    Alicia Gorey quits, Karina Carvalho appointed
     UPDATED 27/04/2008 | Sri Lankan-born Karina Carvalho has been announced as the replacement for Alicia Gorey as the presenter for ABC News.

    "I feel so honoured to have this role", the 27 year old from Winthrop said.

    "A lot of privileged people have sat in the chair before me.''

    Carvalho has been a reporter for ABC News and ABC Radio for almost a year.

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE | Western Australia is set to lose yet another high profile media personality, with ABC News Western Australia presenter Alicia Gorey announcing she has quit.

    The popular newsreader is moving back to Melbourne to work as a reporter for National Nine News.

    "It's sad and it has been an emotional morning. I've been here for five and a half years", Gorey told reporters yesterday.

    "My parents are over in Melbourne, so it'll be good to be back with my family".

    A passionate St Kilda fan, Gorey joked that she "can't handle watching the Saints lose at Subiaco any more. That's the real reason I'm leaving".

    ABC boss Kim Jordan says that no decision has been made on who will replace Gorey on the ABC's 7pm news bulletin.

    Possible replacements include current weekend presenter Craig Smart, and reporter and fill in presenter Frances Bell.

    "Alicia has been a tremendous front person for us. We will be considering all our options." he said.

    Gorey will continue presenting ABC News for the next six weeks.

    They tried about 4 years ago in Sydney with Juanita Phillips and Tony Eastley and it didn't last long.



    Why does it work on commercial and not on ABC? (Off-topic [?] so feel free to move it to ABC News) :)
