Sami Lukis heads south

You read it here first! On October 30, I blogged that Brisbane-based Sami Lukis was rumoured to be heading south with the Triple M network. Now it has been reported that Lukis will join Phil O'Neill (a.k.a. Ugly Phil) in a bid to revive the Sydney station's flagging fortunes. My understanding was that they'd be doing a networked night show, but it seems now that they'll be tackling the all-important breakfast gig that fell vacant when The Shebang imploded. The move presents a challenge for Triple M Brisbane's Ian Skippen and The Cage program, which has gained ratings recently and will face a threat next year from 4BC recruit (and former Skippen colleague) Jamie Dunn, and for Brisbane's Channel 9, which employed Lukis as its weather presenter.

Brett, I also think Frank Warrick just got told that he's sacked...
From same article
"Meanwhile Sami's departure from Brisbane will pave the way for reliable Nine weather understudy Joseph May to cover the round for the next three weeks, with a new full-time weather reporter to be announced within two weeks."
Besides after what happened at 7 on Sunday night ( http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/queensland/bnewsroom-floodedb/2008/... )... I won't put a witty remark to.
The Courier Mail have tipped
The Courier Mail have tipped Robyn Bailey or Emily Okeffe for Sami's spot on the cage. If no-talent Okeffe joins the cage, they will have lost a listener.
I can't see Robyn Bailey
Interesting - who will
Interesting - who will Triple M be looking at now as their "token chick"?
There's a job opportunity

Perhaps natalie Bochenski
Perhaps natalie Bochenski from 4BC could be the answer ?
Yeah, she's pretty token.
Yeah, she's pretty token. But untested in breakfast programming. ;)
Brett, after what happened
Brett, after what happened on Sunday night with the monster storm, I honestly think that all TV networks should drop jealousies aside and do a Queensland-only telethon next Saturday & Sunday for Brisbane storm relief. I wonder how much money could be raised by having all stations showing a united front, in the face of tragedy. Nine's Surf Safe Appeal can be moved to a alternate date if need be.
If you could put my idea to every station on the mountain, it would be appreciated.
It's a wonderful thought and
It's a wonderful thought and should happen.But the childish way channels 7 and 9 have gone about their respective business's in recent years,means only one thing...Don't hold your breath !
I'm surprised they
I'm surprised they haven't realised that the future of free-to-air television might just depend on them working together ...
