Today (2015-Sept 2020)

It’s a shame Karl couldn’t just start with a clean slate but all the media is focusing on now is Yasmine’s apparent pregnancy so it will never go away.

Lol this makes me laugh, is it because the current hosting team is working mate?
Do you even for a second think that if it wasn’t working for them that they won’t be doing the same thing?

Yeah, it’s no coincidence that the most successful, ratings topping breakfast shows (both in TV and radio) and news bulletins are those with the presenters that audiences have come to know and trust over the course of several years.

But at the same time, I think it was important to say how stable Sunrise has been while talking about the revolving door that is Today. Being a network which has relatively stable 6pm news presenting teams on the East Coast, you’d think Nine would remember some of the lessons from those (while simultaneously, not wrecking the flow of the news as they arguably have in Sydney) when establishing a team for Today.

Does anyone expect the promos will be out this week or early next week?

Promos might debut during Carols on Tuesday?

It was kind of fortuitous that Sunday Night was axed for Big Brother for him. He seems like a nice guy and from the country too so will probably/hopefully resonate with that folk.

I think their main issue is Pell always scoops them with any celebrity/entertainment event in Australia and they need an experienced producer/presenter with contacts and not from has beens from the 80s.

Only you would connect that one with the other. :rofl:

Well otherwise Tom would probably still be there.

I’ve seen 2 FB posts about the new lineup by media outlets in Brisbane and both are drawing LOTS of negative comments, particularly about the departure of Steve and Richard.

WA’s Tracy Vo’s ascension has meant a reshuffle to Nine’s local Perth news offering in 2020, with viewers waking up to popular presenter Michael Genovese on Today Perth from January 6, when he’ll present live and local bulletins at 6am, 6.30am, 7am, 7.30am and 8am.

They all put out the same sort of tweet at the same time. Hmm…

Some quotes from Darren Wick from the latest News Corp article:

Changes earlier this year were “too dramatic” and they “didn’t quite get it right”.

“Back to basics” format… “clearly defined lanes for everyone’s roles”… taking the “slow” approach… “these things often take time”.

Obviously. It’s called promotion.

Obviously. It looks stupid.

Thrilled to be joining the new look @thetodayshow team in 2020 :sunny:

After 5+ years with @9news it’ll be hard to hand over my little blue microphone cube & leave an incredible newsroom.

I’ve been so lucky to tell remarkable stories, meet fascinating people, travel to places I’ve never been & call myself a colleague of some seriously talented journalists, producers, camera & sound operators, editors, graphic artists & control room crews.

The new year will bring so many new adventures & I hope you come along for the ride #iwakeupwithtoday
