Crisafulli was also on Today this morning.
What’s with these full screens, prompting David Crisafulli?
I know they’re happy he won but seems a bit OTT.

He is Queensland’s saviour. 
At least until the polls drop and then they turn on him. 
That’s how it works in populist media now.
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 think I’d prefer Sam and Kochie era. They had great chemistry plus I grew up with them via show’s social media

I think it has been the case for a while now that the weekend team is stronger than the weekday team.
You’d have to be very careful though to mess with the a formula that is winning.
Matt is still relatively new to the role and i’m quite sure he will not be going anywhere any time soon.
Nat on the other hand… she’s been doing early mornings for 22+ years. She’d be entitled to give up the role whenever she chooses.
At that point, Mon gets the top job and sunrise becomes bubbly and chirpy again.

Makes for some good news, I guess? Someone winning 100 million is pretty significant, also helps that 7 air the lotto results 
Was also on Today this morning, Lara Vella did a brief story on it from the soft set area.

Sunrise reporter Katie Brown has revealed she needed urgent medical attention after suffering two bluebottle stings twice in a week.
Brown was stung twice in one week, on January 27 and February 3, at Freshwater beach in Sydney.

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.

So did anyone actually see the big announcement of the new Sunrise family member? Was it the fashion expert or Sally Pearson or someone else?
That’s a few times now that someone else has presented the Early News then Eddy is there for Sunrise at 5.30.

Rare standing opening to today’s show.
Later, a cross to a report from a hot air balloon and the PM during torrential rain in Townville.

With Matty Doran all but gone from Seven, I do think they’ve lost a good talent. Perhaps it was more on him (on the down low), knowing what we know now about his wife’s new posting overseas.
I always enjoyed his Crime Investigation Australia episodes, even if re-packaged from Foxtel’s original Steve Liebmann run some 20 years ago. Doran’s style and delivery was always spot on, convincing and clearly fitted the genre, one he’d work in and been passionate about since earlier Ten days in the late 2000s. Hopefully his return to the USA will see him continue down that crime path, as he’s already flagged.
Wonder if Seven will keep the eps on broadcast rotation, there’s quite a lot and a number of seasons and spin-offs. Also heavily featured on 7Plus. They could go back to the Foxtel masters if they have those and just use Liebmann’s.
