I’d expect both of them to host out the next decade. Need some stability around that news and sports now

Clint is good but I think he is chasing Tony’s chair in Melbourne.

Sport body might need to grab from 7.

Ali is good but Alicia Loxley would be a better pairing with Karl

She rates too well in Melbourne. Is often 70-100k up on Mike Amor each weekend. They need her to take over from Hitch. TJ is not the answer!

@MBB Nine is withholding all information from being released until early tomorrow morning. Some outlets just jumped the gun.

They’ll probably release late this afternoon like they were forced to do in early January this year.

Dumped from Today? Yes.
Dumped from the network? No way.
He is a familiar and competent 6pm fill in anchor and sports reader. He also hosts The Footy Show on Sundays which rates very well.

Confirmed: NINE has announced Karl Stefanovic and Alison Langdon will host TODAY on Nine in 2020 in a move the network denied as ‘made up’ when I reported the news Exclusively for FocusMediaNews.com on November 1st.

Game on.

The report was my exclusive 8 days ago sources from within Nine.

Other reporters and commentators provided speculation.

Nine has the story.

I don’t get why Georgie has been removed immediately?

I was talking about his removal from Today.

With Georgie leaving Today immediately, it makes one wonder if she will return to the weekend hosting gig in favour of Deb? Perhaps Deb for News on Today.

Most of the articles are saying Georgie is off air now until 2020 and Georgie herself says it too.

She’ll be returning to Sydney News according to a few of the articles.

If Georgie is not returning to Sydney news, most probably Nine to revive Nightline and give it to her.

I’m guessing Georgie will return as weekend newsreader in Sydney and Deb back on weekends on Today next year.

“We are great mates but I don’t always agree with everything he says … and he knows that,” a confident Langdon said of her new “work husband”, adding “ **I can promise you we won’t be boring”

SMH has pulled back the story for launch later today or tomorrow morning due to bushfire coverage today. Don’t want to be seen as insensitive to that.
