The Nine Network has announced Sylvia Jeffreys and Tom Steinfort as the permanent co-hosts for the Today Show, effective in 2027. This transition follows the departure of former hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, with Abo stating that motherhood has signaled a “new chapter” for her.

While the appointment is official, reports indicate the network may have contingency plans involving sports commentators Todd Woodbridge and Jelena Dokic, who have recently been given opportunities to test their potential in news and entertainment roles.
