Today (2015-Sept 2020)

Very good interview with Ragless, the final paras the most interesting: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/todays-new-man-who-could-replace-karl-stefanovic-at-today/news-story/3351cd6b6d7e87e692d45335f32470fa

“I expect to turn 50, and still not know what I’m going to do for the rest of my life,” Ragless says.

“I could end up as a tour guide, or with the Country Fire Service, or something entirely new. I’ll go wherever my skill sets are best used.”

But what if Nine offered him a national presenting role? “It would have to sit with what I do for my family from a lifestyle perspective,” Ragless says carefully. “If it honoured the history I had in South Australia, and if it was fitting for the family and right for them, we would certainly consider it. But we’re not chasing it.”

Yep because the ratings are on fire!

Last Monday saw a gap of about 80000 and Sunrise slipped over the 300000 mark. The rest of the week, Today was behind by 60000+ with Sunrise in the top 20 on Friday.

The work experience kids are on the roster at Today.

Can’t spell Elizabeth Creasy’s name right on the supers and they have a full screen graphic with Libs 55/Lab 45 on Newspoll, which is arse about.

Thanks Steve!

Meanwhile you got to love No Idea’s attempt at a story this week about Cassandra apparently telling a security guard all about her ex husband, even going into the whole wore a suit for a whole year thing :laughing:

Karl always reminded me a bit of Graham Kennedy and I worried he would end up like him, with the way the media are out for him now, it could may well happen.

Whore did what now?

:open_mouth: You poor thing.

It was a massive disappointment… much like Karl’s wedding coverage.

Does anyone know if the NewsCorp journos over there were flown across by Karl himself? Some suggestion from within Nine that is the case.

Daily Telegraph reporting that Peter Stefanovic dumped from Weekend Today.

Unfortunately not:

That’s unfortunate. He is one of the main reasons I haven’t (and won’t) watch Weekend Today. So cringeworthy and overbearing like his brother.

More speculation.

Hope they are giving this new EP a say in how the show moves forward rather than forcing him to follow the same corporate strategy that has brought us to this point.
