:warning: Note: highly speculative!

Monday’s ratings for Today Extra were very good. One of its most competitive results of recent months. Just 10k behind TMS and winning Sydney and Brisbane. Also winning the key demos. Caveat that TMS was not a full presenting strength.

We have noted that Weekend Today got a boost when Tim was the anchor recently. Perhaps there is a common denominator.

Watch this space!

Well I didn’t know that.
I’m glad they picked DC and Sonia/Belinda/Sylvia.

Now THAT would have been interesting. They clearly wanted presenters with pre existing chemistry. Given Today Extra haven’t won a ratings year since it debuted (even MORNINGS), it seems the incorrect decision was made re hosts.

That’s a surprise as the schedule said Summer Series.

Is it because The Morning Show is back?

Odd to start the new show on a Friday. Why couldn’t they just start on Monday?

I know that Today was extended until 10am last week and this week (until yesterday), with the Australian Open coverage began at 10am. And the tennis had a later start today. But to advertise today’s show as a Summer Series, if it was a new episode (aka “season return”).

In addition it was on Sydney and Melbourne that got the whole show - cut short in Brisbane and adelaide and not shown on Perth.

Why does it matter? This seems like a very odd question to ask.

Because as mentioned above, it was cut short in Brisbane and Adelaide, and not aired at all in Perth. And the show hadnt aired in the last two weeks. A summer edition would have suited better today. And have the new episode air nation wide on Monday.

But what did it hurt having a current live show today? I don’t get the issue.

Noone knew it was on. Even @TV.Cynic didnt realise it was on, as it was coded as a summer series when Nine annoinced its scheduled a week (or 2?) ago. If they had advertised it as a new episode (series return), i wouldn’t have had an issue.

Unfortunately, all Nine have been advertising during the Australian Open is Married at First Sight, and randomly A Current Affair. Some attention towards Today Extra would have been nice too .
