Not so subtle sledge at Today by Pell:

Valid point though.

I thought it would be:

@David

interesting if [the Today summer team] achieve higher ratings…

And that it would be the

@David

perfect opportunity to test for a complete revamp of [TODAY].

[David]

. I’m not following the point you’re trying to make?

Is this Leisa Roles? Former Ten journo for well over a decade, including former US Bureau Chief prior to Rahni Sadler?

Yes she was reporting for Weekend Sunrise over the weekend for coverage on the Queensland fires.

[Sully]

Probably a question I should already know the answer to by now, but do the correspondents generally not work weekends and if so, who are the regular weekend ones/fill-ins? (i.e.) case in point. For Sunrise and The Today Show.

@OnAir

Look at Sunrise’s succession planning,Sam Armytage got the job when Mel Doyle left but it could have easily been Natalie Barr or Kylie Gillies. If Koch was to leave, there’s Basil, AOK could easily come back into the fold, Larry Emdur as well someone like Mark Beretta.

Here is a one-on-one interview with Kylie Gillies and Mel B. It shows she would have been more than capable of replacing Mel and is under-utilised on The Morning Show (I am not suggesting a change now):

They have the continuing Karl soap opera to thank for that, Lisa Wilkinson for leaving and Hugh Marks for not trying harder to get her to stay. Sunrise wins by default.

[BJT2]

Still, they did a reasonable job throughout the year.

Sunrise wins by default.

Can’t we just acknowledge that Today has always been offering a crap product. The “continuing Karl Soap Opera” wasn’t there 8 years ago when they were still loosing.

[NewsWeary]

Who cares about eight years ago? Today has been competitive in recent years and now they’re not. Sunrise isn’t offering a superior product. They both do pretty much the same thing and neither really distinguish themselves with standout, groundbreaking content. Sunrise wins because the on air team is more familiar to the audience and aren’t constantly mired in controversy.

Or as some might say it, a slightly less trashier show (though there isn’t that much difference) compared to Today.

@NewsWeary

Sunrise isn’t offering a superior product.

They have slightly more engaging and relevant stories. One of their stand-outs is their ability to lure A-list guests too.

My point was that the Karls media attention is not the whole reason they are loosing (because it wasn’t there in the past) its a combination of various factors which have been mentioned above now…
