The Today show has a new co-host following the departure of Brooke Boney. She announced in March that she was quitting her job as a TV presenter to pursue a degree in the UK.
Today’s current Weekend Today co-host, Jayne Azzopardi, will take over as the show’s news anchor on weekdays.
Also, celebrity interviewer, Renée Bargh, will join the show’s breakfast program alongside Richard Wilkins.
Steven Burling, the director of Nine’s morning television division, announced the appointment of Azzopardi to the Today show’s news anchor position on Tuesday. He noted that she has a lot of experience covering politics and major events in Australia.
Bargh, who previously worked for Channel Nine, will be covering the entertainment segment of the show with Richard Wilkins.
She will be joining Today from her previous job as a correspondent for Extra in LA. “We’re very excited to have Renée and Jayne on board,” said Steven Burling.
In April last year, Azzopardi replaced Clint Stanaway as the Weekend Today co-host.
