Editing Midday (Australian TV program) (section)

=== Tracy Grimshaw and David Reyne (1995) ===
Following the announcement of the program's axing at the end of 1994, it had been stated that the show would be replaced by a new talk program. After a six-month absence, a lower-budget hour-long program using the ''Midday'' title began.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.--> |title=Midday show back|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/128285536|work=The Canberra Times|date=5 July 1995|access-date=5 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rosenberg|first=Jen|date=17 July 1995|title=From the ashes to the set|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/128288070|work=The Canberra Times|access-date=5 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.--> |title=TV clock to Midday|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/128288138|work=The Canberra Times|date=18 July 1995|access-date=5 August 2021}}</ref> In its new form, the show had a more generic feel to it, with no live band and none of the loose "variety show" feeling of the program in its previous incarnation. After the network had considered a number of personalities for the hosting job including [[Larry Emdur]], [[Richard Wilkins (TV presenter)|Richard Wilkins]] and [[Monte Dwyer]], it was announced that [[Tracy Grimshaw]] and [[David Reyne]] were to be the co-hosts of this version.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.--> |title=Reyne pips rivals for 'Midday' chair|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/127528123|work=The Canberra Times|date=2 June 1995|access-date=5 August 2021}}</ref> However, only six months later the program was again reformatted, effectively making it more reminiscent of the Mike Walsh/Ray Martin eras.
