Not sure if it has been mentioned already but Jade Robran has returned to Sunrise as SA Correspondent. Jade Robran on Instagram: "Back with my @sunriseon7 family! Excited to announce I’ve joined Sunrise as their SA Correspondent. I’ll be out & about covering the events that matter to us 📺 ☀️ … any tips to waking up early welcome!"
Sydney-based Mylee Hogan will also join correspondent Tim Lester in the US.
I still hate that Kochie and Nat pose, still looks really unusual.
Imagine if you reinvented sunrise with local hosts but national correspondents for entertainment etc.
That’s what I was thinking too, but I doubt Sunrise would go local as that would cost a significant amount of money to produce in each market.
Yeh. There’s not the audience is there.
It’s funny how there are so many hyperlocal breakfast and morning newscasts all across America, and yet we can’t even get state-based breakfast.
I could see it possibly working if they followed a similar formula to NBC Today in the US, where there are designated local windows (instead of chopping in and out as they do for Perth (and did for Queensland last year). But yes, it would involve investment and staffing that I don’t think 7 are keen on.
Well the US population is nearly 332 million while Australia is only 25 million.
It’s sad that SCA does more for Tasmania/Spencer Gulf than Seven does for Melbourne/Sydney/Adelaide/Brisbane. The former airs short, local Sunrise news updates across the morning and Seven does nothing.
The Tasmania and Spencer gulf updates are prerecorded from the night.
If I remember correctly, the ‘Sunrise’ updates for Tasmania are not live and are recorded the night before.
Yes they are prerecorded from the previous night, but better than nothing. In an ideal world all affiliates/metros would be doing the same. At least everyone has updates through the day except one lazy affiliate (cough cough WIN)
TBF though Sunrise would have live crosses to local reporters in the other capital cities for various stories, wouldn’t they? They may not be ‘local’ news but resources are seemingly put into including coverage from those cities
If Melbourne/Sydney/Adelaide gets prerecorded updates overnight there could be hours old news and is some breaking news or news develops which normally happens. If that happen they air a prerecorded update that doesn’t have the latest developments which defeats the whole purpose of having a news update.
Weekend Sunrise had all of the Melbourne guests standing in what was a very empty newsroom this morning. I think I prefer the sky cam.
Yes there are live crosses to reporters in every city (except Perth unless there is big news), but often they’ll cover a national story, not something of local significance (like a cross to Melbourne for interest rates).
Isn’t the former just pre-recorded updates from the night before?
Still unclear as to whether the Tasmania and Spencer Gulf updates are live or pre-recorded 
No way they’re live. SCA wouldn’t stump up that cash
