Sunrise is making a huge transformation as they move to a new studio!
Over the years, we've cherished our morning rituals and routines. Many of us are familiar with Sunrise, the iconic Channel 7 morning show, which has been a staple in Australian households for decades.
Hosted by Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington, Sunrise has evolved over the years while maintaining a special place in the hearts of its viewers.
But, as they say, change is inevitable, and we're here to inform you that Sunrise is experiencing a significant shift of its own. The show, which has been broadcast from the Martin Place window in Sydney for nearly two decades, will soon be moving to a new location!
That’s right, the Sunrise team will no longer greet us from the familiar Martin Place window every morning.
Instead, their familiar faces will now be seen from the company's new studio in Eveleigh as part of a concerted effort by Channel 7 to unite its operations under one roof.
Sunrise, Weekend Sunrise, and The Morning Show will gradually transition to the new location, following the example of their nightly news counterparts.
The move is set to happen over the next month, with several parts of Seven's team, including 7NEWS.com.au and 7 NEWS Spotlight, already having made the switch.
According to Channel 7's Chief Executive James Warburton, the relocation to south Eveleigh marks an exciting phase for the company.
'Martin Place has served as an exceptional home for us, but as we aim to unite even more Australians across our much-loved news and public affairs content, our transition to the purpose-built, state-of-the-art studio space in south Eveleigh is a pivotal move.'
While the information on the new studio's appearance is still scarce, early descriptions depict it as a cutting-edge facility with all the modern amenities required for top-tier broadcasting.
We can't wait to see how the new studio compares to the iconic Martin Place location that has served as the backdrop for so many memorable TV moments.
This monumental change signifies a 'new beginning', according to the network's Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson.
'Since first turning the lights on at Martin Place on August 30, 2004, Seven's News and Public Affairs team has broadcast a mammoth 70,000 hours of television from the Martin Place studio.' remarked Mr McPherson.
He went on to add: 'Hundreds of careers started there, as did programs. Not all lasted, but the constant demand for the content never wavered. It was a wonderful workplace for all of us, but it had served its time.'
Sunrise has undoubtedly left an imprint on Australian pop culture and has become a part of our morning routines.
Their ability to deliver news, entertainment, and everyday life tips in a comforting, engaging manner has made them the go-to source for information for viewers nationwide.
While it may take a little time for us to adjust to the change, we're looking forward to seeing the new state-of-the-art facilities that Sunrise will be broadcasting from in the near future.
We wish the entire team good luck in their new home and can't wait to see what they have in store for us from the new studio.
