Production whispers on Kerri-Anne

TV doyenne Kerri-Anne Kennerley is back in the media spotlight this week following production meetings to address her morning show’s format and the “short notice” given to management before taking this week off.

The moves come at a time when KAK is in contract negotiation with the Network.

A Nine source tells the Daily Telegraph, “There is no gun at her head nor any suggestion her contract won’t be renewed … just a determination to rework it and make (the show) better.”

Off air this week, KAK is replaced by Catriona Rowntree, with Amanda Keller and Jonesy to host on Friday.

But production meetings have said to have debated the idea of a co-host (how about John Stamos?), to tackle ratings winner The Morning Show. Next year TEN’s new Breakfast show could also give The Circle a bigger lead in.

While they’re at it, could they change that flat set behind her please? So very 1990s.

Kennerley told the newspaper: “My experience tells me there’s nothing I can say that will stop the (gossip) merry-go-round. I have been at pilates, played seven holes of golf and I’m having a massage at 5pm … I could just as happily keep doing the same.”

Kerri-Anne is certainly a small screen survivor. If anyone has survived such turmoil in the past it’s KAK.
