Very nice photo.

Personally I prefer the old way. They are the only show with a dedicated newsreader now, might as well use them. The idea is fine especially for rolling coverage, but it loses its novelty when you do it day-in-day out. Almost is a bit clunky.

I actually think I’d prefer more of it. A bit like NBC Today. Maybe the top couple of stories or the top of the big hours (7/8) with the hosts and then off to Eddy.

I like it from the perspective that we get Nat back reading the news (as much as I like her hosting, I also miss her reading the bulletins). I actually think Sunrise will slowly work towards your suggestion anyway… the way they did at the start of 2016.

I’m probably in the minority as I’m actually looking forward to seeing Kochie and Nat getting the jab on air.

If anything, it will give more confidence to the Sunrise viewers who are doubtful about the vaccine.

Anything that can help convince people to get vaccinated can only be a beneficial thing IMO

They’d want to do it on a Friday - I’ve had mine and was quite sick on day 2.

Only for one day but wouldn’t be ideal to be presenting.

Not everyone has the same side effects though, it’s the same with the Flu shot. So they may be fine.

it will be the pfizer

Absolutely, but it’s a pretty common side effect.

You wouldn’t want both your presenters off sick the next day.

That’s a lie. The promo caps above clearly show an Astra Zeneca box and vial.

Pricks on Sunrise… how is this new?

They’re both over 50 so yes that makes sense

Unfortunately for Today, if they wanted Karl and Ally to get the jab live on air it won’t happen for a while yet as they’re both under 50.

Sunrise will definitely be happy that both hosts can get the jab live on air. Imagine if Sam Armytage was still around, we’d only be seeing Kochie getting vaccinated whilst Sam was watching on!

They would still just do Kochie and Nat. Or Beretts.

Today could use Dickie or any other 9 reporter in the age category if they really wanted to.
