History
The show features a combination of live breaking news, as well as live interviews with various personalities and entertainment updates.[1] The show premiered on Monday 17 June at 3:00pm with hosts Tom Williams, Sally Obermeder , Monique Wright and Kris Smith.[3]
In its first episode, newsreader Ian Ross was the first studio guest of the show and singer Robin Thicke was interviewed in a pre-recorded package. The first episode rated 71,000 across the metro audience, well behind rival program Nine News Now at 136,000 viewers. Its midnight replay was watched by 80,000 viewers.[6] The second episode on 18 June rose to 90,000 viewers, closing the gap on Channel Nine's offering which rated 107,000 viewers. A midnight replay gathered 50,000 viewers.[7]
In August, The Daily Edition moved to an earlier timeslot of 2-3pm allowing the show to go live, instead of being prerecorded by 45 minutes.[8]
When the show first started out there was a fixed music theme used regularly throughout the show. In September 2013, the theme was scrapped with more popular recent music being now used as bumpers.
In 2015, it was announced that Kris Smith would not be returning to the show and would now be focusing on 'health and sport' which the Executive Producer of TDE said was his strong point. She also mentioned that the show was moving towards covering more news and would not replace Smith. As of March 2015, Tom Williams and Sally Obermeder co-hosting Monday through to Friday with Monique Wright and Larry Emdur joining them (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) and Wednesday respectively. News updates are held at the beginning and the end of the show and is presented by Monique Wright on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays and Seven Afternoon News presenter, usually Melissa Doyle, presenting on Wednesday and Thursdays.
