Agree it is a surprise obviously Beretts regular fill in Ryan Phelan wasn’t available this morning.
With Alex’s prior experience presenting sport no surprise he is doing so well this morning.

Sam said Beretts had been admitted to hospital last night and Alex was last minute. Given his years presenting sport on Sydney news, Alex was great on the sports desk.

Do we know if the Weekend Sunrise team will be presenting from outside the MCG tomorrow as well? They really should do for grand final morning, I hope I don’t see them couped up back in the studio tomorrow morning when they should be amongst all the grand final excitement.
Also it might be worth mentioning that apparently for next week only in addition to the $10 000 the Cash Cow gives away daily, all the people who win the Cash Cow draw each day next week will be in the running to win a new car, a Hyundai Kona and these five people will be flown for Sydney for the draw. They say it is to celebrate the release of the new car…

They have in the past broadcast from Melbourne on Grand Final Day.
It’s only at the MCG this year as Federation Square is getting works done

I actually liked it better right outside the MCG this morning; it really captured the feeling of the Grand Final fever being right outside the great sporting colosseum rather than slightly away from it all in Federation Square. I didn’t even know if I would like it but I am actually hoping they continue to broadcast from here in the future on Grand Final Eve

Totally agree it much better outside the MCG,hopefully they broadcast from there in the future instead of Federation Square.

See:
and previously posted:
Nine has historically been the only network to makes claims based on weeks won, usually for news, ACA and breakfast TV.
It isn’t really an official measure as OzTAM sticks to “average audience” i.e., how many people are watching, so you need to wait until the end of the year to work out the winner. Theoretically Today’s average audience could improve for the rest of the survey and they could overtake Sunrise. After last week Sunrise leads by 8,000 viewers.

If you include the two weeks of Olympics that included IMO some dodgy coding of Olympic events as Sunrise (see below) - Sunrise had 4,000 more viewers than Today on average. If the Olympics are excluded (which is common practice, and practised by Seven for the London Olympics on Nine) Today had 4,000 more than Sunrise!
Rating of 650,000 for Sunrise was actually Boomers and the USA basketball game.
