TV3 host Heather du Plessis-Allan has revealed she’s quitting MediaWorks and leaving television - for now.
But the 32 year-old presenter has yet to break the news to her co-host Duncan Garner.
Mark Sainsbury filling in for Paul Henry this week.
Amanda Gillies in for Heather DPA tonight.
Amanda Gillies filling for for Heather du Plessis-Allan because she has been ordered off air by Mediaworks. She has not been required to work off her notice period and confirmed by Chief News Officer, Hal Crawford, she will not be returning to her roles on Story and on Radio Live.
Apparently it’s to do with the interview she gave to the NZ Herald about her decision to quit Mediaworks at the end of the year. Having read that interview, there’s nothing she said (unless I missed something) which could be deemed ‘controversial’ to order her off air.
Jenny Suo filling in for Samantha Hayes on Newshub Live at 6pm tonight.
And Ryan Bridge filling in for Duncan Garner on Story tonight. Duncan attending the funeral for veteran newsman Gordon McBride in Wellington today.
Ali Mau filling in for Paul Henry Monday and Tuesday due to Paul’s mother Olive being very ill at the moment.
Apologies for the double post
Paul is back on air tomorrow morning
Beautiful ending for Paul Henry this morning - “Make every day a brilliant day in paradise. Goodbye.”
Reporting on Dan Lake’s blooper-reel… not sure it it counts as; news, meta, an easy story, all or the above, none of the above… Merry Christmas I guess?
Amanda Gillies and Mark Richardson have been announced as Duncan Garner’s co-hosts for The AM Show in 2017. Kanoa Lloyd is widely tipped to be one of the three co-hosts for The Project.
Ingrid back to Newshub weather?
Most likely. IMO she is better suited to the role than Amanda.
does anyone know, if the AM show will have a new set? or will they reuse elements of the paul henry show set? or even use the newshub studio?
It will be using the same elements of the Paul Henry show studio. But will be updated with new colours and tile patterns.
Is this new (terribly named show) going to be on TV only?
No, radio and online as with Paul Henry.
