Conception
Morning Edition was replaced by Sunrise as part of a precursor to the e.news 24-hour news channel that will launch at the beginning of June.
Sunrise is the 24-hour news channel's flagship morning programme and will be stripped to be "simulcast" and be shown at the same time on the free-to-air e.tv channel.
Sunrise sports a trendy new look and also new presenters, is more newsy with more fixed features, inserts and more cutting edge since it is manned by the people running the 24-hour news operation.
The channel prepared Sunrise for an April debut so that morning show runners are already used to producing the morning chat-fest by the time the news channel starts two months later.
