SCA Director of News – Tasmania, Grant Wilson, said, “Kim has a wealth of experience as a journalist, producer and news presenter, and her connection with our audience is well-established.

“Our team will benefit from her vast experience, both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes. I’m grateful that Peter Murphy has been able to act as our stand-in presenter, allowing us to go through an in-depth process to select the best possible person for the job.”

“I’m heading back to the place where I started my career more than 30 years ago, as a 17-year-old,” she said. “TV studios have always been a big part of my life, so I guess it really is like returning to the family fold. Nightly News on Seven Tasmania has played a significant role in keeping Tasmanians up to date with what’s happening around them. I am eager to maintain that, and alongside a skilled team, continually strive to be the state’s leading and trusted source for local, national and international news.”
