Brooke Boney, a news and entertainment reporter on the Today show, announced her resignation to pursue a Masters at Oxford University after the Olympics. Jayne Azzopardi, a seasoned journalist, will take over the news presenting role, and Renee Bargh, known for her entertainment reporting, will join the team. Boney expressed gratitude for her time on the show and hinted at a potential return to Channel Nine after her studies. The replacements were well-received by Nine's morning television director, Steven Burling, who highlighted Azzopardi's political coverage and Bargh's entertainment background. The transition marks a significant change in the show's lineup, with Azzopardi moving to weekdays and Bargh expanding her role alongside Richard Wilkins.
