Today Tonight host Anna Coren is rumoured to be leaving the Seven network at the end of the year after trialing with CNN’s Hong Kong headquarters last month.
Now Crikey reports that Sunrise co-host Melissa Doyle is unhappy with her current contract and may in fact be over Sunrise, so Seven maybe about to embark on a game of musical chairs.
Doyle may return to host Today Tonight if Coren were to leave meaning Sunrise would be on the look out for a new co-host, breaking up the successful “Mel and Kochie” formula that has come to represent Seven’s success over the last five years.
Current Sunrise newsreader Natalie Barr would be itching at the opportunity to anchor the early morning show. While other contenders might include former Nine personality Sharyn Ghidella, Samantha Armytage or Chris Bath.
Monique Wright may be a chance, Sonia Kruger wouldn’t look out of place but surely Seven wouldn’t give Jessica Rowe the gig she failed at on rival, Nine.
Kruger would be my choice. Not the obvious choice but her warmth and personality shines through on Dancing with the Stars and the stories she files for Today Tonight. Kruger has so far been under untilised in her television career and has the talent to provide a lot more.
Chris Bath would be Choice 2 but she has her eyes focused on Ian Ross’ job when he vacates the Sydney newsreaders chair but The Australian’s Mark Day last week wrote in Media and Marketing that a certain Nine employee who has just announced his retirement, will in the next few years have the “right amount of grey hair” to do exactly what Ross did when he joined Seven from retirement, a few years back.
Could Mike Munro end-up anchoring Seven News? Anything is possible… which would free up Bath to form a new Breakfast duo, “Kochie and Chris… which has a nice ring to it.
Sharyn Ghidella is Choice 3 and would also not look out place hosting breakfast television. Currently hosting the Weekend News in Brisbane and the news on Weekend Sunrise, Ghidella also use to read the news on Nine’s Today Show and has filled in as co-host on many occasions.
Assuming that Coren leaves Seven then the network may, like Nine be about to undertake their own shake-up of their Newsroom.
