Assessment comments
  • Does anyone know the music used for the intro of Sunrise?Arbiteroftruth 23:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
To be honest, I'm very rarely awake early enough to see the intro, but they had a clip of Duran Duran singing "Sunrise" and Koch joked that they were covering the Sunrise theme. As I say, I don't know if they actually use that track for the intro, since I'm not really awake that early (and even if I am somewhat conscious, "awake" is probably still a misnomer) to know, but based on the joke, it seems likely.
And that, my good sir, is how you turn a question about a TV show into a story about yourself. Self-obsession kicks ass. - 211.28.136.87 07:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sunrise (UK)

Found this page looking for information about Sunrise on Sky News. Added the standard link at the top to make it easier to distinguish between the two. --UkNews 23:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

I notice some to-and-fro'ing in the edit history regarding article name. User:Reflex Reaction has (more than once) moved the article to Sunrise (TV series), at the same time linking to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) which states "For all other programs use (TV program) or (TV programme)" for non episodic television. If there are no arguments I'll move the article to Sunrise (TV program) -- Chuq 09:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. I've fixed double redirects, but I'll wait for any arguments or counter-pagemoves before changing all the rest. -- Chuq 07:19, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I've fixed all the other page links so they now all point to (TV program) as against (TV series). -TonyW 23:08, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Tony. Unfortunately, someone else (this time User:TKLM) has decided to go and move the page to Sunrise (Australia) without any discussion at all. (I've now reverted it). -- Chuq 04:22, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chasers

Added by User:70.69.9.186

"Recently, a guest made a joke that he want his girlfriend to "get the fuck out". The hosts were shocked by the audience gave a heavy applause."

I removed this because the incident mentioned was actually a segment of satirical program The Chasers War on Everything, and was not part of the actual Sunrise program. The following is from The Advertiser:

"A SEGMENT on satirical news program The Chaser's War on Everything featuring two prominent Channel 7 personalities was planned, pre-recorded and done with the network's knowledge, a spokeswoman said yesterday.
The segment, which aired on ABC-TV, featured Sunrise hosts David Koch and Melissa Doyle.
During it, a member of the Chaser team seemed to swear violently at his girlfriend via the camera, "shocking" the much-beloved breakfast duo. The segment has since found new life on the internet.
A spokeswoman for Channel 7 said the interview was "a mock-up". "Mel, Kochie and the Chaser boys are all friends," she said. " [1]

If I get time I'll re-add the correct information. Tntnnbltn 06:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

wow this is the most intresting thing in the article, i wonder if they have done any other mock-up sections. thank you User:70.69.9.186 for posting your concerns. Maybe this is more apropriate in the other article but it seems very intrest and would you have removed it if the spoof was for a channel 7 comedy show? --Whywhywhy 09:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

who evers putting words in "quotation" marks really needs to source the quotes or else ill remove the POV ones.--Whywhywhy 09:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Traffic Reports

Someone suggested merging the Sunrise traffic reports with the main Sunrise article. I don't think this should be done as it is not actually part of the Sunrise program, because it is just shown in ad breaks.

They arent prominent enough for their own page. They should be merged. - Mike Beckham 11:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The whole page is just a gratuitous list of 'celebrities', which certainly doesn't deserve it's own article - to the normal viewer they are part of the program (or at least they are to me). There are other aspects of Sunrise/parts of this article that are more deserving of attention. timg231 02:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Large Scrolling News Text?

I'd like to know why Sunrise has the BIGGEST news scrolling bar (in height). It's almost double the text in it.

Because that way the text won't get chopped off by some TV screen's overscan. The box is high because the scrolling text needs to fit into the 'Title safe' area. timg231 02:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coloured bars

The coloured bars are pretty garish, and don't really match Wikipedia style. I have left a note on User talk:59.101.106.7 (the IP who introduced the changes). -- Chuq (talk)

09:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. They don't add much to the article. Recurring dreams 09:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weekend Sunrise Changes

Kylie Gillies is hosting until a new host is found - please do not change again. Lisa is not coming back on Sunrise.

[edit] Did channel seven pay some to right this

It looks like there is quite a lot of emphasis on the positives of the show and very little about it's critisisms and other bad stuff so i believe that this article has been heavily edited by channel seven

There is a "Controversy" section. Also if you believe the article is not written from a neutral point of view, you are welcome to change it for the better. Recurring dreams 00:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic Sunrise

Do you think i should add Andrew Daddo and johanna griggs to the presenters template becuase of their 3 weeks as anchors of 'Olympic Sunrise" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.220.79.178 (talk) 04:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy: Sunrise vs A Current Affair

Is this really a controversy? It was infact proven that ACA are in the wrong, and got the double slap with ACMA rewarding them with a notice saying that they've gotten their facts wrong numerous times. Mel and Kochie being ambushed on air by a number of idiots from the "A Current Affair" fan club for talking about National Bingo Night isn't really a controversy - they did nothing wrong and actually turned out in the end to do their best to help the viewers. Although remember that the rules, as pointed out by Today Tonight later in that evening, showed that the viewers are in the wrong, and that if the episode doesn't air, then the contestants don't get the money.

What do you guys think? Sunrise weren't arguing, disagreeing or agreeing with them. They infact didn't interact with them at all. And finally after all, how has Kochie got anything to do with handing out payments for National Bingo Night? Alltrainzfan (talk) 00:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
