That is likely why those chose someone like Tom too; he has an ego to make up for all the boys club. Plus, I think Tom will be the only one to be on the desk all the time with Georgie and Deb.

She didn’t have to make notice of the age thing. Yes, we all saw it, we know they shouldn’t do it but just be happy for Deb and Georgie and let them be congratulated and celebrated. It wasn’t the platform or time to do what she did. ---

Don’t like that promo to be honest - it doesn’t make any attempt to give people who turned off from Today due to the Stevanovic soap opera or have never watched it a reason why they should return/sample the revamped program. There really needs to be a bigger hook than “Hey look, we got new presenters and we’re broadcasting from the Australian Open” ---

I don’t see anything wrong with Lisa’s comments. Stupid reporting won’t change unless it’s called out. And it certainly doesn’t detract from Deb’s moment in the sun. I know I’m able to walk and chew gum at the same time… I’m sure most readers/viewers can too ---

> [@RegionalTV](#): > > That logo doesn’t integrate with anything in that promo. It’s as though they’ve lost the master logo and just ripped it straight from Facebook. Bizarre. The logo I don’t get. Here is what I did in just over 30 minutes in MS Powerpoint, using the font used in the promo: ![TODAY%20mock%20endtag19](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/9/0/90e591cd0797138cdfa7900571ee02102345425c.jpeg) The hardest part was trying to hide their box-like logo. Surely, the aired one cannot be permanent. > [@Jeffmister](#): > > Don’t like that promo to be honest… There really needs to be a bigger hook than “Hey look, we got new presenters and we’re broadcasting from the Australian Open” I think it is a good promo but not to promote a new team. That is the type of promo that should be airing weekly. To me, it does not allude that the Georgie, Deb, Tom combo is permanent. > [@nztv](#): > > The comments on here on the new Today hosts vs Facebook comments… wow, there are some angry people! Despite a bit of criticism for the female line-up and the removal of hosts, I actually have not read a negative comment directly about Deb being the new host. Surely that is a good sign. ---

_first comment here on the Today Show news_ In terms of the seemingly rushed announcement for the Aus Open, rather than ratings being a sole focus, could it not just be for cross-promotion/sponsorship/good will/morale? I mean what better national event for Nine to get a brand new show to launch from. With the 2 weeks consecutive, the channel number will almost certainly be locked on “9” for the tennis matches, so it’ll most likely be on Today when you turn on the TV in the morning? ---

I thought something similar. Give the new team a bit of time to bed in before the official ratings period starts. Anyway, I’m mostly indifferent to Steinfort but thoroughly approve of GG and Deb Knight. Two class acts. I’ll be watching. ---
