They say that every year, they’re not going to tell the audience he’s off for 6 weeks lol
Interesting that G will only get 4.
Since we’re now in mid-December, it’s pretty safe to assume that Karl Stefanovic has gone on holidays for the Summer and will return sometime in January.
Peter Overton didn’t announce that he was going on holidays after presenting his final Nine News Sydney for 2017 on November 30, yet there’s certainly no speculation about his future (neither should there be I might add, with the ratings success the bulletin he fronted has had this year) in the media!

Anyone else thinking Today will be getting a new set and graphics package in the new year? Perfect timing with Georgie starting and welcoming Allison to the weekend team. Hopefully some stability will also be brought to the show next year too.

God I hope so. They desperately need a new set. The current one is atrocious.

Does Today Perth News have a permanent weather presenter? I’ve seen some recent videos with Lisa Fernandez doing weather but other times they throw back to the main show as weather with Natalia Cooper starts.
Fingers crossed for a revamped set, graphics and format (the latter has already been confirmed). New EP would be nice too.
Lisa does do the local weather for Perth and Natalia does the national. Depending on the rundown, they will have both or one lots of weather.
Anyway, Lisa is working on breakfast radio, IIRC, next year so they will likely drop the local segment.

Great to see 3AW radio’s senior producer for Neil Mitchell & former long-time State Political Reporter Heidi Murphy, doing Weekend Today live-crosses for Melbourne.

Could Today go back to 6am starts next year? With 30 min news bulletin at 5.30 with Sylvia?
Today still starts at 5:30am…

You can tell that Chris Uhlmann is thinking “Why did I leave the ABC for this s***?!” in that short clip!

You can also tell just how much money Nine must have offered for him to even consider being a part of this garbage.

What the fuck is he even doing? Why are presenters being shown how to stab people?
This has to be one of the funniest on-air transformations of all time. From serious and respected journo handling politics at the ABC to breakfast telly at Nine.
