Math, Tash and Tarsh: Boland reveals Wake Up lineup: ‘I was creatively bored at Sunrise’

I’m bored already……..

So no New Zealanders on a 457 visa?

Belling seems a strange choice. A notable newsreader I wouldn’t have thought she had the pizzazz required for breakfast TV. But hey, I might be wrong…

I like it – nice idea.

Good luck to them. I think Natarsha Belling could quite possibly shine with a looser format like this.

What do Sunrise and Today get audience wise? Is it about 250,000 each per morning? And then again I reckon it’s pretty ‘dip in and out’ stuff as most people race out the door for work or take kids to school. That means half-a-million Australians MAX watch breakfast TV. I don’t think this is going to increase the market, more cannibalise from the other two. It’s failed before for Ten because I’m just not sure the audience is there really…

What about Ita?

Queenscliff Surf Club? Wasn’t Bondi Italian available?

There’s something about Exelby, I reckon he’s onto to something there.
I hope they do well, it needs a shake up. Easy to lay the boot in, but instead I’ll reserve judgement and wish them well.
Wonderland looks good.

Im ready for something fresh and new. Something that appeals to a younger audience. Its the same reason why The Project is an important current affairs show as it is completely different to ACA and TT. Well done Adam. I’ll be watching.

James Mathison just doesn’t seem like a morning person… He’s got those late night eyes.

If it’s good enough, the audience will come……there’s little to attract them at the moment

I wonder if Tom Waterhouse will give you odds on this going past 52 weeks…. or rating 100,000 for 3 consecutive periods?

It strikes me that they are targeting a younger crowd but perhaps ignored the fact that, unlike The Project, their target audience might not even be interested in breakfast television, which is traditionally the domain of retirees and stay-at-home parents.

James Mathison might not have the appeal for a broader demographic beyond the Gen Y types. I find him difficult to warm to, and I’m Gen Y too. Good luck to them, but I’m not confident they will get a big enough slice of the breakfast pie.

None of the presenters make me want to jump out of bed. Why is everyone forgetting about the ABC in the morning Michael, Virginia and occasionally Beverly, the sports guy is also very good they are the best morning team, they click together and are all natural .Sunrise and Today make my skin crawl watching them make me want to go to work ………
I think it would be very hard to get show stopping hosts who wants to get out of bed at 4.30 am and going down to Manly beach to talk about what is on social media.

How ironic that social media is denigrating a show that hasn’t even premiered BECAUSE it dares to include a social media as an important element. Im willing to wait until the show premieres before making a negative comment. The calibre of the people behind the scenes is what will make this show stand out from previous attempts.

zzzzzzz…but I guess something different is something at least…really over Karl and Kochie

“Creatively bored” if 300,000 plus viewers tuning in to seven every morning is a sign of being creatively bored we should expect more than 400,000 viewers for this morning of creative content and programming from Boland waving his creative wand at TEN.
I don’t think so. The audience of 55 plus loves the creativity Seven and nine put to air every morning. Anyway at least we are engaging Aussie talent. Good luck.

A breakfast show aimed at young people? Nine did it years ago – it was called The Midday Show. “Good Morning Australia for the unemployed” as Garry Who called it.

When Sunrise started, a hell of lot of people in the media called it a joke.

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.”

Finally a morning show that I can watch. The other two shows are the same old thing every morning. And the ABC is just a stage for the Labor party to push all the lies.
And David pushing AFL side port or the labor party.
