The big event performances always used to be live and the stars were always happy to show up at 7am and do their thing. Remember the last time Katy Perry was on and they got bumper ratings for the big concert at the Opera House?
I donât mind having a few pre-recorded performances where there are scheduling conflicts (or security/logistical issues) but I think they should be upfront about it and say âNiall couldnât be here this morning because he had xyz so he popped in over the weekend and we had a chatâ or whatever. People are either going to sit and watch the performance or not, theyâre not going to suddenly say âoh well this performance isnât live so Iâm going to watch Today insteadâ.
Did they? I seem to recall that none of these special concerts do much better than regular eps.
October 2013 - Sunrise had its biggest audience of the year with a Katy Perry concert live from the outdoor stage at the Sydney Opera House with an average audience of 484,000.
Well nearly 200,000 less watch it yesterday
I agree with you but at the same time she is a hell of a lot bigger than the demands of an Australian morning show. In the past she was probably able to do the concerts due to $$ that sunrise pay, as well as her scehdule. Sometimes it just doesnât work out.
Is that the cash cow at todayâs Ekka launch? Perhaps a close relative.
Angela Cox is presenting Entertainment news this morning.Nelson presented Monday -Thursday this week.
Really donât understand why she left Weekend Sunrise?
If they wanted Sally Bowrey to do news, Ange couldâve done the entertainment.
But really she was replacing Talitha in the first place not Sally. Sally was on entertainment before going on leave.
Sam disappeared towards the end this morning. Nat hosted the last segment. But they had a pre-record closer (well it looked it was) with the team at the desk. No interaction like they usually do with Larry and Ang at the end either
Must have been on her way to holiday on James Packers Yacht also
Why has Angela Cox still not left to go on holidays yet? After all that was why she left Weekend Sunrise a few weeks ago or was it only an excuse to allow Sally Bowrey back into the news role.
Technically, it appears, Ange was filling-in for Sally who was filling-in for Talitha.
I would say it would be the latter. Her contract likely would have finished.
Despite Sally returning l still think we will see Angela back on Weekend Sunrise filling in whenever Monique is away.
I would much prefer it if Ange stayed on news and that Sally returned to entertainment.
Whilst she was freelancing, I still miss Talitha Cummins on Seven and I hope she finds a good media outlet which will take her .
How was Sally filling in for Talitha? They were on together werenât they?
Ryan Phelan co-hosting with Monique this weekend.
Matt Doran is co-hosting Weekend Sunrise this weekend.
Yes they were both on together and Ange was co-hosting with Andrew. Monique returned from maternity, then Talitha went on ML first and Sally read the news for a few months. Then Ange returned to read the news when Sally went on maternity leave.

[/quote] What a great surprise. Really hoping he does well this weekend, and great that he is being given this opportunity.
Really hope that heâll fill-in a bit more often. He is 10x better than AOK.
