First look at the new and improved Brekky Central
After completing their final broadcast in the legacy Martin Place studio, the Sunrise team have broadcast their first show from the new and improved Brekky Central.
The breakfast program began its first show from Seven’s Eveleigh studios, unveiling the highly-anticipated state-of-the-art studio on Monday morning.
Hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington could hardly contain their excitement as they greeted viewers for the first time from their new desk.
Sunday’s Weekend Sunrise marked the end of an era at the Martin Place studios for both Sunrise and Channel 7 after more than 19 years.
Sunrise and The Morning Show have now joined 7NEWS in Eveleigh, which began broadcasting from its new home in June, while 7NEWS.com.au and 7NEWS Spotlight moved across in May.
The arrival of the Sunrise, Weekend Sunrise and The Morning Show teams means that for the first time in more than 40 years, the entire Seven Sydney operation and all broadcast and operational staff across all departments are now under one roof.
Speaking of the move to Eveleigh, Seven Network Director of Morning Television, Sarah Stinson, said “From today, viewers will see a brighter and fresher look, but the heart of our shows will never change. Our teams will continue to bring the best coverage of news, sport, weather, entertainment and so much more – and we’ll continue to have a laugh as only Sunrise and The Morning Show can.”
Throughout the show, viewers got an inside look to the brand-new set, while Mark Beretta gave the audience a tour of the studio, make-up room and control room.
“Twenty years ago when we moved into Martin Place we did a tour, so now it is appropriate to do a new tour,” the sports presenter explained.
With a Sunrise microphone in hand, Beretts proceeded to walk around the vast new set, sharing details of the layout and curtain that divides Sunrise from the 7NEWS set.
