Great news - this year’s Carols will be shown live and free.
Is it not usually?
Not since the pandemic.
Wait, aren’t they just talking about the tv broadcast here and not the actual details of the event?
The event has always been on the Saturday before Christmas. In the past, it would screen live on that Saturday.
A few years back, it was recorded and screened closer to Christmas on the 23rd. This year, the Saturday before Christmas is the 23rd so if the event is on that night then they’re screening it live.
There’s something not adding up here.
Tickets have been sold for Saturday Dec 16 2023 as the LIVE event for Carols. Sadly it could have been LIVE on Saturday Dec 23 this year, but it doesn’t look that way.
Next year the 23rd is a Monday night.
So Seven was wrong to say the event would be shown live in the press release.
They are probably referring to the 2024 Carol’s.
Doubt it. Less likely to be live next year.
Rhonda Burchmore, Todd McKenney and Dami Im are returning to this year’s Carols, while The Voice 2023 winner Tarryn Stokes will make her first appearance.
TV Tonight article says it is expected to be hosted by Nat and Kochie. Surely that’s an error.
It’s not. Kochie wants to keep doing it. Maybe they might have Shirvo there too and ease him into the main role after a few years.
Great. Maybe Shirvo and Eddie will also join them. There were a few years when all 4 hosts presented.
Yeah didn’t they have Mel, Kochie, Nat, Beretts and Grant for a while there, all taking part? 2010/2011 IIRC or something around that period? Can’t re-call mid-2000s as much, but maybe then too.
