I honestly don’t know why they keep getting him back on; he continually bags the MAFS show. Today’s interview on Extra is an example. I am surprised Nine PR haven’t stepped in.

They were in studio 22 today because of WWOS coverage in their normal studio.

They started a little different today. Instead of having Davina Smith read the news, Sonia and David crossed to three reporters situated across NSW for coverage of the Sydney storm.

Whilst The Morning Show do this every morning, Sonia and David are not journalists and my advice is to leave it to Davina.

Speaking of Davina, she sat on the LHS of the desk for the 9am news because of the standing presentation of the first story.

I’m guessing that they will start on Monday 28th Jan

Sorry

Any word if it will stay in the “shoebox” (as I like to call it) or whether it will move into the main Today studio?
I wonder if the during the Studio 22 upgrades whether or not it has become automated. If it has, then Today Extra should move back to Studio 22 (where the show is so much better) and Nine’s Morning News and Nine News Now will move to Studio 23. But with the move to North Sydney in the next year or two I doubt it.

For all we know, they might make this set update versitile such that ACA moves in here too.

And then the regional news moves into studio 23??

I would say it will be systems as usual- based in 23 and do occasional shows in 22. Can’t see them changing it because:

  1. Budget (no-camera crew, less lighting)
  2. They are comfortably in number 2, with a audience that grows in the 10am hour.

Studio 22 won’t become automated BTW. They are moving next year.

Nine News Sydney & Melbourne switched to automation close to a year before receiving their current sets, so I don’t see why the possibility of Today becoming automated before the move to North Sydney should be entirely ruled out.
