Agree that Michael Usher is a good host, with a calm approach and an air of authority about him. When David Koch leaves Sunrise (whenever that may be) I think he might be a good fit for that gig?
I like that idea of Michael replacing Kochie, though the chemistry fit with Nat Barr will be everything to clinch it. Perhaps a turn over summer sunrise for Michael or has he done that in the past?
Judging by the project and ten news ratings. Normal programming on Monday night would be a better solution. Thoughts?
But Ten flew Sandra Sully, Jen Keyte, Lisa W over to London and kept Angela Bishop there to cover the Queen’s death and funeral. Gotta get some return (however little) for being a part of a big event, bar the high cost.
On commercial free-to-air, Seven seemed to be proactive and had focus in the coverage of the Queen’s memorial services, events and transition to the new King. They seemed to be more dedicated in coverage than other commercial networks in Australia. I can see why the ratings went to Seven.
yeah, Seven seemed to be first onto it and viewers stayed with them.
Border Security and The Dog House in repeat mode on a Wednesday. Has Summer come early?
A fair question.
The project continues its ratings decline..i wonder if lisa’s recent bad press has had an impact? Iknow i no longer watch due to her.
Michael Usher is such a good host. I have often wondered if he left Nine or was he let go. Either way a great pick up by 7.
Wonder no more

Found it, thanks. He also works really well with Nat on Sunrise.
