Agree, I think Eddy is her best co-hosting. I suppose that, unless Nat or Sam return which I doubt, Monique will be co-hosting next week.

Michael Usher has just been a delight
[/quote] Whilst I do think Michael Usher, Chris Reason and Mike Amor have done a great job at co-hosting Sunrise in the last few months, I think that they should remain in the short term and unless a major change in the current format is made (perhaps like they did earlier this year), I can’t see them becoming a replacement to Kochie.
I still don’t like the white alcove/frame and it’s worse when it glows in pastel colours. It just looks like an 80s revival.
This is nothing compared to the awful graphics and banners which just make me switch over these days. They should adopt a “less is more” approach and watch viewers flock back.
Totally agree, the set to me looks to cluttered with to many elements and textures going on. And I know the show is more entertainment based now then it was years ago, but the set doesn’t look newsish.
Yeah I agree. In saying that though, the last week or two as I mentioned earlier, with the wide shots of the set look good! The end of today’s show had the set lit really well. I still hate the desk and the platform with the logo on it was good in theory but was executed poorly.
Overalll the lower thirds need a makeover. They are too solid, big and boxed in. They have gone with the whole “open set” look for the show and in my opinion the graphics should reflect it. At the moment the graphics don’t match the set at all.
Also, it’s been a year and still the new “seamless” plasma wall they have needs calibration as half of he screens have different contrast/saturation settings. I don’t know if this is because it was a cheap brand they used and are stuck with dogey monitors, or pure laziness… I’m assuming the latter.
Sunrise looks to be heading to an easy ratings victory for this week having won every day comfortably and being an average of 40,000 ahead for the week.
Have to agree. But like PJ Madden a month or so go, time will be on his side. Takes a while to settle into auto cue reading, especially on something like Sunrise.
It is shame though they couldn’t find someone stable to fill Talitha’s spot until she returns (well I hope she returns, is she still freelance casually employed by 7?).
Alex was Sydney sport presenter for 3 or 4 years,first on weekends then weeknights. During that period he presented occasional Morning News bulletins and was quite good.
