Sunrise (2015-Sept 2020)

[TFTV]

@MarkC Your right, ratings do matter. Viewers switched off sunrise while many Australians including their audience are facing hardship.

Next stop
Sunrise viewers have decided Sam, Kochie and Eddy will board a flight to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Sam Mac and the Sunrise weather crew will head to the largest Alpine lake in the USA, Lake Tahoe. And Beretts will take Sport to Pioneer Saloon, the last saloon standing.

Nat is missing in action?

[Troiboi]

Did they not explain Nat’s absence today?

I dont think they needed to abandon the trip (practical or not). Having just come back from San Fran and Vegas im enjoying it.

[mirb]

I don’t think an explanation was given for Nat’s absence this morning.

[MBB]

She’s probably flying back

[JBar]

If they made her come back she must be spewing.

@JBar

If they made her come back she must be spewing.

I remember back in 2010 when they went to Hawaii the Greymouth mine disaster in NZ happened at the same time and Kochie was there covering it while the rest of the team was in Hawaii. I think he ended up joining them later in the week if my memory is correct.

Wednesday (05.04.17)- Thursday (06.04.17): Nat is live in Rockhampton covering the Flood Emergency. Kochie and Sam are live in America with Eddy, who is reading the rest of the day’s news.

[MBB]

Well at least they jumped on the situation and sent her back! Do feel bad for her though, while the others are galavanting around the states.

@nationalnews Nat with special coverage from Rockhampton this morning.

[JBar]

They made the right decision from a news coverage point of view.

[Salty]

@JBar Pell should have made the decision last week and kept Nat and Eddy here to focus on special coverage .Viewers backlash on social media of course main reason for Nat’s return.

[TV.Cynic]

And the winner is… FORT WORTH

Sunrise is bound for the Wild West.

Sunrise viewers have decided Sam, Kochie and Eddy will board a flight to Fort Worth.

Meanwhile, Sam Mac and the Sunrise weather crew will head to San Antonio, one of the oldest cities in America with a vast Mexican history.

And Beretts will take Sport to Houston, the city that boasts the first and last words ever spoken to the moon.

[TV.Cynic]

Seven publicity needs to Photoshop Nat out of the promo images.

[JBar]

So even though the viewers vote on the destination, they still cover the same 3 destinations anyway. Hardly a mystery tour then.

Natalie Barr broadcasts from Rockhampton, after US trip cut short.

[nationalnews]

Adam Boland speaks out about Cyclone Debbie’s rolling coverage on breakfast television.

The anchors get sent to where we think there will be the most interview talent to speak to - in terms of both relevancy and quantity…Remember, there’s a lot of airtime to fill. . [Anchors] actually usually best at reporting news so their audiences have a real connection with them… [They] often have to present breaking news without scripts so it helps if they are on location …

But it is magical

@TV.Cynic

But it is magical

Because they made Nat disappear?

[TV.Cynic]

It was a case of Hello, Goodbye for her.
