Sunrise

Maybe Mon will be Kochie’s replacement, if she is due to return from her break this week. Mixing things up could be good. Or one week each for Mon, Matt and Matt.

Next week’s promo is better, promoting several stories and guests.The biggest improvement is that Kochie and Nat recorded it together, as opposed to individually.

In recent weeks, they have dropped the endtag with the group shot in suburbia and reverted to the terrible one from the Eveleigh promo shoot. They also have new slogan ‘start with Sunrise’. I know it is supposed to mean start your day with Sunrise, but every time I hear it, I can’t help but think of viewers starting with Sunrise then switching to the others if they don’t like what’s on. Maybe the message needs some clarification.

Should be “your day starts with Sunrise” or “start your day with Sunrise”

Some of Koche’s luggage went missing - he put an airtag on his bags. He’s in the UK - his backpack was 17,000 ks away :airplane:

Good interview of NSW education minister regarding teachers strike. Musher had really done his research and asking the right questions. Didn’t just let the politician waffle. Haven’t seen that kind of interviewing in a while.

I feel like Nat’s interviewing has also improved somewhat recently. Less stammering and “ums” lately.

If Kochie is the key to their success they should be making a big deal of his 20th anniversary as host of Sunrise (in its current form) when that comes around soon.
Not sure of the exact date he took over in 2002, but I do recall he was hosting at the time of the Bali bombings.
Would be good to have a week of flashbacks.

Nelson has always been one of my favourites of the team, having such a long association with Sunrise is a great achievement and he will be missed!

With his announcement this morning it has got me thinking that Eddy could be returning in two weeks time.
