So after they left the east coast at 10am AEDT, they stayed on air for another three hours in Perth?
Not too sure as I only tuned in for the last half hour, but I presume they wouldnât go live for another 3 hours just for one state.
But do you really? Or is that just a (misplaced) gut feeling of the EP? I mean, if TODAY had an inside weather guy for a year, what is to say they wouldnât be winning?
They quite possibly did as there was no Perth backdrop prior to 10am AEDT.
Every decision an EP makes is a mixture of gut and experience (and sometimes a bit of research). You might call it misplaced but the trend of having a roaming weather reporter continues to this day⌠for a reason.
All I can say is it didnât feel right having weather stuck inside⌠itâs why Bolo sporadically sent me on the road with Monique to do crosses on location.

If you capped that from Perth than yes, it would be an extended local edition for Perth as the east coast was finished at 11am AEDST.
No, the east coast version finished at 10am AEDT.

Whilst I didnât watch all of WS yesterday, I am pretty sure here in Queensland the EPG said 5am-10am so maybe Sunrise did an extra hour for QLD too. @TV.Cynic Correct me if I am wrong.
Sunday (22.01.17): Mark Riley is co-hosting again this morning with Eddy.
Weekend Sunrise thumped Weekend Today yesterday.

trumped? 
But unlike Today, Weekend Today relies on the Brisbane market (as Weekend Sunrise usually wins Melbourne) and from what Iâve seen, WT looses Brisbane without Stefanovic.

Love [Sunriseâs] use of their set this morning.
[/quote] Heaps of different set uses this weekend on Weekend Sunrise. Pell on holidays?
Poorly executed closer aired in Queensland today, I assume to save time for the tennis. However, from 9.54 until right on 10am ads played out:

Weekend Sunrise seemed to have one of the better breakfast TV results in recent memory. Very solid result.

Although Iâm probably in the minority, Iâd go as far as saying that WS deserves to win so much more than it currently does and definitely deserves.
to beat WT, throw things right at me now!

Fine it wasnât a blooper but if they planned to have the closer cut in on a mid-interview, miss half the closer and play 6 minutes of ads then they need a new director. None of that video was edited. That is how it went to air.

I agree with you. For me Weekend Sunrise has always been much better than Weekend Today which is rather boring in comparison.

Took me 3 watches to see what you were on about. To me it seems like the interview was ending with a light hearted comment so they cut awayâŚ
Yes it is pretty straight forward and a decent blooper to me. They cut the person off mid question in what they call a LIVE interview, cut back to studio with a new backdrop and two extra people who were mid sentence saying goodbye and a new backdrop. It would have been confusing to viewers. The clock even jumps 5 minutes!
