"Wake Up! WA" was a breakfast television show broadcast in Western Australia. It aired on Access 31 until the station's demise in 2008.

Overview

"Wake Up! WA" is a forum for members of the Western Australian community to discuss the latest matters affecting West Australian life. Guests are often representing local charities, community, or sporting organisations. In addition, the show updates viewers on the local news, sport, weather, fuel prices, and current affairs.

In 2007 the show was hosted on Mondays and Tuesdays by Edwina Nattrass and Matt Hern. During the rest of the week Anita Tassone hosts alongside Jason Weeks, a regular host since the show's inception.

History

Previously known as "Wake Up Perth!", the show began broadcasting in September 2005. In early 2006, "WAke Up Perth!" was nominated for four Antenna Awards, winning the award for Best New Producer. "Wake up! WA" also picked up the Antenna Award for Best News and Current Affairs Program at the 2008 awards.

By mid 2006, in less than a year the show surpassed over 300 original episodes, joining only a few locally produced shows that have ever reached this mark this quickly. As of 2008, over 500 episodes of the show had been produced.

On August 6, 2008 Access 31 ceased transmission, leaving the fate of the program up in the air. Producers of the show will weigh up alternative broadcast options. [ [http://www.wakeupwa.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164 Access 31 shuts doors in shock move] ]
