That’s the problem when networks/programs invoke the ‘nuclear option’ (like Nine has done with Today) - if viewers don’t respond well to the changes, it can make the situation or problem/s they tried to fix even worse
It clear that they’ll give this new team time to bed in. The $64,000 question is if things don’t improve (or even get worse) in say six months time - how long will/can they hold their nerve before making changes?

Didn’t they announce he was signed to Studio 10 last week?
Fake news!

I didn’t hear any announcement… Where did you read this?
That story is only being reported by KIIS FM and it’s state equivalents. I don’t see him returning to TODAY and if he comes back then that’s basically showing that 9 has no faith in this new team.

They have Richard Wilkins, Brooke Boney and, to an extent, Sam Rubin. Does Today really need another entertainment reporter?
Won’t happen. Even though I like Reid, you have to remember that viewers preferred Sunrise’s Showbiz Editor Nelson Aspen because he didn’t shout at you in the morning.

Not sure how this is an exclusive- you can see the 7 News mic in the right-hand corner:
I understand that the 9 reporter likely spotted Howard and started the interview. Maybe first but exclusive isn’t the right word, IMO.
First on 9? 
Friday- Tony Jones is in the Sydney studio with the team

Ben Fordham joined today, for What’s Making News (they have been using two regulars for the segment of late):
Also, in the past few weeks, they have been projecting the weather maps on to the megawall. Makes sense given it is a permanent move.
