News Breakfast

It really isn’t harsh. Everyone is away so much. Bridget’s been a permanent host for 2 weeks now and she’s been away 3 days already.

They really need to find people who can commit properly. If they want to do other things they need to leave like Lisa. This needs to be their main focus.

Could you imagine Nat Barr and Karl being away so much?

These shows scream family and relationships. Think Kochie and Mel. They were part of peoples families and morning routines.

Just like the evening news. As most readers say when they leave “I have enjoyed being part your living rooms for the past …. Years”.

Reliability and stability are important.

He could also be dealing with personal issues, etc.

Wouldn’t be a good look if they removed him is he is dealing with something in his life that’s not within his control.

Again, it’s not just Tony though.

I really don’t think it’s personal issues. He’s everywhere else but news breakfast.

He was even on Guy’s spelling show too.

To be fair (and sort of prove your point), Karl was always off when Lisa was there. Those last few years were quite bad for this. They seem to have pulled back on those “special assignments” quite a bit

And it’s heavily impacted the show. The full team seem to be there now most days apart from illness etc.

It’s made a difference and the show has improved in ratings over the years.

They clearly realised that being there is more important than the other side jobs.

Yes, I think it’s clear you have to be all in for breakfast for it to work
