Sunrise (British TV Programme)
''Sunrise'' is a British weekday breakfast programme which was broadcast on Sky News from 6 February 1989 to 13 October 2019. The programme was replaced by '' The Early Rundown'' (Monday-Friday), '' Kay Burley @ Breakfast'' (Monday-Thursday), and ''Sky News @ Breakfast'' (Friday-Sunday) in October 2019. History At its beginning in February 1989, ''Sunrise'' ran from 5:00am to 9:30am.

These graphics were swiftly withdrawn after viewers and staff alike deemed them too gaudy. ''Sunrise'' has used the channel's graphics ever since. However, it is common for ''Sunrise'' to use a slight variation of some elements, such as in 1997, when it had its own variation on the-then title sequence, and in 2005 when ''Sunrise'' used an individual variation of the Sky News globe. When Sky News relaunched on 24 October 2005, Eamonn Holmes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
