That’s an interesting take. I hadn’t considered that.
I don’t think it was a random OB. It was the top story on all the breakfast shows in anticipation for the biggest TV event of the year.
It was rare for Sunrise not to have the whole team at the OB and especially to leave Eddy in studio. I can’t recall the last time that happened. It’s usually Today that splits their team up. Even the musical performance wasn’t on location. If it felt ‘disjointed’, I’d say that’s why.
18/8/2023 Monique Wright is co-hosting with Shirvo today.
A very interesting interview. A lot covered with many insights.
I agree too, but… Weekend teams.
What’s their chemistry like? 
The musical performance would’ve been organised for the studio ages ago probably, while the OB would’ve been planned last minute.
This is a really good chat. I’m enjoying it a lot.
Glad to hear a lot of people are enjoying the podcast. As soon as I started listening to it I knew the MS community would find it more interesting than the average Joe!
Great. Shirvo has great chemistry with Nat, Mon and Eddy.
Someone dropped the camera for the opening this morning plus no Matiltas decorations today and the team in black 
Aren’t they in navy?

Bianca Stone one of the reporters in Brisbane this morning.
So there wasn’t any extra coverage from the studio? They just overlayed the Sunrise graphics for what would have been a normal 7 sport feed?
They came back to Monique and Matt just before 11.30 for closing comments.
Font looks larger on the supers today.
No change in size of text but the whole main block has been moved closer to the bottom of the screen with slightly less height to be overall less intrusive.
Monday (L) Tuesday (R)
The biggest change is the increased size of the boxed vision. So overall less graphics clutter with a lessened footprint. Looks much better.
No change in headlines and other graphics
Supers have definitely shrunk in size. Looks much better.
