I am in agreement with “Think”. Apart from the telemarketing which seems to be “necessary” to pay for all three morning programs. Mornings with Kim and David did have the most informative and intelligent discussions to offer. And some fun with cooking segments. I was under the false impression, that the “break” was only due to olympics on channel 9.
Delighted to see Denise Drysdale back on deck, however, The Circle is not a patch on “Mornings” And parts of it have become “toilet” smutty talk. At this point I would rather watch a DVD or re-runs of Jeannie on the GO channel – to distract me while packing to move house.
Brenton’s Lunch with Kim is also a good idea. How about Dr Phil at 10am for a bit of competition?

I started to warm to The Circle (Aussie Grown)
Untill they started talking about nits in a cooking segment and Male Hairs on toilet seats and dicussing tampons with a male guest
As my mother would say “Gutter Talk”

I am going to switch over to KK

I’m really sorry to see 9am go. They actually seemed to have interviews and stories about things that mattered not just celebrity trash. David and Kim seemed to be very genuine people and worked well together. I understand David resigned…..but what has happened to Kim?

The replacement show, The Circle, has so far failed to capture my attention at all. So much so, that I decided to go online to find out what happened with 9am (and especially to Kim Watkins).
The Cirlce is another poor attempt to copy The View. But apart from the annoying Denise, who are these other women? And please tell me why I would want to listen to them, unable to looked relaxed and genuine. At least David & Kim always had that! Channel 9… Big mistake. Just get a damn show with no advertorials, and we will tune in by the bucket load. I would flick between the 3 channels most of the time, the one not currently on an advertorial, would get my time!!

what a shame. david and kim is finished. i actually enjoyed that show. when the infomercials came on, i did a bit of house work and came back when the show resumed. the hosts had a good chemistry, were funny and entertaining. The were genuine as opposed to the hosts of the new show.I tuned into the circle today. what an awful group of ingenuine shallow twits trying to outdo each other. I wont be wasting my time tuning in to this tripe. Denise Drysdale! yuck

9am is the most informative and educational morning show. Their interviews are indepth and the subjects and topics are insightful. Kim and David ask questions, of their often interesting guests, that are challenging and thought provoking. I feel that they do a wonderful job of getting the best out of their guests. They often have people on that range from the “average person to celebrity and professionals”.

They bring a an genuine humour, honesty and openness to their show, which can raise the awareness and educate their viewers. I am grateful for their sincerity in bringing issues to the public that are often trivialized by other morning show presenters. For example many different mental and physical disabilities and illness’ eg Depression, cancer. When “they” interview guests we find out who they are and how they deal with their illness’. indepth interviews of substance. Not trivia just to fill up space between the presenters fake smiles and infomercials. Like on KAK (where the presenter is so fake), is dumb as d_g sh_t and the Ch.7 fake plastic insincerity aimed at the western suburbs to gain ratings by pretending they care and are one of them. Which they obviously aren’t.

To lose 9am would be such a shame as their is no other program with their endearing qualities. Foibles and all. Real down to Earth People like you and me. Who want to save endangered species the Orangutans and their rain forests by bringing our awareness to the destruction caused by the use and farming of Palm Oil. And how it is carelessly put in to food as vegetable oil But bad for the heart. Don’t eat food like KFC if you care about the Orangutans. Rad the lables. Make informed choices.

I only watch the David and Kim show. They actually listen to the people they interview without cutting them off in mid sentence, unlike channel 7’s morning show who’s seems only interested in their own comments. Why bother doing
interviews. Also I feel David and Kim have a nice lay back approach and very
interesting quests. So sorry to see it go.

I really really hope that 9am continues. I love it and would be incredibly sad to see it go

They could just use Kim for newsreading duties as this is what she did on Nine. With those terrible ratings 9AM will surely be axed which is a shame because of all the shows in its timeslot it’s definitely the most informative with more interviews and intersting topics being discussed.

morning shows are over the top they are over aired, if they had a lifestlye show like the 10am project, they’d probably get more viewers. I am sick of watching paid advertising on these morning shows, it sickens me the lies the networks let these advertisers get away with.

Welcome to the “Middle of the Road”.

These two hacks have been given every chance under the sun, they have no spark, no chemistry, no genuine talent and no reason to front a TV screen. They are bland, the program is a monumental step backwards since Bert left the “GMA” project. A show that can make KAK look entertaining and modern is screaming to be put down!

Kochie irks people but he at least resonates, you either like him or you don’t. These two could disappear tomorrow and no one would even bat an eye lid. This show fell out of 1985 and no one bothered to wake up Watkins and Reyne and let them now we’ve hit the 21st Century.

I would love to meet a real life human being that finds these two enjoyable or interesting. Don’t get me wrong, Sunrise irritates people, Kochie and Mel rub people the wrong way… but again, at least they rub… these two look genuinely uncomfortable and bored.

Yuck. Watkins is a waste, from her forced presenting on Beyond Tomorrow to this, she’s well and truly run her course in this industry. As for Reyne, he expired many moons ago, both need to be taken out back and put to rest.

Utterly awkward and bland television.

It is not so much the hosts or the lead in programmes that remain the problem for Morning Shows.
The Thing is Night Job Workers,The Retired and Housewives aside who is ever home to watch them.Most of us between the ages of 13 and 70 are actually at school or work
