I think you are pretty much correct. Ann read the news for a week (possibly a fortnight) in 2013, just before Sam officially started as co-host.
As for Jen, I don’t recall that 2010 stint (though I had switched over to Today around then anyway). However, I know she did a stint around 2007/08, presumably to strengthen Sunrise’s declining Melbourne audience. I don’t think she ever presented from the bookshelf set though (strange but the sets help me visualise).
I am pretty sure the last time Kylie co-hosted Sunrise was with Kochie August 2011. While she has done a few stints on weekends, I think Kylie should be used more.
But with so many capable fill-in s for Sam on Sunrise- Nat, Eddy, Monique and Angela Cox- I can’t see it happening anytime soon.
I agree. Saw on a couple of shots today some pretty damaged and chipped pieces of set clearly visible on camera. I think we’ll find they do a refurb of art leading into 2020.
Last year Sunrise’s special themed graphics always looked really good. Definitely not a fan of those Oscar super nor the one used during the QLD floods.
Sunrise was ahead of Today by over 90,000 yesterday with Today slipping to its lowest number for the week so far. Sunrise’s 5-city audience was higher than Today’s national audience.
Tuesday (05.03.2019): Nat is live in Bunyip, Victoria, today- covering the local bushfire crisis. Edwina Bartholomew is reading the rest of the day’s news.
