I don’t think that is entirely true. Adam Boland liked Georgie and Mark Beretta- they hosted Olympic Sunrise for him in 2000. What happened was that in early 2001, the network planned a breakfast show (probably a lot like today’s Sunrise) with Lisa Forrest and one of the Daddos, I think. So Boland’s Seven News Sunrise was going to be dumped and he was to be a segment producer for this new show. But, in the end, the network deemed it too expensive and stuck with the 90 minute bulletin. The only problem for Boland was that Berretta had moved back to Seven News Melbourne and Georgie Gardner was poached by National Nine News Sydney. That is how it became of Melissa Doyle and Chris Reason.
