Beyonce fans are fuming with the Today show after it failed to deliver on a promised “massive announcement.”
Today had been teasing fans an announcement would be dropped today.
In the end viewers saw Richard Wilkins in LA at a Beyonce concert saying “Word is we are going to see the Formation World Tour in Australia. There are no dates just yet, but we are standing by for that announcement.”
"You went all the way to LA, just to watch a @Beyonce concert?" Yes @karlstefanovic. #9Today https://t.co/2OmrG6bCAm

This comes despite the Today show promising fans as early as this morning that it had “must-see” news, and big teasers last week.

So did a tour announcement fall through? Breakfast TV shows sometimes get to make tour announcements, or their own concert specials through deals with record companies and promoters. If it did fall through it was very last minute.
Or the Today show is guilty of a massive over-hype.

Channel 9 will do anything to get ratings
I wa forced to warpath today for two days because of this so called big announcement because my daughter wanted to know is she coming to Australia and then the big let down . What were they thinking I think Richard Wilkins has the Kyle and Jackie O gift of the bull gab . Big noting himself then was just one big let down like Kyle who reckons he has friends in Hollywood but the reality is they only speak to him becuase he pays them forty grand to talk to him on his show..Gone back to sunrise thank goodness.
Love this!
False advertising is likely. Perhaps the government could take action on misleading announcements….
A case of ‘click bait’ for television.
I was very salty over this. They literally hyped up an announcement to announce nothing. And all we saw was camera footage from a phone, not even a second of some official footage to promo the tour.
