TODAY’S TELEVISION

SUNDAY, FEbRUARY

The Sunday Project WIN, 6.30pm

Now airing six days a week, The Project’s Sunday edition has been hyped, thanks to Channel Ten poaching veteran journalist Lisa Wilkinson from her role on Nine’s Today show. After 11 years of early-morning starts, Wilkinson has fit in perfectly with her co-presenters Hamish Macdonald, Tommy Little and Rachel Corbett in her new night-time venture. The Project’s mix of human stories, headlines and opinion mightn’t seem too far removed from Today’s lineup, but the absence of early-morning gags, gossipy innuendo and cheesy infomercials make The Project a more distinguished fit for Wilkinson.
