Everybody loves a list, but they are risky to publish for fear of putting noses out of joint.
Following headlines about salaries this week the Sunday Telegraph publishes 25 names in a TV Power List.
There’s no specific criteria outlined here, other than alluding to “most bankable, most popular, most influential stars on Australian TV.”
Here are the names:
- Eddie McGuire
- Hamish Blake
- Lisa Wilkinson
- Rebecca Gibney
- Scott Cam
- Julia Morris
- Amanda Keller
- Karl Stefanovic
- Andy Lee
- Carrie Bickmore
- David Koch
- Delta Goodrem
- Samantha Armytage
- Rodger Corser
- Sonia Kruger
- Andrew O’Keefe
- Leigh Sales
- Richard Roxburgh
- Dave Hughes
- Grant Denyer
- Waleed Aly
- Peter Helliar
- Magda Szubanski
- Shaun Micallef
- Marta Dusseldorp
Now, over to you. Who did they overlook?

Lisa and Karl coming in ahead of the number 1 breaky hosts? How does that work ? I’m ok with Eddie, Rebecca and Julia though.
No Rob Sitch?
Are they in any particular order? ie. is Eddie McGuire the most popular? If so I’d like to see Shaun Micallef higher up the list.
No Jessica Marais? Fronts two prime time dramas on two different networks and a Gold Logie nom this year.
Sad that KAK isn’t on the list.
How on Earth could any TV indluence/popularity/”bankable” list leave out Bruce McAvaney? What were they smoking?
Not so much overlooked but you have to question some of the choices, David Koch above the likes of Leigh Sales, Waleed Aly, Shaun Micallef, and Magda Szubanski. Hell I’d put Grant Denyer above David Koch.
Sophie Monk
Put a Manu Feildel or Pete Evans before Richard Roxburgh, i had to google to see who he was. To be fair i knew once i saw him but surely being a household name is one of the criteria too.
I have no idea who or what a Manu or a pete does but at least Richard Roxburgh is an actor and not a commercial flash in the pan!
The Cash Cow
Humpry B Bear !!!
They definitely missed B1 and B2 🙂
Peter Overton??
Some of these names they’ve put in are a stretch, surely Larry Emdur would be ahead of most of the last quarter of that list, I’d also have Kylie Gillies in with him.
