Why is Sunrise always better with anyone but Kochie hosting with Sam?

Itâs different not necessarily better. Sounds like youâre shit stirring.

It isnât that bad
Personally I think Mark Beretta and Natalie Barr should be the current main co-presenters of Sunrise.
As Iâve said before, David Koch has had his day and probably shouldâve stepped aside when Melissa Doyle did IMO.

Perhaps if the show was behind in the ratings, but as itâs not⌠I donât see Mark Baretta as a suitable replacement.
Seven have a number of proven popular hosts on the books at the moment that might see Sunrise as a promotion if they are available for the timeslot. Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies come to mind.

Any retirement by Koch (he is 61 & financially astute, so I dare say that is the only reason he will leave, 7 wouldnât terminate him unless ratings are horrid) will most likely be transitional. He will increase is annual leave to allow for trials and possibly even segue out (a few months at 4 days a week) or perhaps move to Weekend Sunrise.
Beretta & Barr wonât be made hosts, Barr has said she doesnât want it, and Berettaâs deal is sweetened by allowing him to do âpassion projectsâ such as sports coverage of events he is interested in.
Larry & Kylie would not both move, it would be too bigger risk to both the Sunrise and TMS brands.

If they needed replacements and thatâs a big âifâ, then recent fill-in hosts like Mike Amor and Angela Cox would be more appropriate.
If it happens, I agree it would be transitional. They should have learnt their lesson from last time.
Well said.
I know a lot of people here absolute despise Kochie, but Kochie probably wonât be as bad if Mel was still on Sunrise. I know ratings donât support this theory and people here wonât either, but IMO Mel shouldâve never been removed from Sunrise.

Sunrise, Today fight over Tom Cruise exclusives

A great coup for Sunrise having a megastar in the studio for an extensive interview.
A great coup? Heâll be the reason I switch off. Why would they âfightâ over him?

They did it wrong, they needed to get their resident Tom Cruise expert, Peter âPut your manners back inâ Overton to conduct the interview.
Hereâs something pretty old. Seven News Sunrise 2001 with Georgie Gardner (@nationalnews will be happy to check this out) and Mark Beretta.

Mike Amor and Michael Usher are much better options than Andrew O"Keefe as co-hosts in my opinion.

AOK is fine as a presenterâŚfor a game show like Deal or No Deal and the Chase.
