Yeah. Aside from a few minor tweaks, I think most elements of the current On-Air Presentation for Media Watch have been used since the start of Paul Barry’s 3rd reign in the chair.
A 2019 rebrand to mark 30 Years of Media Watch would be really nice, but due to the current status of ABC funding I certainly won’t be holding my breath for one!
New Titles for Media Watch tonight.
The 2000 set doesn’t look big or expensive just nice on the eyes.
Agree. Simple can be the best.

9:15pm Media Watch Season Return
Well overdue.
What??
Paul Barry looking on the bright side of side.
Media Watch is one underrated show and deserves to be featured more on news websites then the garbage that is MAFS
Any word on if Media Watch is going to do anything to mark its 30th Anniversary in a few weeks time?

The Australian reports Paul Barry will return as host in 2020. Tonight is the season finale.
Returning Feb 3

MW has often been back at its 15 minute duration.
I don’t know why they don’t extend this to a full 30 minute program.
