he won’t go anywhere. he failed on FTA where ratings (not engement) matter. no one else would pay him what hes being paid at Sky

This has real vibes of the Murdochs attempting to fight a private battle publically.

Not sure much would be lost if Bolt was to disappear from our screens/newspapers

Frees him up for a return to Insiders! :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

he promised to move out of Melbourne at the height of the pandemic and only got as far as (public transport) Zone 2. Not even a long distance phone call to Melbourne :stuck_out_tongue:

Promises, promises Andrew! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

No different to all the lefties who publicly vowed to leave Australia after Morrison won the 2019 election.

Yes she’s such a good journalist, oh wait, she’s not a journalist! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I see she only thinks she is, just a Liberal Party stooge then. :grinning:

the word prestigious suddenly losing some of its gravitas based on that announcement

She worked for Tony Abbott. So if anything she’s overqualified to be a Sky News host. :laughing:

A possible rebranding in 2025 and the move to co locate with News limited newspapers in the same office would hopeufully bring many changes to Sky.

New name, new logo, new graphics, sets, working newsroom set - and more tie in to create a digital first / video first news room.

To me it’s never felt like News’ online news sources and Sky News have much integration.

Perhaps it was never intended to have any integration
