S01E17 Shock twist: Is Sarah Harris set to replace... Karl Stefanovic?




TV Blackbox & McKnight Tonight show

Summary: It was meant to be an episode focusing on the end of year ratings... and while we do cover that, the biggest story is a bombshell Molk drops during the middle of a news item regarding Sarah Harris. Even Rob had no idea about this one and you can hear a pin drop when Molk reveals his inside information! Plus, our penultimate podcast for the year takes a deep dive on the latest TV industry news sweeping around Australia and unearths some surprises, saucy secrets and a very ranty-thanks-to-end-of-year-ratings Molk. Each week a washed-up TV Producer (Rob McKnight), a TV writer and executive (Dan Bennett), an EMMY award winner (Jay Cagatay) & TV enthusiast and commentator (Steve Molk) take you behind the scenes, wade through the pr spin and launch into the reality that is the Australian television business. On this episode: • 10 ALL ACCESS launches in Australia to an underwhelming groan. • Shaun Menegola lands as Director of SEVEN NEWS MELBOURNE. • Is Georgie Gardner being replaced by Sarah Harris on THE TODAY SHOW?! • AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT got Seven. Again. • New look BONDI VET(s) heading to Nine in 2019. • Peter van Onselen joining 10 as Political Editor. • Molk's ratings mindsplosion - who won what and why it's all wrong! • We discuss the NINE/FAIRFAX merger ahead of the new company starting Monday 10 December.
