''Sunrise'' is an Australian breakfast television program, broadcast on the Seven Network and currently hosted by David Koch and Samantha Armytage. The program follows ''Seven Early News'' and runs from 6am to 9am, followed by ''The Morning Show''. ==History== The history of ''Sunrise'' can be traced back to at least 17 January 1991 when ''11AM'' news presenter Darren McDonald began presenting an early morning ''Seven News – Sunrise Edition'' bulletin prior to hostilities breaking out during the Gulf War. In 1996, Seven introduced a one-hour weekday bulletin called ''Sunrise News'', later renamed ''Sunrise''. Seven recruited Chris Bath from NBN Television to present the bulletin alongside Peter Ford. Ford moved to other presenting roles in 1996, and was replaced by finance editor David Koch. In 1997, Chris Bath was transferred to Seven's ''10.30pm News'' and was replaced by Melissa Doyle. In 1998 Sunrise was presented by Melissa Doyle and Nick McArdle Seven launched a Sunday bulletin hosted by Stan Grant, entitled ''Sunday Sunrise'', in 1997. Weekday ''Sunrise'' was cancelled in 1999, replaced by children's program ''The Big Breakfast''. Seven maintained half-hourly news updates during ''The Big Breakfast'', and their Sunday bulletin was not affected by the axing. Other temporary ''Sunrise'' hosts up until this time include Anne Fulwood (who was filling in for Georgie Gardner at the time of the program's end), Leigh Hatcher and Nick McArdle (previously weekend sport presenter, ''Seven News'' Sydney). During the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Andrew Daddo and Johanna Griggs presented ''Olympic Sunrise'' from a leased apartment near Lavender Bay in Sydney which provided the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as waterside backdrops. On 1 May 2000, the program was replaced by a new version of ''Sunrise'' produced by Adam Boland. It was hosted by one of Boland's favourite newsreaders Georgie Gardner and Melbourne sport reporter Mark Beretta and music video program ''AMV''. According to Adam Boland's ''Brekky Central'', in late 2001, producers had created a plan to take over TODAY on Channel Nine as the leader at breakfast which had taken inspiration from Fox America's Fox and Friends. Set to debut in March 2002, the multimillion-dollar production would have its own dedicated studio and fronted by Australian Radio personality Andrew Daddo and Lisa Forrest. However a month before its launch, the network's board axed the idea and believed money could be better spent. In March 2002, Seven revamped their breakfast television schedule with ''Seven Early News'' at 6:00 a.m., hosted by Chris Reason (and only lasted around one week), and a new version of ''Sunrise'' from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., hosted by Reason and Melissa Doyle. ''Sunrise'' from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. began in February the same year. David Koch was brought in to present the finance reports. In October of that year, Reason discovered he had another cancerous tumour behind his kidney and had to resign from his position. Four years earlier he had undergone treatment for another growth. Koch was appointed temporary presenter, a position later made permanent. ''Sunrise'' was yet again revamped soon after Koch's appointment, focusing less on hard news and became more family friendly. The show, along with its rival ''Today'' on Nine, have become more tabloid focused. This has boosted ratings by moving people away from morning radio and the newspaper to the TV. In 2003, the show began to pick up ratings, and appointed Natalie Barr to present the news updates, followed by the appointment of former Network Ten journalist Grant Denyer to present weather reports, then the re- appointment of Mark Beretta, who was brought in to present sports updates. The new plan to take on today and since with the ratings rise was some dramatic point of difference which included news updates every thirty minutes, big interviews, less formal presenting than a news bulletin, 'the soapbox', ROS wall, natural chemistry but most importantly a sift in viewers interest. Kochie and Mel, as they informally became known, replied less on scripts but more on talking points. They would debate the issues of the day and the viewers would heavily influence those topics. On 30 August 2004, ''Sunrise'', ''Seven News Sydney'' and ''Seven Morning News'' moved from their studios in Epping to the new Seven News centre at Martin Place. On 29 January 2007 ''Sunrise'' had a complete makeover with changes to the set and on-screen graphics. Due to continued viewer feedback, the ''Sunrise'' set changed again on 10 June 2007; specifically, the new set includes more of the city into its shots by the installation of smart glass. This glass, similar to that on the new Boeing 787 allows for the transparency of the glass to be adjusted, ranging from clear, to partially transparent to completely opaque, showing as a solid blue. These changes have proved useful in shielding viewers from the actions of some passers by, notably, cast members of the ABC show ''The Chaser's War on Everything''. The set was also modified so ''The Morning Show's'' set could fit into the Martin Place current affairs studio. In October 2009, it was announced that at the start of 2010, ''Sunrise'' will receive a brand new set, format, graphics and logo on 25 January 2010. In April 2010, ''Sunrise'' added a feature show that shows a selection of highlights from the previous day’s (or in the case of Monday, Friday's) ''Sunrise''; the show is known as ''Sunrise Extra''. ''Sunrise Extra'' airs at 5am each weekday morning prior to ''Seven Early News''. In 2011, there was much speculation that Melissa Doyle would be leaving the show to present ''Today Tonight'' and that David Koch may be moved to a prime-time position. However, Doyle continued with the show for her tenth consecutive year in 2012, as did Koch. On 29 February 2012, ''Sunrise'' celebrated its 10th anniversary with Mel & Kochie. Doyle is the only original presenter remaining from the March 2002 launch; at the time, Chris Reason was her co-host (he took leave in late 2002 to fight cancer, prompting the initial then-temporary appointment of Koch) and David Koch was the finance analyst. Koch started presenting ''Sunrise'' on a permanent basis from 4 October 2002. In May 2013, Sunrise started broadcasting once a week from the Seven Networks Melbourne Studios HSV7, to try and capture a growing Melbourne audience. ''Today'' has been winning the Melbourne market since 2008. The show is broadcast from the stations AFL Game Day set. On 20 June 2013 during the program, Melissa Doyle announced that she was leaving ''Sunrise'' after 14 years to front a new prime time Network News initiative. She stated, "It’s with that experience and support from the team that I am able to take this next step. I’m honoured that the Network has given me this incredible new opportunity and I am unbelievably excited about the new challenges ahead". It was later announced that Samantha Armytage would be replacing Melissa as co-host alongside David Koch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunrise (TV program)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
