No. Except they change to Georgie, Tom & Deb. Stevie, Brooke and TJ are the same

I agree. And signing Hanson attempts to give her credibility, of which she has none.
and no one wakes up after 6
It seems we will have Tony presenting sport every morning while he is in Birmingham for the Ashes.

My Problem for Today & Today Extra is that why they canât share the same studio when they move to North Sydney Next year?
For Example, Sunrise & Morning Show plus the 7 6pm News share the same studio in Martin Place

I think the main reason is money, they almost have halved the amount of staff for Today extra compared to Today. So they probably want them to be in the smaller space.
I personally donât mind them being in a different studio, providing that the hand over is better.
E.g. David and Sonia in main Today studio for hand over and then hand over to news while they walk upstairs.
Sunrisesâ arrangement probably only occurs like that because they donât have the space in Martin place, If they did I think it would be a different scenario.

Yes love that idea! But Iâm just worried about the lighting. It better be good lighting on Studio C
Today needs a point of difference.
Could the show open up 5 minute windows every 30 minutes for local news branded
âToday In Sydneyâ etc
Could BNE, NNSW, SYD, MEL & ADL
With local news weather & traffic

Couldnât agree more. Theyâve already got Perth there, and the national team can do Sydneyâs.
Plus, as Iâve said before, a local news ticker would be a very good idea, like on NBC Today.

These newsrooms seem to go all day now anyway. If a smaller market like PER can be staffed from 5am, why canât Brisbane, Newcastle and Melbourne.
Something like
5.30am National News, Sport, Weather
5.30am Local News, Weather, Traffic
5.40am back to show

Yes but a 2-3 hour time difference warrants staff to be there at 5AM, when you are on the same time zone what justification (other than ratings lol) is there to spend money to fund a team for a local news insert?

Better product, point of difference, boost to 4pm & 6pm news, boost to news brand, more content for social media, better coverage of local issues, better links to community
Oh, and better ratings
When youâre #2 you have to try harder

they donât say hereâs the 9News Headlines with Tom. They just say hereâs the top stories
They say Tom so that Today gets at least one clip on Have You Been Paying Attention? every week.
Sunrise and Wake Up both tried local news windows to little effect. Plus the cost of staffing probably isnt worth it.
