Nine’s NRL Footy Show to be axed after 25 years
October 02, 2018
The network had hoped to reinvent the iconic Thursday show when presenter Erin Molan took over this year from Paul “Fatty” Vautin, who hosted the show for the previous 24 years.
The Footy Show first went to air in 1994 and won the Logie award for most popular sports programme 11 times.
Molan is in current negotiations with Channel Nine over a new contract for other news hosting roles at the station.
Channel Nine is likely to keep its late night Monday show 100% Footy hosted by James Bracey and star panellist Phil Gould.
The Footy Show was run on a reduced budget this year and struggled for ratings every week.
Network star Andrew Johns was so disappointed that he quit the Footy Show mid-season.
Bracey took over from Molan when the host took six weeks off for the birth of her first child in July.
Nine is expected to confirm the death of the long running Footy Show in a statement later today.
The Footy Show was the launch pad for Vautin who became one of Nine’s major star’s during the show’s heyday. Vautin as host and Peter Sterling were the duo on which the show was built around.
