John Schluter
John Schluter (born 1955) is the weekday weather presenter for Seven News in Brisbane as well as being the host of 'Flashback' - a long running segment within Sunday evening news broadcasts.
[edit] Media career
Formerly presenting the weather on QTQ-9's National Nine News in Brisbane for nearly 25 years, he quit in September 2006, just short of his 25th anniversary with the Nine Network. In the late eighties, John did voice-over work for Brisbane Ten (TVQ-0/10) but returned to Nine. He was subsequently replaced by weekend weather presenter Joseph May.[1][2]
John was later signed by Seven News Brisbane as a fill-in weather presenter for Talitha Cummins, a position which was later made permanent following high ratings for the then-second rate Seven bulletin (Seven News came 2nd in Brisbane in 2006).[3]
John is married to former Brisbane television identity, Chris Collins, who presented news on Brisbane's Ten News with Rob Readings from 1987 to 1989. He also has a son, Ben.
