Nine’s biggest loss in years!!
A shame that she is leaving Nine. She has been a great host for the network, and knew her NRL.
Yvonne has been a fantastic asset for 9 after a few years and will be sorely missed. I liked her – respected towards everyone at the Nine Network.
Now that 9 has Erin Molan to do some NRL duties, i think it’s about time that Channel 9 need Emma Freedman to host NRL.
Bit of a shame. Enjoyed her presenting style and Nine r ahead of seven in having a female presenter for there main sports coverage during winter! 7Sport have not done it! Probably never will! This isn’t surprising because Nines former head of sport is head of FOX Sports live events !
She will be a great asset to Foxtel. She has come a long way since her start reading sport on Rob Brough’s Channel 7 local Sunshine Coast news.
Huge loss for Nine. A stand out performer. May have been disappointed she was overlooked as Ken Sutcliffes replacement on Nine News Sydney.
Other than Peter Sterling (who is already there part time), there is no one else at 9 worth bringing to Fox Sports. Hoping this is it for Fox Sports poaching 9’s “talent”.
i love her. i remember her being on 7 local news here in cairns.
what a loss by 9
whos her replacement.
