Even if it follows a similar design language, all screens and no real windows will be a significant change visually.
Also the current set isn’t exactly world-leading so they’d be stupid to keep too much when they have an opportunity to move forward.
I’m hoping they’ll have some big slabs of virtual windows - which could show exterior scenes during Sunrise/Morning Show and be switched to a newsroom scene for news bulletins (and even location graphics during special events/coverage).
• Matt Shirvington will be announced as Kochie’s replacement tomorrow
• Kochie is a strong advocate of Shirvo, having taken the time to mentor him about breakfast television
• Kochie’s 2-year contract with Seven, signed at the end of 2022, had always planned for him to leave Sunrise around the middle of 2023
• June 9 departure date was worked out about a month ago
So here we go this week/tomorrow. Like huge kudos to Kochie right there. Being on Brekkie TV for 21 years. Probably people will remember him as a household name
The Shirvo thing is so interesting. Shirvo and Nat for breakfast is so interesting. Kochie leaving is so interesting. The move out of Martin Place is so interesting.
Lots of interesting times to come in breakfast tv land.
@yellow_sock Fair point right there. They have witness it all in that studio/building. But it’s a shame the crowd won’t have a experience anymore at Martin Place.
I think they could announce it in the 8:00am block - possibly after the weather update at the top of the hour. This is in the same manner that Kochie announced his departure at that point of the bulletin last Monday.
