TVTonight reveals that RoveDaily.com.au made a slip and temporaily displayed a ‘returning in 2008′ banner.

This news was slipped surreptitiously onto his official website earlier today. So far that’s the sum total of the news.

But was rovedaily.com.au too early with the news? It hasn’t been officially released by TEN yet. In fact, following TV Tonight leading with the news today, and after a TEN spokesperson reaffirmed there has been no statement on a 2008 season, the Rove site then took the news down. McManus’ contract with TEN had been up for renewal and his last show aired on Sunday. Boosted by a good guest line up he finished the year on an up note of 1.36m viewers. Industry talk had speculated over whether the Logie winner might try his luck in the US.
