Media Watch – the longstanding ABC show that scrutinizes media coverage – has investigated Channel Nine's breakfast show Today’s appearance in Griffith on Wednesday.
Media Watch will look at allegations Channel Nine expected a $100,000 retainer before committing to visiting Griffith.
It is understood Media Watch will also look at whether this is common practice for other regional areas the Today show visits.
The Media Watch episode will be broadcast on ABC on Monday night at 9.20am.
The episode can also be seen on ABC’s iview.
Last week, hundreds flooded Memorial Park as the cast of the breakfast show were treated to live music, dancing and local hospitality.
Hosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson were joined by presenters Richard Wilkins and Sylvia Jeffreys for the occasion.
