulletin from all 3 commercial networks from anywhere in Australia via their live steams. Why anyone would actually choose to watch 7 News Sydney is
I preferred Jim as well. Mel is better off reporting out in the field. Jim brings a positive bright attitude to the role other anchors can’t bring to TV.
Figured they would get her to do sport. Did I not read that Jim has been moved to senior sports presenter or something. Maybe he will be out and about doing reports.
i like Jim Wilson. this is a silly decision
haha just watch Seven try to spin a good news story by saying Jim has been good but we wanted to do this for ages good he has never grown up sorry I don’t like him!!! jmho
At least Sydney will only have to put up with his shouting at you for only two nights
Wow, you read my mind. Won’t have to reach for the remote volume control anymore. Thank you Seven Sydney.
