Chris Bath Channel 7
Bath has held a variety of presenting positions with the network in the past before taking on the role of presenter for Seven’s Morning News. She co-hosted the 6 a.m. newscast with Peter Ford from 1996 to the beginning of 1997, which later changed its name to Sunrise. In 1997, she became host of the organization’s Sunday morning political meeting show, Eye to Eye, and moderator of Seven’s Late Information. ( In August 2003, The Late News was eventually cancelled.)
In the middle of 1997, Bath worked 18 hours a day to fill in as host of 11 AM, present the afternoon news updates, record the news bulletin shown on Ansett flights, and present the 11 pm Late News bulletin for three weeks.
In 1998, Shower was a correspondent for Witness, the organization’s lead current undertakings program, until it was chopped out soon thereafter. After that, Stan Grant and Bath were asked to co-host the new current affairs show Dateline on Seven. She turned it down, and this summer, she was given the job of presenting the Sydney 6 pm news.
In 1999, she got back to the Seven Late News, as well as perusing evening news notices on Sydney radio broadcast 2WS from May. In July, she did a now scandalous meeting with Sydney’s paper The Day to Day Broadcast which didn’t agree with the board. She also stated that she was the “only presenter” at Seven who wrote her own updates and that she had “refused to work on” Today Tonight. She also appeared as a guest panelist on Geoffrey Robertson’s Hypotheticals in October and hosted the network’s coverage of New Year’s Eve on December 31.
Bath was a member of Seven’s Sydney 2000 Olympic host team, which included a spot on Olympic Sunrise. In August, she conveyed the Olympic Light in Newcastle. Shower was then offered the distinction of co-facilitating the introduction to the Initial Service live in front of an audience at the Olympic Arena, while seven months pregnant with her most memorable youngster.
She returned to political interviewing in 2001 as the presenter of Sunday Sunrise, where she gave birth to her son Darcy at the end of 2000. She stayed there for three years and also presented Sydney’s weekend 6 pm news bulletin until 2004 (including an extended bulletin live from Bali on October 12, 2003). She also co-hosted a portion of the networks’ coverage of the Federal Election on November 10, 2001.
She began replacing Chris Reason as the host of Seven Morning News in 2004.
Together with professional dance partner Trenton Shipley, Bath competed in the third Australian season of Dancing with the Stars in 2005. She received the highest score from the judges in seven of the ten weeks of the series, including the semi-final and grand final. Chris Bath came in second to Home and Away actor Ada Nicodemou for the title of Dancing with the Stars Champion when votes from viewers and contestants were combined.
Seven News Sydney was broadcast by Bath beginning on December 12, 2005, through the end of 2005. After that, she worked for Seven Morning News from Wednesday to Friday and the weekend news for Seven News Sydney until the middle of January 2006. She also hosted the summer breakfast show from December 12 to January 13 on the Sydney radio station WSFM 101.7.
The Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported on December 7, 2005, that Bath was in negotiations with the Nine Network to host the Today breakfast show in 2006. Notwithstanding, Seven insiders say Shower was contracted to Seven until 1 December 2006 at that point and the Nine Organization denied moving toward her. According to The Herald Sun, Bath declined the position because she was unable to handle the early starts and wanted to keep her contract with Seven. Jessica Rowe, who is currently a presenter for Ten News Sydney but was eventually replaced by Lisa Wilkinson less than 18 months later, was ultimately given the job.
In 2006, Shower started introducing Seven Morning News on Monday to Thursday and the Sydney nightly news on Fridays. From May, Shower traded jobs with Ann Sanders to introduce the end-of-the-week nightly news in Sydney as well as Fridays. The Morning News was taken over by Sanders. You’ve Got The Job, Bath’s brand-new employment-focused reality series, debuted later that same year on the Seven Network.
In 2007 and 2008, Bath frequently broadcast updates for Seven Late News and Seven 4.30 News on Fridays. This continued into 2009 when Bath took over for Monique Wright as Seven 4.30 News host on Fridays. In January 2009, Shower was selected as host of Seven’s new current undertakings program, Sunday Night. Following Ian Ross’s retirement in November of that same year, Bath took over as the weeknight anchor of Seven News Sydney. She was paired with her husband Jim Wilson as the sports presenter for the 6 p.m. weeknight bulletin in July 2012.
Mark Ferguson took Bath’s place in January 2014. Shower kept on introducing the 6 pm news on Friday and Saturday, as well as Sunday Night. After twenty years with the network, it was announced in June 2015 that Bath would be leaving to pursue new opportunities. Melissa Doyle would take his place on Sunday Night and Seven News Sydney on weekends.
