Television legend BERT NEWTON will take centre stage at the 2010 TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS to be held at Melbourne’s Crown Entertainment Complex and televised on the Nine Network on Sunday, May 2.
“The Logies have always meant so much to me, and to be at the helm in a new era of Logies is just terrific,” Bert said.
“I know the new Executive Producer, Adrian Dellevergin, has a lot of exciting ideas for this year’s presentation. Adrian and I worked together for many years in the Don Lane Show era, and to work with him again is a joy.”
