Will Lisa Wilkinson appear at TEN Upfronts?
More speculation on TEN's showcase to advertisers this week.

With TEN’s Upfronts due on Thursday speculation is gathering on what announcements are in store, particularly given the CBS ownership is still not a done deal.
There are rumours CBS Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Les Moonves may be in attendance, with The Australian speculating he could land via private jet on Wednesday night.
It also questions whether Lisa Wilkinson can front, suggesting she is still under contract to Nine.
Moonves’ attendance would certainly be a show of force to advertisers but with a current court case potentially not resolved for another 1-2 weeks it isn’t clear if that may prevent his appearance.
While Justice Black has described TEN’s annual event as “ambitious” given the state of play, hopefully even his honour will be a little bit excited by new announcements.

Take your pick…
Lisa Wilkinson will “shake up” Ramsay Street, or at least Steph Scully as “the Great Lizzo”, an annoying Gazoo-like creature that only Steph can see, subsequently driving Steph into a surprisingly fashionable straitjacket.
Or
Lisa Wilkinson turns out to be the lost long third Proudman sister (who happens to be “fiesty” and/or “brilliant” in a parentally approved career path) in the headline-generating new season of Offspring.
I hope TEN lets Lisa out.
Like when News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch flew-in to his old home Melbourne for the new AFL broadcast rights two years ago? That looked so bizarre.
