AS dumped Sunrise anchor Melissa Doyle fired off a response regarding her new television role at Seven on her social website yesterday, it emerged that Doyle had enjoyed a measure of protection at Seven under former Seven Media CEO David Leckie.
Insiders have said that when the television executive stood down in 2012 after 12 years at Seven, the protection and loyalty he had extended to a raft of staff both on-air and off was compromised.
Doyle, along with Matt White and Tony Squires and Seven news director Peter Meakin, former Today Tonight boss Craig McPherson, were all highly paid staffers whose best interests were no longer assured.
Squires, Seven's prime-time news sports presenter and a longtime favourite of Leckie's, was the first to have his job reviewed a month after Leckie's departure when it was announced that Squires would be moved aside in favour of Jim Wilson.
Squires later left the network for Fox Sports. White was benched from Today Tonight in December in favour of Helen Kapalos.
Two senior executives who enjoyed good relationships with Leckie also announced their departures with Meakin and McPherson deciding the time had come to move on.
Doyle's number would soon be up, thanks to poor audience research.
Mel and Chris fight for survival
Yesterday Doyle wrote from her vacation that the "rumour mill has been working overtime".
She wishes to clarify that her two-week holiday was "planned back in February when Nelson (Aspen) invited me to his 50th birthday party".
"I booked flights in late April," she wrote on Facebook. She did not deny she had been removed from her post at Sunrise.
Insider says Mel took a pay cut
Choosing her words carefully, she wrote: "I was presented with a new opportunity at the network and I decided to accept it.
"Of course I will be sad to leave the Sunrise couch, but I'm also excited and happy about my new challenge. I know the conspiracy theorists would like you to believe otherwise, but it's just not true."
Her statement comes as a television insider claims audience research defining Doyle as old fashioned and her replacement as "sexy" is behind the Sunrise host's shunting from the show.
The source says Samantha Armytage, 35, is seen by men as attractive and that women like her sassy sense of humour.
