100% agree. Whenever Kochie moves on they have some very solid options to take sunrise into the future. Matt being one of them, Mike Amor being another in my opinion.

If true, Sunrise will either have to let Andrew OāKeefe to do one show with Sam, in addition to WS, or replace AOK with someone else (Matt Doran) on WS and get him to co-host Friday-Sunday.
I donāt think it will work if they have Kochie 4 days, Matt 1 day and Andrew 2 days. Too many changes and becomes sort of point less.

Bizarre rumour?
Given the amount of money Kochie would be earning.
Is a weekend not enough? Get him to stop some other commitments then (e.g.) Business Builders, etc. I would think Sunrise should be his and has for a long time been a priority?
And footy season has finished, less load for quite a while now, in terms of his Port Adelaide FC chairman position.

I think its a perfect way for him to transition to retirement, and give him more free time. The man has many income sources, and no doubt he has done about all he can with Sunrise, I think they should even look at moving him to Weekend Sunrise. I also would be surprised if this was initiated, if not fully supported by 7.

Money does not equal happiness
-
the other projects heās involved in heās probably involved in because heās passionate about them as well, why would he want to give them up?
-
Heās not as young as he used to be. Itās no surprise he is choosing to scale back the commitments of live television 5 mornings a week.

Being the AFL head you are, I would have thought youād realise thereās another season next year to plan for.

Last Friday Seven announced at its upfronts that it had commissioned small business program The Mentor with Mark Bouris. Perhaps it will replace Business Builders?

I wasnāt saying the article wasnāt true, just that itās strange.
Itād be weird after all these years having Kochie 4 days, then another. Who knows if Andrew can do 3 days, with his Chase commitments.

On Fridays they could always do it as just the three remaining hosts, Mark, Sam and Nat hosting. Doesnāt disrupt it too much.

I doubt that, The Mentor seems to be comissioned as a reality series for primetime where Business Builders is a midday weekend show.

So after two weeks pretty much, indicative of Lisa Wilkinson departure? Or hard to say? Or on par with majority of weeks this year?
