MAJOR NEWS ALERT: The 2019 Sydney Royal Easter Showbag launch event will be held next Wednesday, March 13. As longtime media observers in this market (and probably even a few outside of it) should know by now, it’s that one held somewhere at the showgrounds a month or so prior to the big event each year where kids from the children’s hospitals are invited to road test the bags which are expected to be on sale for 12 days or unless stocks sell out prior.
The question I’m sure Media Spy will be wondering about for the next seven days: Will the Nine News Sydney tradition of Mike Dalton’s top notch investigative journalism on those showbags continue in 2019?
Like the reference to Mike Dalton’s reporting (as much as I may enjoy it) as being “top notch investigative journalism”, of course I wasn’t being entirely serious with the use of “MAJOR NEWS ALERT” at the start of that post.
Tonight was Alicia Loxley’s last night presenting weekends in Melbourne for a while with her heading off on maternity leave. Most likely Brett McLeod will be her replacement.
Tony Jones during the Afternoon News gave Alicia a funny farewell… she said maybe we can have a barbecue once the baby arrives and he didn’t attempt to kiss her…
and he didn’t attempt to kiss her…
