Sunrise had news, sport and weather updates every 30 minutes throughout the programme, wrapped around interviews with newsmakers, celebrities and people of interest.
ASB Business updates also featured throughout the show, and were hosted by Michael Wilson. The programme was originally hosted by Carly Flynn and
James Coleman, but Coleman resigned in September 2008, hosting his last show on 26 September.
Oliver Driver replaced Coleman as Flynn's co-host on 6 October.
Sunrise was supplemented by the TV3's midday bulletin
3 News at 12 which started on Tuesday, 2 October 2007. In a move to give the show a different feel to rival programming,
Sunrise tended to use both presenters to start discussions with guests, rather than a direct interview. ==References==
