Today Extra graphics have been slightly altered, with the clock remaining post 9am.
Stevie was great and brought some light to a rather boring show, great addition. Him and Deb seem to have chemistry, the rest not so much.
Also, it was really good to have Karl and Lisa back today. You donât realise what youâve got til their gone.
Does Stevie present from the studio?
No, he was doing an OB last weekend and for his time on Today. I am sure occasionally, he will be in studio although five on that small desk is a little squishy.

Also itâs Alkimos - the literal edge of the metro area.
Why the fuck have nine driven an hour from their studios just for that!?

If it means that more people just in that community watch Nine over Seven News, then Nine will be happy.
Itâs funny how Sam Mac from Sunrise was at a primary school today and had quite a decent crowd from 7am
No one. Thatâs the point. Why would 9 bother going if you couldnât get a crowd? Get a sausage sizzle on or maybe free pancakes for new students to welcome in the year.
Yeah true I guess. Maybe they had a different location planned for the day and it fell through at the last minute - and quickly put this together

Fantastic interview with Lisa Wilkinson on 3AWâs Weekend Break with Grubby and Dee Dee (Luke Dennehy from the Herald Sun is also there) 
She just talked about 10 years on Today⌠About the Logies night where she had to decide "will I choose The Morning Show on Ch 7 or Today on Ch 9⌠About the awkward run-in with Larry Emdur that night⌠About how Melbourne was the first market when Lisa took over from Jessica Rowe, to start resonating in the ratings⌠About last years ratings fiasco⌠About Womenâs footy⌠About politics⌠About KarlâŚ
NB/
I didnât realise that the Herald Sun & The Age that Logies day, had leaked the story about Lisa potentially defecting to Ch 9, she had a deadline to decide by both networks for that Monday.
No podcasts for this program sadly, because its too long

Glad she didnât choose The Morning Show.

She said âWhen Adam [Boland] asked me, I hesitated, because I wasnât in to infomercial shows, Iâm a news hound, I like breaking newsâ.
I agree 
Interestingly, she left Seven, when they started to ride the ratings wave. But good on Lisa, it took her (and Karl and the many teams over the years) many hard and stuggled years, to build Today to where it is now, even if it isnât winning the ratings outright or all the time, is as close as itâs ever been. Perhaps they can work on regional now?

In Brekky Central, Boland said that Lisa loved breakfast and doing one day on WS wasnât enough for her. She said that she had been on morning shows before.

[/quote] They need to work on their content and format, which is shocking ATM, IMO.

thats a shame. If anyone did happen to hear and and record it somehow would love to hear it.

Yes, sheâd previously been a co-host on Sevenâs The Morning Shift which also featured Jackie O and (IIRC) Duncan Armstrong.
(and another illustrious entry to Jackie Oâs television CV)
