After Cylone Larry Mission, Cosgrove to Become Sunrise Weatherman
After an excellent job coordinating relief events from Cyclone Larry, former Army Chief Peter Cosgrove is being considered as a replacement weatherman on channel 7’s Sunrise program. The move could see him on Dancing With Stars within a year.
Channel 7 said the recent spate of Category 5 Cyclones shows Australia is under attack, and someone of Cosgrove’s calibre is needed to show we as a nation are still in control. Cosgrove said he is used to pre-dawn missions.
Seven’s Sunrise viewers are still reeling from the inclusion of a news item during a broadcast last week. This upset the familiar cycle of lifestyle segments and self-congratulatory in-house promotions.
Channel 10 meanwhile, concerned that its own news bulletins are getting too high-brow, is considering limiting news content to five minutes during its “First at Five” news hour, which will be re-enacted as a musical by out of work session musicians.
The network has enjoyed success over recent weeks with a Tasmanian-only version of Big Brother, in which all the house-mates are related. On their new role-playing show “Thank God You’re Here” next week Kim Beazley is put in the unlikely situation of being Prime Minister for 4 minutes.

Kim Beazley, PM for 4 minutes, that'll be his longest term ever, he could make a mini-series out of that lot and call it something like 'The Meazley Minutes'.
