Veronica Eggleton has been named the new Sport Presenter for 10 News First Queensland’s 5pm bulletin, filling the key position left vacant since the presentation moved from Sydney to Queensland weeks ago.
With Sharyn Ghidella and Liz Cantor already helming the news and weather, Eggleton’s appointment (as first tipped by TV Blackbox last month) completes the all-female presenting team starting this Monday.
From 10:
Launching on the desk this Monday, Veronica’s appointment makes way for an all-female presenting team, featuring a powerhouse trio of leading journalists.
This news trifecta will bring together Sharyn Ghidella as News Presenter, Veronica Eggleton as Sport Presenter, and Liz Cantor as Weather Presenter, backed by an established team of on ground reporters.
This historic moment for Channel 10 is more than just a hat trick for women in media. With this winning line-up, we’re set to bring Queensland a fresh, dynamic news experience with the breaking stories viewers want and need.
Veronica has been MVP of 10’s sports coverage for nearly a decade. With career highlights that include covering eight State of Origin series, NRL Grand Finals, and the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Veronica is set to bring her A-game to the desk thanks to her deep sports knowledge and passion.
Speaking of the appointment, Veronica said:
“After coming ‘off the bench’ to present for much of my career, I’m excited to be part of the starting side and Sharyn and Liz are a powerhouse line-up to join.”
“It’s been wonderful for the 10 Brisbane team to have a studio back in recent weeks. For me, it’s a real privilege, and I hope we can continue to add to the wonderful legacy built here over the years.”
Veronica will commence her role as Sport Presenter from tomorrow.
