I like this whole not worrying to much that there is a rival personality on your program (and yes I know Grant has history with Sunrise). It always baffles me that Aussie networks are so concerned about it when in the US and UK there are network personalities on talk shows all of the time. It really opens up the talent pool for light entertainment shows (not that Sunrise is light entertainment 
)

The ABC has lots of personalities from other networks: Mark Riley, Hamish MacDonald, Waleed Aly, Todd Sampson.

The ABC isn’t a commercial media organisation. I absolutely understand, from a business perspective, not letting your talent get exposure on other programs.
Unless it’s in the context of promotion of upcoming product your airing (i.e. Dannii Minogue on Studio 10 promoting Dance Boss or Lisa Wilkinson on Interview talking about her departure from 9) – why would a network risk handing higher ratings on a platter to rivals by supplying their onair talent and giving rivals a drawcard to tune in?
There are more important things in the world than ratings eg raising as much money as possible for a worthy cause. Denyer is promoting the fundraiser not his next project.
Different Sydney camera angle this morning using the 6PM city feed. Was due to both contributors being in Sydney, looked quite nice actually

Was good seeing Sam have a laughing fit this morning during the Cash Cow preview. Felt a bit like Sunrise of old.

Amazing to think that Sam moved across from Weekend Sunrise to replace Mel on the show 5 years ago this week. Time has flown!

You obviously don’t watch very often because Sam is very often in fits of laughter on the show.
Always great banter between the team on a daily basis.

No. I’m usually at work. But do record and watch parts of the show when I have spare time.
