Watchdog has his day

There are three reasons why 7.30 Report failed with the new hosts and format:
  1. The background colours are too strong and bold - very distracting. They are in fact confronting and "angry" colours.
  2. The hosts' voice lacks maturity - not deep enough. A serious program requires serious voice.
  3. There isn't a need for two hosts unless this is a show that requires a side-kick.

I used to watch 7.30 Report when Kerry O'Brian was hosting the program, and commented very often on the 7.30 Report website. I seldom watch the program now.

I love to see George Negus host the 7.30 Report. The rating will soar!
