Tim Gilbert to replace Ben Fordham on Today
Channel Nine presenter and commentator Tim Gilbert is to replace Ben Fordham as the sports presenter on the network’s breakfast program Today.
Fordham’s departure was first flagged in March with the network saying he would move to long form current affairs show 60 minutes.
In an email to staff executive producer Mark Calvert announced the change writing: “I’m delighted to announce that Tim Gillbert will be the Today Show’s next Sport Host.
I’m sure he’s a nice bloke but this will do nothing to help their ratings. And Ben Fordham on 60 Minutes?! Seriously?
