Stephen Quartermain

Stephen William Quartermain (born 7 May 1962[citation needed]) is an Australian television personality, journalist and presenter.

Quartermain is currently a sport presenter on 10 News First in Melbourne.

Quartermain began his career as a cadet journalist with Leader Newspapers in January 1980. He then joined the ABC in 1982, where he worked as a radio and television journalist, covering general news, politics, police rounds, finance, industrial affairs and sport.

In December 1984, Quartermain joined Network 10 where, during the 1980s, he was sports commentator for the National Basketball League and he also covered events such as the Seoul Olympics, Wimbledon, The Ashes and the world gymnastics championships. He was also a member of the "Eyewitness News Team".[citation needed]

In 1991, he hosted the sports program Sportsweek.[citation needed] He also covered Commonwealth games, the Sydney Olympics and other special sporting events including AFL, rugby league, basketball and swimming.

From 1998 until 2004, he appeared on shows such as The Panel, providing sports reports, and commentated Australian Football League matches for Network Ten when they gained the rights in 2002. Starting with the 2009 season, he has co-hosted with Robert Walls the new football discussion show One Week at a Time on Network 10's HD channel 10 Bold. Stephen hosted five Brownlow Medal ceremony presentations, hosted and called eight AFL Grand Finals until Network Ten lost the football rights at the end of the 2011 season.

After Network 10 lost the rights to televise AFL, Quartermain remained at the network, retaining his role as weekday sports presenter for the 10 News First bulletin in Melbourne. In 2013, he became the Friday presenter of 10 News First, with Mal Walden wanting to downscale his on-air role.[citation needed]

In December 2013, after presenting the main news bulletin for two days per week for some months, Quartermain replaced Walden and became the full-time presenter of Ten Eyewitness News Melbourne.
