AND THE LOGIES GO TO...

THE Gold Coast will today be announced as the new home of The Logies.

Channel 9 will confirm the 2018 awards ceremony will take place on the Coast when its Today show team broadcasts live from Sea World’s Dolphin Cove this morning.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will join TV Week editor Emma Nolan and Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate at Sea World to announce TV’s night of nights is coming to the Glitter Strip.

The 2018 Logies will be held at The Star Gold Coast, most likely in May.

The Broadbeach venue showed off its credentials as a live broadcast venue when it hosted Foxtel’s CMC Awards in March.

Today co-host Karl Stefanovic has threatened to boycott the Logies if they are not held in Melbourne.

In a rant on the Today show on Monday, Stefanovic called the Victorian Government’s decision to withdraw its $1 million a year funding for The Logies “disgusting”.

“This is a joke of giant proportions,” he said.

“This is disgusting and I will be boycotting the Logies until they’re back in Melbourne at Crown Casino.”

The Queensland Government has been in negotiations with Channel 9 and Bauer Media to steal the event from Victoria for the past two years

While The Logies have been held in Sydney on a handful of occasions, Melbourne has been the ceremony’s traditional home.
