Makes no difference where the presenters come from.

Iāve been told everything has been settled upon and a weekend announcement to be made - not sure if in the Nine newspapers or whether the News Corp guys will get it. No matter who does, it will be ripped and rehashed by the Daily Fail.

Thank you for the update.
I appreciate you canāt say specifics, but are you aware of details? And if so, what are your thoughts?
Not aware. Just an update from a mate who is a long term employee that has never let me down.

It does. Thereās a perception that Today skews NRL heavy and people in VIC, Tas, SA, and WA couldnāt care less about league.

Exactly. Many people here (including myself sometimes) are so centred around the āSydney & surrounds bubbleā that they donāt realise that the rest of the country couldnāt care less about Sydney news unless itās of national/international significance.
Since Today is a national program which airs for 3.5 hours a day, the approach taken to the content, presenters & On-Air Presentation needs to be completely different to the 4pm/6pm news bulletins where you can get away with a bit more blatant localism (although even then, I still have concerns about the approach TCN often takes to coverage of news in Regional NSW for their bulletins - but thatās for another time/thread).
I have never heard that before.
Interesting timing given Brenton was/ is due to return to the news desk on Monday.

Hoping all the rumours are incorrect and we are surprised by the new line -up!

Where presenters originate from and a bias towards RL/Sydney focus are two different thingsā¦

Looks like Sam Burgess is taking the heat of Karl for while now. But they managed to somehow make an article which has nothing to do with him about him. 
First of all heās a footballer, nothing will happen to him. second of all media have immediately gone on the womanās side which seems to be a popular thing even though once again no one knows any details. People canāt divorce anymore without affecting their careers? Do the general public even care as much as the media telling us we do?
Is there a different style sponsor board being used for Today?
This one didnāt have the āPROUD SPONSORā and Nine logo, and was almost full screen, whooshing in from the right to left of screen.
Tim Gilbert hosting again today even though he hosted the evening session of the tennis last night.

As in until 11:30pm?
Yes and he did the sport on 9 News at 6pm
Wow. And I thought Deborah was a trooper!
Showing his commitment as nearly the last one standing/trying to keep his job?

Steve Jacobs will be presenting the weather on Weekend Today this weekend.
It will be interesting to see if there will be live crosses to Richard Wilkins in LA on Monday for the Golden Globes. Or if they will just use Sam Rubin.

Watching A Current Affair the past few weeks, I actually wouldnāt mind Leila McKinnon returning to Today in some capacity.
