PRIME7 has been forced to replace Daniel Gibson as its local newsreader amid the fallout of Channel Seven blind-siding the regional affiliate with the creation of a one-hour national bulletin.

Gibson is heading up a 30-minute national news service at 6.30pm for Wagga and Orange viewers.

He has been replaced as the Albury newsreader by Natalie Forrest with the switch made last night.

Albury viewers will continue to watch a re-packaged national news service from Channel Seven in Melbourne, which doesnt include a weather report.

Prime Media Group chief executive Ian Audsley said Forrest was a logical replacement for Gibson, who has hosted the Albury bulletin since 2011.
