And Paul Barry will be in his 9th consecutive year as Presenter of MW, same as Stuart Littlemore.
He’s the longest-serving host overall right? Given his run in 2000 and his brief guest host stint in 2010?
Yes he would be the longest serving host of media watch.
Media Bites back on Thursday
A couple of real clangers in this episode - 10 News plus Hot Seat plus a caption error on Indian TV.
I’m surprised Media Watch didn’t mention the UAP purchasing one hour blocks on commercial TV this week on last night’s show.
A “massive defeat for News Corp”
At the end of tonight’s program Paul announced that Janine Perrett with be hosting for the next 3 weeks.

[/quote]She filled in last year after Paul had his bike accident didn’t she?
Yes
She was wonderful. Looking forward to the next 3 weeks.
Paul Barry must have almost caught up to the hosting record. I think it’s about time to pass the baton now.
He must have broken it last year given he hits 9 years this year and it’s 10 overall once you add in his stint hosting for the year 2000. Stuar Littlemore hosted for 8 years and Barry past that in 2021.
He also presented whilst Jonathan Holmes was on leave.
Paul Barry already on his break - has an impersonator presenting Media Bites. Includes Nine News bloopers.
He looks like he’s trying to be sarcastic but it’s coming off as very stilted.
