That looks gross.
They did this before the 2016 relaunch.
Just some conservatives. 
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. The others (Brooke, Ross, Tony) will only appear for their respective segments.
I know they havenât had much time but surely you can do better than that. Why do they need to have a square around the logo? Just the wording and some lighting would have been fine.

Phew. Glad itâs not only NZ media who can make a story out of absolutely nothing!
That logo doesnât integrate with anything in that promo. Itâs as though theyâve lost the master logo and just ripped it straight from Facebook. Bizarre.

poor olâ âlook at me Wilkinsonâ - gets her daughter to make a smart-arse comment about the reporting of the female presentersâ ages, then pipes up and makes a mountain out of a molehill.

Agreed. She couldnât have just let Deborah have her time in the spotlight? Thereâs always an agenda with everything these days.

An agenda to call out sexism?
She didnât have to make notice of the age thing. Yes, we all saw it, we know they shouldnât do it but just be happy for Deb and Georgie and let them be congratulated and celebrated. It wasnât the platform or time to do what she did.

Donât like that promo to be honest - it doesnât 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 âHey look, we got new presenters and weâre broadcasting from the Australian Openâ

I donât see anything wrong with Lisaâs comments.
Stupid reporting wonât change unless itâs called out.
And it certainly doesnât detract from Debâs moment in the sun.
I know Iâm able to walk and chew gum at the same time⌠Iâm sure most readers/viewers can too

The logo I donât get. Here is what I did in just over 30 minutes in MS Powerpoint, using the font used in the promo:
The hardest part was trying to hide their box-like logo. Surely, the aired one cannot be permanent.
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.
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.

Sorry but thatâs not good. I prefer theirs.

Why would they use that? Deb doesnât even look like she wants to be there. Could have used the one of her in the blue suit smiling further down the page. its also blocking out the name of the show (brand)

Yeah Iâve been surprised how many people like Tim and are annoyed he got the sack too.
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 â9â for the tennis matches, so itâll 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, Iâm mostly indifferent to Steinfort but thoroughly approve of GG and Deb Knight. Two class acts. Iâll be watching.
