S09E11 SPOTLIGHT returns (for now); MICHAEL PELL pulls his payroll plug; and is this the untimely end of BLUEY?!

You almost could have predicted what we we going to talk about this week:

• Seven confirm that, despite the growing public displeasure with the behind the scenes shenanigans coming out as a part of the Lehrmann/Channel 10 defamation case, 7NEWS SPOTLIGHT will return this week...but they have not confirmed that executive producer MARK LLEWELLYN will maintain his role;
• Continuing with Seven, budget cuts are affecting programs and staffing...that means the end of the former EP of Sunrise MICHAEL PELL and his magical United States mystery tour that seemingly has offered nothing to the domestic business;
• Panic has set in for fans of the show, as BLUEY makers Ludo Studios remain tight-lipped about the future of everyone's favourite animated documentary about Blue and Red Heelers;
• Nine and Foxtel compete to grab a hold of TABCORP's streaming animal cruelty competition that also destroys human lives;
• All-around TV nice guy and Lego Masters Australia host HAMISH BLAKE conveniently lands a profile in Stellar magazine and talks about his reaction to Sonia Kruger's Gold Logie acceptance speech joke-that-wasn't-a-joke; and
• Kevin Perry delivers another exclusive, advising the airdate for the six episode run of JEOPARDY AUSTRALIA, hosted by Stephen Fry and buried on Saturday nights.

We round things out with the much-loved and highly-anticipated TV BINGEBOX segment (upmolks only).
