Vincent Browne's new show

I saw an ad tonight for a new news/politics program on TV3 hosted by Vincent Browne. Great to see our alternative network offering a new face and a new perspective on news/politics.
Nightly News with Vincent Browne will give viewers in this country something they have never had before in one programme – a news bulletin, in-depth reports, interviews with the key newsmakers and expert analysis, sport, weather and uniquely a preview of the following morning’s newspapers.

The Nightly News team will be led by Vincent Browne, one of Ireland’s foremost journalists. Vincent will anchor the programme and will be joined by two Senior Correspondents, Karen Coleman, who joins TV3 from Newstalk Radio where she presents an award winning weekly programme The Wide Angle and Brian O’Donovan, one of this country’s most exciting young journalists. He has covered most of the big stories for TV3 News since he joined two years ago.
I simply can't get excited by the idea of a new Vincent Browne led news/politics show.
