\n\t\t\t\t\tHost said he hadn’t attended TV awards in some time. Photos said otherwise.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Former Breakfast TV host David Koch last week lashed out at the Logies for failing to nominate Sunrise in any category, given they dominate in TV ratings.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the first time he or the show took issue with the Logies.<\/p>\n

Back in 2018 Seven complained about the cost of attending the Gold Coast event with Samantha Armytage, David Koch, Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur all giving it the snub.<\/p>\n

At the time Kochie told FIVEaa\u2019s David and Wil it wasn\u2019t the first time had skipped them but as TVT reported at the time, he was absolutely there in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always scratched our head at how the\u00a0Logies\u00a0are decided and judged,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe powers that be at Seven have said, well, not worth going this year. As I say, I haven\u2019t been for a few years \u2026 I\u2019m not missing much I don\u2019t think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not quite true, he was there last year as this photo (above) indicates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there is a place for the\u00a0Logies,\u201d Koch added. \u201cBut I think they\u2019ve got to be a bit more transparent in how it\u2019s all done and maybe have a rethink of how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yesterday Karl Stefanovic criticised his \u201cboring\u201d opposition for not attending, prompting Sam Armytage to respond \u201cI agree @karlstefanovic we are boring. So boring you can\u2019t stop talking about us on your show\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sunrise\u00a0executive producer Michael Pell questioned Stefanovic\u2019s own call to boycott the event, adding on social media, \u201cThe exercise is simply too costly for us in 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seven is reportedly planning \u201ca significant presence\u201d at the\u00a0Logies\u00a0including every nominee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Host said he hadn’t attended TV awards in some time.
