S09E09 New ABC Chair KIM WILLIAMS decrees; MARCIA, Marcia, Marcia; BROOKE BONEY(s) herself

Relax, fella. The ratings don't matter this week. Come over here and give me a cuddle.


It's a steaming fresh pile of stuff you may be interested in:

  • New ABC Chair and the one filling the biggest stillettos in the business Kim Williams fires a shot across the entire collective ABC staff's bow to ensure they know he means business when it comes to impartiality (no matter what The Australian thinks they can define "impartiality" as);
  • How can Channel 10 solo-CEO Beverley McGarvey axe the same show...twice...while shedding another 60 staff?;
  • Australian Idol "judge" Marcia Hines collapses at the second last hurdle and is rushed to hospital, but in a rapid turn of Easter-ish events is resurrected and returns to crown the new winner;
  • Rob has a chat with co-host of the new Nine show Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars Australia in Janine Allis and asks for an original King William Chocolate on the way out;
  • The high-profile resignation list fills out: Brooke Boney gives up The Today Show for England, and Bruce McWilliam gives up Seven for something more profitable; and
  • Rob uncovers the 'pee protocol' on The Price Is Right.


We back out the episode with another chock-full edition of our highly-lauded TV BINGEBOX segment (often copied, never matched). Get upmolking and downmolking with us.
