She sounded good. Much better than Smith.

Tom is much better in the hosting role.
I’m enjoying the show this week. First time, in a long time.

Shane Crawford did an interview today, regarding the AFL games today. Any suggestion that he is (was) the (or even an) answer to Today’s woes is absurd. Very bland interview.
Also, glad they started to include Brett in the wideshots, after doing tight single-presenter shots for the first few hours. What’s the point of having the newsreader on location if they aren’t and seen to be involved in the discussion and OB?

I don’t recall anyone suggesting Shane would be the answer to Today’s woes.
Just the rumours he was joining the show.

Those grey on white graphics are really hard to read.

I wonder if this was co-operated by MGM, whom Nine still have a content supply deal with. Surely not a coincidence. And he got there awfully fast (a heads up maybe?)
In the same fashion as Academy Awards (licenced by Disney) who lock out other networks to be on the red carpet, etc except Nine, who have the rights.
I thought the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sold their own rights to Nine.
Nope, Disney.
NB/ Not part of their recent deal though, as they’ve now been airing it for some years.

Quite possibly. Wilkins gets a lot of those junkets himself though.
This would have all been in planning for months so I doubt he was caught by surprise.
