Whether or not this was a bad thing or not, Adam Boland never had a rotating roster of presenters on Sunrise particularly juniors. I agree with @inthewild, it is a shame that they never got anyone to replace Talitha (I hope she comes back though).

I am watching Sunrise again this morning. I am obsessed with Denham Hitchcockâs inability to read. Itâs particularly noticeable when the sports reporter takes over.
Before next weekend I think someone at Sunrise should introduce Denham on the art of understanding commas and fullstops. The week after they could cover how to put a whole sentence together. The week after exclamation marks.
Is his role as newsreader proof that âlooks are more important than talentâ? Let me put it this way - has Denham ever read the news on radio?

I watched a bit of Denham this morning. Yes he isnât good but I think that with work and time, he could be better. First things first, I like a male newsreader on breakfast and female on sport (simply because it is rare) and the fact that Denham is wearing a tie gives him a few extra points. I think Hitchcockâs problem is due to his time with Sunday Night. For some reason journos on current affairs shows tend to read reaaaaalllly s.l.o.w (Michael Usher does it at times too), unnecessarily emphasising words.
BTW, no weather presenter again this weekend with Simon reading sport and weather.

Maybe Denham doesnât look comfortable doing it yet but I rather his serious take on the news rather than Simon taking the piss out of everything and anything which is getting on my nerves. Do we constantly need stupid voices and accents to read the sport results.

100% agree. I can never take Simon seriously and his constant interruptions of his reading is extremely unprofessional and annoying. Iâd rather he read all the reports then comment before the cross to weather.
Monique will be co-hosting Sunrise this week.
Andrew is now on holidays, it sounds like Denham will be co-hosting next weekend.Angela Cox back reading news next weekend along with another week on Sunrise reading news.

Denham Hitchcock was alright, good on Sunrise/Seven for giving him an opportunity to present.
Did he ever present a bulletin over at Nine?

Current affairs shows like SN cover what, five stories over an hour? Thereâs no need to narrate them at the same pace as youâd read a news bulletin.

Yay for Ange. Boo for Monique
Monday (9.01.17)- Friday (13.01.17): Monique Wright is co-hosting with Kochie this week with Angela Cox on the news. Ryan Phelan is presenting sport. Sam Mac is back from holidays.
@spw68 I find Monique always seems to do better with the Sunrise team than the Weekend Sunrise gang.

During summer we always see new talent filling in and for me this year Ange has been the standout.Apart from Sunrise she has also been reading news bulletins and working non stop.
Ange and Eddy both have potential and it has been great to hear it is being noticedâŚ

Sunrise has made several gags about the Nine News Now jacket saga this morning including;
- âThanks for your company this black Fridayâ
- Ryan âDo you want me to step out"
Kochie " If that is what you want to doâ.

I wouldnât have thought that was one though. Friday the 13th is normally known as a Black Friday.

Most likely everyone (Sam,Nat,Eddy and Beretts) will be back from holidays on Monday.
Mondayâs show is a extended edition.
EDIT- Nat said on Instagram she is back on Monday and Ryan Phelan said see you then so Beretts must be still on holidays.
