For now, the job will be part-time, presenting weekly segments from Gold Coast events, but speaking to The Sunday Mail, she said she was keen to see where it leads and promised viewers they would get to see “the real Sally Pearson”.
Pearson said she “cried my eyes out”after Channel 7’s Gold Coast news service was axed, but was determined not to give up on her new career.
Sunrise had the Queensland Premier on this morning (he was on Today on Saturday). Not sure the interview needed as much promotion across the morning as it got
I very rarely watch Sunrise these days, but anytime I do catch it, Shirvo is really off putting. I cant put my finger on what it is, but hes hard to watch. Even in small doses.
I also think the transition from Mel to Sam was seamless because Sam was such an integral part of the weekday show as primary fill in for Mel and Nat.
Shirvo is getting better but up until he was named I was convinced that Matt Doran was Kochie’s heir apparent. He’s only started filling in for Kochie on Fridays shortly before getting the permanent gig and after the Adele-Doran fallout. Viewers didn’t necessarily have the same years-long intro to Shirvo so he almost feels somewhat random as Kochie’s replacement over the alternatives.
At least until the polls drop and then they turn on him. 
That’s how it works in populist media now.
