South Aussie with Cosi to switch from Nine to Seven

South Australian travel show South Aussie with Cosi is switching to Seven after a decade on Nine.

Hosted by Andrew “Cosi” Costello, the self-funded show was reportedly offered “astronomical” opportunities at Seven including production funding.

The show currently airs at 5:30pm Sundays, strategically leading into the important 6pm news, winning its local slot.

Seven Adelaide’s general manager, Andy Kay, told The Advertiser, Cosi had an ability to connect with audiences.

“He will also be working with us on some of our signature programs and we look forward to working together to develop ideas and program concepts.”

A Nine spokesman said, “We wish Cosi all the best and we will continue to work with local talent and producers to broadcast programs that resonate with our audience.”

It will screen on Seven from 2022.
