Wrong Nathan, Nathan Templeton hasn’t been seen for a while, it was Nathan Currie that recently got married and is on holidays
Would like to know what happened to Nathan Templeton. Was a familiar face and has vanished. Wonder if he left or let go?
Must be why 7 is slinging cash at Sunrise viewers again. They do it whenever the ratings get close
Sad to see that Gilbo didn’t rate better
Russell Gilbert a great comedian. Love Hey Hey. A 4 hour special on a show that was a blink and you missed it in the late 1990’s screams of desperate programming and in the scheme of what it was up against has been given the ratings it deserved. It’s summer programming at its best not ratings season.
Purely speculating, but sometimes networks buy A in order to also get B.
True.
Surely today may being helped by mafs effect . People turn their tv off on 9 and still on it when it turn on in morning … afl starting tonight may help sunrise
Still watch Sunrise but am flicking over to Today more. All the good reporters seem to be leaving Sunrise. Nathan Templeton was great and seemed to of vanished and Bianca Stone has left also. Sunrise seem to only employ female reporters now which is ok but needs to have more balance on its team.
Nathan Templeton got married and is on holidays. Sarah Abo has breathed new life in to Today. As they say though, a day is not a trend and if Today starts winning more often it will be a big problem for Seven.
