Media Watch

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.

No explanation at the beginning of the show as to why Andy Park was presenting. “Hi I’m Andy Park and welcome to Media Watch” but ended the show “Janine Perrett should be here next week after a bout of COVID.”

Janine Perrett will now be presenting after being in iso last week due to covid

I reckon they should bring Jordan ‘Friendlyjordies’ Shanks on to guest host an episode - would certainly a) get some extra publicity and b) ruffle more than a few feathers. :wink:

Doesn’t the dude have the biggest hate boner for the ABC or something?

More Janine Perrett please! Actually if Paul decides to call it a day I wouldn’t mind it a bit.

Janine strikes the perfect balance between satire, serious and pisstake, whilst Paul’s style is far more serious (though he does let loose on Media Bites).

Yeah! That’s what would make it so funny. 15 minutes of ‘you’re all sh**! All of you suck, you’re all sh**!’.

James Valentine will be doing media bites for today

She’s wonderful. Agree on the balance being just right and her presenting style and tone nails it every single time.
