Host Allison Langdon was unimpressed by Channel Nine’s decision to use Melbourne correspondent Alicia Loxley to cover election night.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, Allison, 42, was “not happy” with her coveted election night performance alongside world-class Sydney evening news anchor Peter Overton, who was handed over to another presenter.
Langdon was reportedly so disappointed with Loxley’s new role that two weeks ago, Nine’s news director expressed his displeasure to Darren Wick.

The breakfast show was third this week, after its daily rivals Channel Seven’s Sunrise and ABC’s News Breakfast, the Guardian reported.
