Sunrise (2020-Feb 2025)

Will be interesting to see what order. By seniority it should be “Nat and Shirvo” but we all know that sometimes TV is very Male driven. So could still be Shirvo first.

I’d hope for the first.

Chris Reason brought in this morning and Matt Doran from Grafton.

The elongated departure is long gone in media (with maybe some limited exceptions) - two weeks is likely to be the maximum you’d see now (and only for some).

This has shown the importance of a succession strategy (especially given Koch’s tenure) - they’ve laid the groundwork in the past months/years so it shouldn’t come as a great surprise that Shirvo’s the replacement.

Why “Natalie” but not “Matthew”?

With two Matts now hosting Sunrise they’ll be looking for ways to differentiate them - Matt S and Matt D.

His full name is Matt AFAIK.

Surely, they’ll call Matt Shirvington by his existing nickname, Shirvo?

I would thoerise that it’s most likely like a breakfast FM-radio branding thing.
“Kyle & Jackie-O”, “Fitzy & Wippa”, “Jonsey & Amanda”.

The idea that you’re likely to be more welcoming to friendly faces when you first wake up, sitting in your PJs.

:joy: You people obviously don’t watch. They will keep using the ‘Nat and Shirvo’ V/O that was recorded not longer after he joined the show.

Nat and Matt sounds much better though

I reckon they will use Nat and Shirvo.

They need to get brainstorming on a nickname for Nat.

Barzo, Shirvo and Beretts

How about “Welcome to Sunrise”

Nat is her nickname. Her name is Natalie.

Why?

It was a joke. :thinking:

Has the promo farewelling Kochie and welcoming Shirvo featuring the whole ‘Sunrise Family’ been doing the rounds? I don’t think there has been any discussion in here.

Does show one thing - Nat and Shirvo were together in that photo shoot debated above ^ :yum:
