Good god.
Whatâs wrong?
Saturday(18.11.2017)- Sunday (19.11.2017): Jonathan Uptin is co-anchoring with Alison in Queensland.
I have mixed feelings about this. While it would be great to have GG (or Deb, either one I donât mind) co-host Today, whoâs going to be the No.3 newsreader in Sydney if Deb moves to weekend news with Georgie moving to Today?
Weird that they havenât chose a new 3rd in line presenter⌠I keep thinking Amelia Adams will be as she doesnât have that many presenting roles and is doing Debs Mon/Fri shift. I would of thought Wendy Kingston too but sheâs moved away.
Initially, I thought one of the main reasons Georgie declined the Today role was that it meant she would be giving her 6pm News chair up. Perhaps this alleged contract entails Georgie filling-in when Pete and Deb arenât available?
I do like her news reading⌠but I much prefer Georgie on Today and seeing her lighter side. But Iâm sure she will still fill in on 6pm News as you said.
I think Iâd have really mixed feelings about Georgie Gardner or Deborah Knight becoming the new co-presenter of Today. On the one hand, Iâd be happy that either presenter is getting a promotion.
But at the same time, both GG and Deb are fairly popular newsreaders with Sydney (of course Peter Overton is Sydneyâs favourite TV newsreader of them all and that probably wonât change anytime in the foreseeable future, but stillâŚ) so Iâd be somewhat disappointed about the understandable prospect of seeing either presenter on the 6pm bulletin less often than we do now.
There are soooo many options - almost as many as potential replacements for Lisa Wilkinson:
Peter Stefanovic? Davina Smith? Karl Stefanovic? Sylvia Jeffreys? Tom Steinfort? Amelia Adams? Liam Bartlett? Leila McKinnon? Ben Fordham? Jayne Azzopardi?
Shall I go on?
Neil Breen?
