Sunrise (Euroish TV programme)

Sunrise is a Euroish TV programme for TV3. Airing every day from 5:30am to 9am, it features a mix of news, interviews, current affairs and buisness. It is currently the longest running morning news show on Euro Republican television.

It's biggest rival - broadcast on ETV One - is ETV News at Breakfast, which is a straight news programme.

Format
Currently, Sunrise is primarily focused on hard news - with a heavy focus on national and international news, business reports and political interviews, albeit in a more informal manner than other news programmes and it's main rival, ETV News at Breakfast.

Despite this, Sunrise - particularly after 8am - begins to include lighter elements, such as celebrity interviews, human interest items, lifestyle and entertainment features.

Sunrise Extra (2006-present)
A spin-off show, Sunrise Extra airs afterwards from 9am to 11:30am and is much lighter in content, with human interest stories, shopping segments, entertainment news, performances, cooking, advice and movie/TV reviews. It launched in 2006 as a replacement for the Euro Republican version of This Morning.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was placed on hiatus for Summer 2020, replaced with an extended Sunrise with the Sunrise Extra presenters and format. Sunrise Extra aired for the last time before hiatus on 24th April 2020, returning on 1st September 2020.

Sunrise Weekend (2020-present)
In 2020, as part of a shake-up in the TV3 schedule, it was announced that a Sunrise spin-off, Sunrise Weekend, would air on Saturday from 06.00-07.30 and Sunday’s from 8am to 11am. Like Sunrise Extra, Sunrise Weekend is lighter in tone than its weekday counterpart, with human interest stories, entertainment, cooking and music segments.

Daybreak (1993-present)
Daybreak (formerly Early Sunrise) is an hour long bulletin, launched on 6th September 1993, currently airing at 5:00am on weekdays, presented from the network's Euro City studios by various presenters. The show became Daybreak on 30th August, 2021. Daybreak mixes more serious news with a weather forecast, business and more frivolous and sarcastic elements akin to Fox Headline News, with topical skits and light-hearted discussion, with most reports and journalists shared with Nightline and the aforementioned Fox Headline News and from sources including the BBC, ITN, CNN and Reuters. It is common for many guests on the day's edition of Sunrise to also appear on Daybreak.

The programme was placed on hiatus during the summer months of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing TV3 to downsize it's studio operations, causing the programme to be temporarily replaced by an extended edition of Sunrise with the Early Sunrise on-air team.
