Oy vey!
I never said anything about Sunrise doing an OB, quite the opposite actually. I suggested it was better to not cover something than to cover it half-arsed (like they did). Don’t do weather from The Star, don’t do the red carpet interviews, don’t do packages with selective highlights. When their viewers see their coverage but still don’t know who won Gold (the most notorious), then they’re going to switch to someone who does tell them.
If you’re going to pretend nobody won the Gold Logie because it wasn’t a network talent, you’re better off pretending (forgetting) the event didn’t happen.
I love how there has been a debate about all this.
But as it’s been pointed out. Seven don’t care about the Logies anymore. They snubbed them years ago and they pretend they don’t really exist like they used to. Which is why sunrise doesn’t broadcast from them, there’s no real coverage of them.
I’m pretty sure a year or two after Pell took over they stopped doing an OB for them.

They were at the 2019 Logies (which were the last ones before this year). Not sure if they were nominated in anything that year? But perhaps because they weren’t nominated this year it wasn’t worth the effort to go this year?
I recall back in its heyday, the winner of Australian Idol would be the top story on Sunrise the day after the final. Didn’t matter then which network the show was on.

They haven’t regularly presented from the Logies for a long time. I would say around 2014/15 was the last OB they did from crown?
From memory they use to do Sunrise and The Morning Show live from Southbank, while Today was in the Crown Foyer.

They were there because Sam Mac was up for gold IIRC

Second time this week I’ve seen Nat read the 0730 news. I mean it’s great to have her back on news but it seems like a very odd format change for her to just do the single update. I’m unsure if it happened yesterday.
Friday (24.06.2022):
Matt Shirvington co-hosted with Nat. Sally Bowery read news.

It would be nice to see Matt Doran fill in for Kochie. Surely his time being kicked off the weekday show because of the Adele interview is well and truly over.
I liked Shirvo originally but I’m not so sure now.

Agreed. Doran is far better than Matt Shirvington on weekdays. At least he’s a journalist who can handle hard news well and he and Nat works well.
Shirvo is too lightweight for the weekday show. Might work better if he filled in on weekends instead.

Justin Smith and Suzanne Mostyn on NewsFeed again this morning.
Maybe Mon will be Kochie’s replacement, if she is due to return from her break this week. Mixing things up could be good. Or one week each for Mon, Matt and Matt.

Angela Mollard back on NewsFeed today with Joe Hildebrand.
News was late at 8.02 because Joe talks so much lol
Reinforces the need to give a few more minutes to the segment.

Next week’s promo is better, promoting several stories and guests.The biggest improvement is that Kochie and Nat recorded it together, as opposed to individually.
In recent weeks, they have dropped the endtag with the group shot in suburbia and reverted to the terrible one from the Eveleigh promo shoot. They also have new slogan ‘start with Sunrise’. I know it is supposed to mean start your day with Sunrise, but every time I hear it, I can’t help but think of viewers starting with Sunrise then switching to the others if they don’t like what’s on. Maybe the message needs some clarification.
Should be “your day starts with Sunrise” or “start your day with Sunrise”
