Personally, I would ship Karl over to the US Bureau and have him be Robert Penfold’s understudy until the latter retires. That way he is out of the eye of the gossip mags, reducing the amount of negative publicity, and he can do what he does best- reporting the news.
He is also a high-profile name that can get Nine interviews and win awards.

I always thought that Genovese was an average anchor. But compare him to Thompson and he is suddenly so much better!

Sums up of the Brisbane newsroom at the moment; inexperienced.

The Daily Telegraph’s Chief Court Reporter Emma Partridge will be the new Senior Crime Editor (Taking up the position Simon Bouda left behind when he returned to ACA? Either way, thank goodness we aren’t loosing Kelly Fedor!) for Nine News Sydney in 2019:
A very classy (NOT!) response from her soon to be rival TV reporter…

With the changes happening to TODAY and with Deb Knight an option to join the show, could Karl Stefanovic be a potential option to do Sydney weekend news, keeps him busy, was always good at the serious news aspect of Today. Can still do 60 Minutes and This time next year as well.

Considering all the media attention that surrounds him l couldn’t imagine Nine putting him in a high profile role on the Sydney bulletin,it would tarnish the bulletin in my opinion.
More work on 60 Minutes would be good for him next year.

Would 60 EP Kirsty Thomson want to work with Karl again after he slapped her down so severely in that Uber conversation?

That crossed my mind but i think Late News could be the “exciting new challenge” Nine has in mind for Sylvia. With the amount of serious effort Seven is putting into The Latest I wouldn’t think Nine would want them to gain too much traction in that space.

Peter Ford has been reporting that.
I don’t think Sylvia is the best choice though, especially going against Michael Usher. You need a high calibre anchor like Peter Overton, Tracy Grimshaw or even Mark Burrows. I would also do a point of difference to Seven and resurrect Nightline- a serious news bulletin (no interviews). Stick Sylvia on weather somewhere.
So they sacked him from the network? That is a bold move particularly given his experience in sports reporting and commentaring. Personally, I always thought he deserved the weekend gig on Sydney’s weekend news because of his experience.
Strange that he will be hosting for the next three weeks. If I was sacked, I would leave immediately.
