Seven News has announced further presentation changes with Sydney anchor Mark Ferguson to be joined by Angela Cox from Sundays to Thursday bulletins.
It follows recent changes under Seven Network Director of News and Current Affairs Anthony De Ceglie.
Since December 2020, Cox has co-anchored Sydney’s weekend bulletins alongside Michael Usher. She will continue to anchor live news coverage and special reports for the network. Both started their careers in Tamworth, collectively accruing 70 years of experience between them.
Mark Ferguson said: “I’m really looking forward to it. Ange will add so much extra to the bulletin each night; more experience, more energy and it will allow us to be much more versatile when that big stories break.
“In some ways it’s a fresh start for me, I’ve never really co-presented before so I’m hoping Ange can teach this older dog some new tricks. She is a talented journalist, a great presenter and an even greater person. Very honest and very positive with real drive and energy.
“We have a fantastic team in the Sydney newsroom focused on covering what matters most to Sydney each and every night. This move will only help.”
Angela Cox said: “I am thrilled to be sitting alongside Mark Ferguson as we embark on an exciting new era for Seven’s 6.00pm Sydney news.
“Mark’s warmth, integrity and authority behind the news desk has rightfully earned him a loyal following. He’s also a great bloke, always professional, very funny and a great husband and family man.
“The news landscape has changed so much. The way we consume news is radically different now than even 10 years ago and 7NEWS is evolving too. Exciting times ahead.”
Anthony De Ceglie, added: “This is a new and fresh approach for Seven’s flagship Sydney 6pm news. Mark Ferguson is an institution and deservedly one of the most trusted news voices in Australia.
“This new co-anchor approach brings a new sense of dynamism, innovation and flexibility to the hour-long program and I am incredibly excited to see Mark and Angela Cox work together.”
Both will present their first bulletin together on Sunday, 8 September, with Ferguson on assignment all this week filming a special series of reports.
Seven is yet to announce changes to its weekend bulletin, with media speculation Angie Asimus could join Michael Usher.
