Why would you go with Jayne over Belinda? Belinda at least brings a bit of life and interest to the show.

Yeah I have to agree. I like Jayne but I also don’t get the hate for Belinda. She’s done a great job keeping the ship afloat despite being part of the ever-rotating lineup at Weekend Today.

If he does get the job then that is a lot of work for him. He is working basically 7 days a week currently, and adding Weekend Today means he will be doing early morning-evening shifts 5 days a week, as well as having to do 4 flights a week. Busy indeed.

Or he just steps back from his roles in Melbourne? Pretty simple…

Basil Zempilas circa 2018-2019 says hi.

Okay to be fair. Jayne has been on the weekend team since 2016 I believe. I guess it’s time for a promotion of her in that co-host seat. For Clint, idk that could be a huge loss from KIIS in Melbourne unless he goes to the Sydney studios at KIIS and work from there.

If I remember correctly, he didn’t present sport on Seven News Perth on Friday nights, while he also called some AFL games that were being played in Sydney that weekend as well.

A desire to spend more time with family was what prompted Zempilas to step down as Weekend Sunrise host in October 2019.

I prefer the yellow and white for Today itself.

On another note I like the yellow and blue for Today Extra itself.

Brooke co-hosted the first part of today’s show with Karl, who said Sarah was “preparing for a big interview” related to the start of the AFL season.

Sarah returned to the desk at 6.20am but would not elaborate on the secret interview.

Nice to see TODAY actually putting some more effort into the AFL themed stories now, was quite NRL heavy in previous years.

Has nothing to do with Today, but with Alex specifically.
I didn’t know he did a stint filling on Sunrise doing the weather. This is dated December 29 2011, which would’ve been after he joined Sunday Night.
I know he did fill in on sport back in 2017, and did host The Daily Edition a few times.

Nat and Andrew O’Keefe seem to be hosting (even though you can’t see them).
