Ally Langdon to ACA and Carrie with Karl on Today? Just throwing ideas out there.

Exactly. That’s 10’s problem isn’t it. Not enough news/current affairs output to offer her anything else. Unless they create something….

As we know people in TV don’t leave their jobs without another lined up.
I’d say this is more likely than Carrie going to ACA.

It is a big loss for the show as she is arguably their biggest talent and just listed in the top 10 TV personalities.
Hard to believe she would be leaving TV totally. She has been given a long goodbye though which isn’t always the case in the media.
Carrie would be great on Today, but she might not want to leave Melbourne, particularly if her son is finishing school in the next few years.
Frees up some funds to encourage Sarah Harris to stay at the network. Won’t be a good look if they lose two top, long standing female presenters around the same time. Wonder if Sarah would be interested in moving to Melbourne to host The Project? That, or move the show to Sydney and give it a good freshen up. Surely they need to offer her something more than Studio 10 to keep her around.

I can’t see Nine recruiting externally for ACA… they’ve always promoted from within the Nine stable to ACA.

Unless it’s a 7pm current affairs show for 7? Their upfronts are in two weeks. Home and Away needs to go. Maybe they finally agree?

I know nothing about the workings at The Project, but “spending more time with the family” I suspect means it isn’t entirely a voluntary exit.
But in any case, no matter the reason why, 13 years is an outstanding run on television so that’s a great achievement.

This is pretty big news. I would say Sarah needs to replace her, surely? If not surely the show is on its last legs?
I reckon we will see her pop up somewhere……. ACA from Melbourne… perfect slot for her?

Not ACA according to The Guardian.
She did not reveal what her plans are but sources say it will not be to take over from Tracy Grimshaw on Nine’s A Current Affair.

I would think Georgia Tunny would be a frontrunner

I think Ally all but has ACA, from what I have heard… which means there is either an opening at Today, or an opening at Today Extra if Sylvia moves to Today.

Agree… and I can’t see Sarah or Lisa moving to Melbourne.

This would mean that she needs to Move to Sydney though…. A big thing to do with young children and uprooting them from friends, school and family in Melbourne
Also don’t forget she has a radio show as well…
Sarah Harris would be a natural fit on the Project. And Carrie on Today with Karl would be a hoot… possible Sunrise beater.
Hopefully Wally will leave the project next.

Hate to say it but I hope not. Would really send the show in a bad direction.

If Carrie were to host ACA, I think she will have to cut back her hours on the Hit Network drive show, or leave the show entirely. The 6pm finish for Carrie and Tommy means she will have little time to prepare for ACA at 7pm.
