There’s definitely been a revamp to the Seven Sharp music. More upbeat, I quite like it.

I wonder who will take over Q+A with Corin off to RNZ. Expect it will be Campbell but their last political shuffle was unexpected (Jessica Mutch Political editor instead of Katie Bradford or Andrea Vance).
Rebecca Wright’s overseas post is coming to an end, I would put her in the mix. She’s a sharp shooter, similar style to Tova O’Brien on Three, she would make a great political editor (or Q+A host, as I guess Mutch won’t be wanting to give up pol editor role before the election).

Yeah a tricky one.
Are we sure Rebecca Wright is leaving? I agree she’d be a great choice but the US correspondent doesn’t work like the UK/Aus one (2yr cycle) as the US reporter is freelance. (My source says it’s due to US work laws). So while she’s been there for 2 years now, she may not be home for a while.
I’d be looking at Tim Wilson for Q+A. Or maybe someone like Heather Du Plessis-Allan if she’s welcome back at TVNZ.

Just found this gem 
Both Jeremys on the networks’ 7pm shows were out on the same Hugh Jackman assignment this morning.

Yup, she is. To quote article from Aug last year:
When Rebecca was offered the much-coveted two-year contract as TVNZ’s US correspondent, the timing was hardly ideal.
At the end of this year when Rebecca’s contract ends, the plan is to head back to New Zealand and settle down. “It’s where I’m from and where I want to be long-term.”

Interesting. Something might have changed in the way they award it. Cheers for the link.

Yeah I thought the same. He was a very natural fit for the show.

Still unsure if Susan is up to doing live broadcasting after her fall a few years ago, she has never done ZB since (used to be the fill in for breakfast and drive); as well as Q&A. Awful on so many levels and robbed us of a great presenter.
Don’t think Jack would do it. Short turnaround from finishing that til Breakfast the next morning, although I know they have couches at TVNZ he could sleep on

Just watched half an hour of breakfast, nothing but cringe, I feel they’re losing any credibility they had left. Tv 1 is the wrong channel for this team in my opinion. Catering to the wrong audience I think.

They are all good to great broadcasters in their own right but they don’t feel much like a team.
Kiwis like opinion at breakfast and while I don’t particularly like Garner and Richardson together (too much of the same reckons), it’s a more engaging product as Breakfast feels a bit too formulaic.

Yes Breakfast and Seven Sharp are pathetic now… TVNZ seem determined to make their shows as PC as possible.
I agree with this too. Started off good as Garner wasn’t so opinionated but over time it’s become a bit of an ego trip between the 2 of them.

John Campbell presented 1News tonight with Wendy.
Thing I like about John is he likes to engage with the viewer and not just reading an auto cue.

Agreed. It does make his co-reader seem a bit robotic though.
