The Seven Network is excited to announce Australia’s favourite weather presenter, Sam Mac, as the new host of long-running lifestyle program, Sydney Weekender.
The Sunrise star takes the helm of the travel, food and adventure show, which celebrates its 30th season in 2023, returning at 5.30pm today on Channel 7 and 7plus, and repeated every Saturday on 7two.
Weekend Sunrise should rebrand as simply Sunrise. The weekday logo is used onscreen throughout WS, and in the opener except for the end slide, and often during the show.
Just call it Sunrise and have weekday and weekend teams… they work so well together and are interchangeable.
If they ran the same timeslot, I’d agree but I think it’s important to keep the distinction. NBC has two weekend brands (Saturday Today and Sunday Today).
Interesting to see a comment on Sam Armytage’s latest Instagram post saying that they miss her on Sunrise etc., to which Sam replies “Stay tuned”. Could Sam make a comeback to television? Hope so. Might not be on Seven but I suppose we have to wait and see.
Her role on Farmer wants a Wife was irrelevant and seems she only appeared so her contract would be worth something. She should leave TV permanently and stay at her Bowral home.
As he should the media as a whole have been a bit obsessed with Qantas lately unnecessary broadcasting every little thing that has happen even routine delays and aircraft issues that every airline has. They haven’t been doing the same with Virgin as much. Sunrise has participated in this alot like most other media outlets and it’s unnecessary.
