Weekend Sunrise has announced its hosts for the new Saturday edition will be Larry Emdur and Samantha Armytage.
The surprise announcement means Sunday co-host Andrew O’Keefe won’t be adding Saturdays to his already-heavy roster. The Melbourne-based presenter has been known to work up to three different shows at once for Seven.
Reading the News will be Sarah Cumming while Simon Reeve fronts Sport.
Seven’s Saturday edition will take on Weekend Today on the day the Olympics begin in Vancouver.
To air from 7 – 9am, the move pushes long-running Saturday Disney out to a new 9am start.
Why do we have to listen to Larry and all is ravings, he is so thick, dosent have any intelligent comments to make and is just plain embarrassing, im surprised he is still sitting there working alongside lovely partners who have to endure his stupidity, im not watching anything when he is on the screen
administration, surly you can see what a dead weight he is, or is it maybe because he is cheap to obtain
Please take Saturday Sunrise off the TV. Larry and Sam can do it on Sunday if she wears a bigger shirt. Also please please get rid of Prue. OMG she looks awful her plastic features are horrid.
Larry and Sam,
This morning I turned over channels to the Nine Network when your team began slagging Tiger Woods. The man said he had a long way to go and if you were informed at all about addictions, you would have heard that comment and been a little more compassionate. I won’t be watching your show for a while lest I feel the need to throw up in a bucket in response to your flippant and shallow remarks.
I think im absoultly sick of sunrise i mean ok its fine on mon to fri but i love watching saturday disney on 7:00am then stupid sunrise has stufffed it up just because they want their stupid news show on every Single day of the week it is ridiculus and i hate it saturday is now on at 9:00am but i leave to go play netball it is so crap and i hope it doesnt last
No Andrew O’keefe is doing Sundays
Does that mean Andrew is not doing the Sunday morning show?
(I hope not) I’m just not a fan.
I like Larry & Sam … wish them all the best!
I’ll be watching
Just watch Today! :’)
At least Seven hasn’t thought of reviving Family Double Dare!
Don’t forget: Saturday Disney Sunrise, brought to you by the SnugWow, a Snuggie made of ShamWow’s!
Great to see Sunrise on Saturdays now they have done heaps of Saturday Editions now it is time Sarah Cummings also while filled in for Nat in the mornings over the summer did the weather in the evening on Sydney’s Seven News while Mark Berreta did the sport great way to start the new decade
coppying 9 again i see. sunrise is struggling and they need more than a set revamp
Keeping Samantha is a great idea cause she’s soo damn hot!!
Larry Emdur is not so bad.It is a Shame He is over at Seven Now.What We Would like to see is Him Return to Nine and a New Price is Right weeknights at any cost(The Charlie Sheenathons repeats won’t last forever)
That’s enough to make you turn over and go back to sleep
Great news glad Andrew didnt get the saturday role,Larry will be great his a really nice guy and great host looking foward too having him in this role,but again Melbourne fill in newsreader Rebecca Maddern is over looked again for a regular role shes a great newsreader and has been filling in for many years on the 4.30pm news,and here in melbourne over summer and she even fills in Sam on Weekend Sunrise,but seven doent give her a regular role not fair on her,Sarah only just starting newsreading over summer and she gets a regular role so quickly again its the sydney team instead of melbourne team.
Am I the only one that feels as though they’re being bombarded by news coverage? I can’t stand David Koche and Melanie Doyle on weekdays. Channel nine isn’t much better with their copy cat crew and un-funny/try hard Saturday crew.
I can understand having a morning news show on a Sunday morning, but the only choice of programming on a Saturday morning for people who don’t yet have access to digital TV are the ABC and Ten. If I wake up early on a Saturday, watching the news is the last thing on my mind.
Surely their is something better they can do with the time slot?
Saturday Sunrise will have an advantage over Weekend Today anyway cause I’m pretty sure there is no WT for the duration of the Olympics.
I still pefer Today, and they are copy Today Weekend.
OMG I absoltuely can not stand Larry Emdur
Well…if this absolutely *must* go ahead then I suppose that the lack of Andrew O’Keefe is a good thing.
Kuttsywood, sounds a bit like The Krusty the Klown show hosted by Kent Brockman…
Yay! Gives me a reason to get up early on a saturday!!!
Great to see Sarah Cumming as newsreader, she is a real asset as proven by her filing in for Nat over summer. I presume Sharyn is still on Sundays?
Kuttsywood, I am 100% for your idea. I would so watch that show. Saturday Disney Sunrise. That would be so cool.
it will be starting at 7 and go for 2 hours? They should have started at 6 til 8 (to have an ‘advantage’ over Today) and let Saturday Disney Start at 8.
And Larry Emdur as host? He’s gonna be a busy boy. Morning show 5 days a week (12.5 hours a week) and now Saturday Sunrise for 2 hours
Why can’t they just combine the two programs…
Saturday Disney Sunrise, all your favorite toons, and the news all together on a Saturday morning!
