Contents

He is best known for co-hosting FIVEaa Breakfast with David Penberthy and for anchoring Seven News Adelaide bulletins alongside Rosanna Mangiarelli on Channel 7. [1] [2]

Radio

Goodings commenced working at FIVEaa in 2007. [1] He was appointed as the host of the station's afternoon program in December 2013. [3] Goodings hosted the afternoon show until September when he was announced as the new co-host of the FIVEaa breakfast show, replacing Mark Aiston who moved to a weekend lifestyle program. [4] Jeremy Cordeaux replaced Goodings on the afternoon program. [4]

Since Goodings joined Penberthy on the breakfast show, the program has continued to consistently rate well and the duo have routinely been nominated as the Best On-Air Team (Metro AM) at the annual Australian Commercial Radio Awards. [5] However they have never won the award, having been defeated each year by teams from either Sydney's 2GB or Melbourne's 3AW. [6]

When Penberthy took paternity leave in 2017, Goodings co-hosted the breakfast program with various people including Jay Weatherill, Steven Marshall, Nick Xenophon and Grant Stevens. [7]

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Australia in 2020, Goodings commenced co-hosting the breakfast program remotely from a home studio. [8]

Television

In January 2019, it was announced Goodings would be the new sports presenter on 10 News First: Adelaide , replacing Nick Butler who relocated back to Melbourne. [9]

Goodings continued reading the sport on 10 News First alongside anchor Rebecca Morse until the pair were made redundant in September 2020 when the network underwent a major restructure, which included the axing of the locally-presented Adelaide edition of 10 News First. [10] The final bulletin went to air on 11 September 2020, after which it was replaced with a combined Victoria/South Australia bulletin presented by Jennifer Keyte from Melbourne. [11]

In September 2022, Goodings began co-presenting the weekend editions of Seven News Adelaide with Rosanna Mangiarelli, replacing Mike Smithson. [12]

Following the retirement of long-serving weeknight newsreader Jane Doyle, it was announced in December 2022 that Goodings and Mangiarelli would replace Doyle as weeknight presenters in 2023, with Smithson returning as weekend newsreader. [1] [13] On their first night together, Seven News Adelaide recorded more than double the ratings of rival Nine News Adelaide , with 132,000 viewers to the latter's 61,000. [14]

Personal

Goodings is married. [1] He and his wife have one daughter who was born in October 2022. [15]

He studied politics at Adelaide University. [1]

Goodings is the son of former Seven News presenter Graeme Goodings. [1]
