It’s embarrassing that the biggest artists they could have play at the Coronation Concert were two American singers who are judges on a reality show. ---

I don’t think utilising a local state based presenters for national events is the right decision.Viewers outside of NSW barely know him. Seven opted to use national based presenters. Saw another comment on TVT this morning saying similar, that he was “awkward and clunky”, not the first time he’s been used either. Similer for mine with most of the local capital city male anchors around Australia, TBH. And yes the national identities such as from the breakfast shows, morning shows, public affairs and national bulletins seem to do better, coming across more natural and meshing with their partners. Ally might’ve worked again better with Karl, but I guess Nine are trying to distance her from that era now with ACA. Overton alone and the two together just didn’t work and they were lucky they had that Melbourne audience tune-in (helped by Seven’s AFL situation) or could’ve been even worse. Not helped either by that small studio/desk focus, let alone not travelling in the first place. And tend to agree with you and the TVT reader too. ---

Probably all Harry’s fault for (rightly or wrongly) portraying the Royals as racist. I read somewhere that may have influenced the decision by some artists to not perform. ---
