  1. Today need a total revamp.Over the years when Karl tries to be funny all the co hosts use to laugh at his silly antics. When Kochie told a bad joke Nat (the newsreader at the time)just sat there, nothing. That is the difference, Sunrise keeping it real.

  2. Do you want to stand around waiting on five minutes of commercials and promos to end before getting the news ticker? Do you want a program with 38 minutes of content and 22 minutes of commercials and promos, or do you want 58 minutes of content per hour?

  4. MasterChef continues to get pretty ordinary figures. I guess you can take so much of people cooking great food yet you as a viewer can’t taste it. Bringing back people who are not as big a stars as they or Ch.10 think they are doesn’t help either. MasterCef has had its day the trouble is 10 have got nothing to replace it.

  5. It’s seems to be and as proven a few years back it’s Karl with low ratings or nothing when it comes to ratings for Today. Karl doesn’t deliver ratings victory for Today with ratings slumping when Lisa left the desk but Nine seem scared to go through a few years of pain to give someone else a go to build a new audience towards beating Sunrise with someone new. Imagine Ben Fordham hosting Today, just a idea. $$$

  7. Karl not even trying to seem impartial in political interviews (sly comment just today that “labor failed economic test when in government” a decade ago) probably doesn’t help during an election campaign.
