That is often the way they do the opener when a guest presenter is in the chair. Nothing to be too concerned about 
Suspense. LOL.

Are you referring to just Weekend Sunrise? Whenever I see the openers on Sunrise and there is a fill in, they always read the openers taking turns as would normally happen with regular co-hosts. I rarely ever see openers with just one person reading the headlines like this morning, it seems too disjointed or something. I know this is what itâs like with the news but when you are expecting two co-hosts, you expect both to read the headlines. They really shouldnât be pre-recorded either; whatâs wrong with reading them live? Have they gone tacky with this in recent times too, like many other interviews I see that they try to make appear live but clearly are not; theyâve been pre-recorded. I would gladly like to know when else you have this happen; it certainly canât be too common.
Oh it was such a nice, quiet week.

Think you might be overthinking/analysing things a little. Perhaps pop the remote down and go for a little wander outside, kick a ball around or something.

Woah, woah. Steady on. Letâs re-wind a tad.
@Bort said Mike Amor reading Seven News Melbourne?
Huh indeed.
Just mentioning whatâs been stated in the Seven News Presenters and Reporters thread, Lukey Boy.

I think its safe to assume that Tim McMillan will be taking Andrews place on Weekend Sunrise, this is the second post on Timâs social media account in which someone has mentioned Sunrise and he has liked the posts.

You have got to be joking!! I would much prefer Matt Doran over him and thatâs saying something. Tim has had no experience on Sunrise whatsoever; dedicated viewers wouldnât have a clue who he is. The fact that he was axed from Nine News Perth says something doesnât it; keep him away from Sunrise!!
Nine offered him a new contract. He didnât accept the terms.

How do you suggest they introduce us to new faces then? Someone needs to replace Kochie eventually. Itâs not like theyâre replacing the whole team. Monique, Sally, Simon and James will all still be there. I think Weekend Sunrise is in safe hands with Tim.

Heâs had experience on Today, and if I recall Matt Doran, Basil and Michael Usher had no experience on TV Breakfast shows nor did Andrew when he began on Weekend Sunrise a long time ago.

Tim McMillan has loads of experience. As a reporter and a presenter. He got a lot of positive feedback via social media when he hosted today in the Summerâs of 2015/16 and this year. IMO Weekend Sunrise would be in great hands.

Not someone from another network who hasnât really been introduced yet to this network, particularly taking on such a major role. I hate all the jumping ships that has been happening recently. Canât we just use talent that each network has or get someone completely new who is not associated with any particular network yet for these major roles. Like I said, I think all the other potential suspects are fine when compared to potentially using someone fresh from another rival network. If he was to go to Seven, he should start in a smaller role so people can get used to him on another network first. It just looks bad that he is going from news and fill ins on a breakfast show on one channel to one on another channel, particularly when they are supposed to be rivals.
Youâd rather they use somebody that is inexperienced or not as good? You want journalists to stay at one network forever? Thatâs crazy.
By the way, jumping networks is nothing new. If you look at the careers of many veteran journalists, they have likely worked at two, three or more networks in their career.

Not really. It doesnât look bad at all. Again. Kind of getting fixated on the little things most people wouldnât think twice about. Donât mean to be rude.

Well we havenât had confirmation RE Tim McMillan on Sunrise/Weekend Sunrise as of yet. So who knows whatâs happening behind the scenes.
Also just want to make a note RE âhasnât been introduced slowly to a new networkâ. The late Ian Ross spent 38 years at Nine Sydney first as a reporter, then news presenter on Today and fill in presenter for National Nine News. He retired in 2001, and by late 2003 became the main weeknight anchor for Seven News Sydney - almost 2 years after retiring. When he started at 7, he went straight for a major role - no mucking about.
So if itâs proven for Tim to start with Sunrise, let him make the role his own, itâs all been done before.

From Timâs time on Today, he is capable of hosting a breakfast. However, I think he is a boring choice with little persona, which AOK and Kochie both arguably have. He will likely do better on the Friday than the weekend, as Sam is a strong host.
I think what @Mitchell_Nock was trying to say before is that it is better for Sunrise to appoint a familiar face (someone who regularly fills, apart of the family) or at least someone well-known. I too think Matt, Basil or Mike Amor would do a better job.
