Don Burke is patching up a long rift with the Nine Network by shooting a yet-to-be-named special to air next month against former colleague Jamie Durie’s Australia’s Best Backyard.
Burke and his CTC programmes including Backyard Blitz was ceremoniously dumped by the Nine Network which claimed it had “exhausted” the genre. Durie then signed with Seven and went on to ratings glory with ABB, including defeating unscreened eps of BB by Nine.
Burke is to present a new programme looking at @a whole new environment, a whole new world and this show is about how we survive these new circumstances,” he said.
According to the Herald-Sun, Burke’s new show will be co-hosted by Scott Cam with Chris Brown and Giann Rooney. For Nine it would likely air 6:30pm Sundaysnext month.
