DAYTIME TV queen Kerri-Anne Kennerley laughed off suggestions she had signed on to Channel Ten’s rumoured return of Good Morning Australia, but said anything was on the cards.

She might be too busy playing golf, travelling the world and working on other TV shows these days, but Kennerley said she was not bound by a contract and was still a gun for hire.

“Thirty years of 5am starts, hmmm, let me think about that,” Kennerley told Confidential of the Channel Ten rumours.

“Look it’s sort of back to the future.

“All I know is there are clearly a few issues.”

The rumour mill went into overdrive this week with reports that Channel Ten was mulling over a return of Good Morning Australia, with Matt White and Kerri-Anne Kennerley as hosts, to replace floundering Wake Up,

Television blog TV Tonight reported that whispers were getting louder about GMA being in the early stages of revival.

WAKE UP SORRY FOR ABBOTT AMBUSH

While former Today Tonight anchor Matt White has moved to Channel Ten for its upcoming V8 coverage, Kennerley said she was still a free agent and not contracted to anyone.

“I’m working for a whole bunch of people,” she said.

“But I haven’t followed the meanderings of a lot of daytime TV with any note.

“Mainly because I’m too busy doing other stuff.

“I really have no idea where it’s come from or anything.

“I did 30 years, 1981 to 2011, and we had our huge successes and then things and times change.”

Good Morning Australia aired as a breakfast show on Channel Ten from 1981, with Kennerley there from the get go.

“I did 12 years and it was number one for 11 years,” she said.

“Channel Ten in those days was number one.

“The news was number one, Perfect Match was the lead in and that was a hugely rated program.

“It was number one all round.

“And right towards the end, when the Canadians bought Channel 10 and pulled the plug on everything, it all wound down. And that’s when they started putting The Simpsons on.

“It hasn’t been the same since and it is a shame.

“But its all swings and roundabouts.”

Following her stint at GMA Kennerley jumped ship to the Nine Network as host of Midday and later Kerri-Anne.

Bert Newton then took the helm on GMA, as a revived morning show from 1992 to 2005.

TEN WAKE UP AND SMELL THE RATINGS

In late 2011 Kennerley was unceremoniously boned by Channel Nine, saying she discovered she was to be replaced by Sonia Kruger from a journalist on her way to golf.

“I had no idea,” Kennerley said of the sacking.

“I was told at 10.40am a Saturday morning while I was driving to golf that Sonia Kruger was doing Mornings.

“Obviously they had forgotten to tell me. So that made me laugh.

“Actually, honestly, I’ve seen Jeff Browne (managing director of Nine Network) and Gyng (Nine CEO David Gyngell) since then.

“They’re big boys and get on with it. No big deal.”

A Channel Ten spokesperson said there were no plans to change their current format with Wake Up and Good Morning Australia.

“All rumours. No changes planned.”
