Im a big fan of Matt but he seemed very serious this morning for Sunrise.

He was also employed by 2GB for many years doing a nighty finance program, co-hosted the 2GB breakfast program with Lucienne Joy for a while, and had his own program Your Money And Your Life on Ten and was at the time on Ten’s news.

I agree, the Chemistry was also lacking (only in that if you have seen him with Natarsha it’s hard for anything to match).

Sam thanked Matt in closer for the past few days. I have really enjoyed Matt being on the show.
So Kochie must be returning tomorrow morning.

After a win in week 38, Sunrise has now exceeded 20 weekly wins for the year including ties. Today has won 11 weeks which is closer than it was looking at the start of the survey. Sunrise is ahead on average audience watching as well.

Interesting.

I agree with the point of view that weeks won are not a valid measurement. You can imagine a scenario where one program (breakfast show or news bulletin) won 21 weeks by very narrow margins like 1-2,000 people while the other program was well ahead in the other weeks.

Agree it is a surprise obviously Beretts regular fill in Ryan Phelan wasn’t available this morning.
With Alex’s prior experience presenting sport no surprise he is doing so well this morning.

Sam said Beretts had been admitted to hospital last night and Alex was last minute. Given his years presenting sport on Sydney news, Alex was great on the sports desk.

Do we know if the Weekend Sunrise team will be presenting from outside the MCG tomorrow as well? They really should do for grand final morning, I hope I don’t see them couped up back in the studio tomorrow morning when they should be amongst all the grand final excitement.

Also it might be worth mentioning that apparently for next week only in addition to the $10 000 the Cash Cow gives away daily, all the people who win the Cash Cow draw each day next week will be in the running to win a new car, a Hyundai Kona and these five people will be flown for Sydney for the draw. They say it is to celebrate the release of the new car…
