Format

"Sunrise" is presented like many other breakfast television programs and has news updates every 30 minutes throughout the program. "ASB Business" updates also feature throughout the show hosted by Michael Wilson. Sunrise also features many segments for general interest. The program was originally hosted by Carly Flynn and James Coleman, however Coleman suddenly resigned in September 2008, hosting his last show on 26 September 2008. Oliver Driver is to replace James Coleman as Carly Flynn's co-host from 6 October 2008. "Sunrise" is supplemented by TV3's new midday bulletin "3 News at 12", which first went to air on Tuesday, 2 October, 2007. Roving Reporter Josh Heslop also presents the weather every morning from a different location, usually around Auckland. The All Stars section of the show features every day after 7.30am and sees two guest commentators discuss current affairs with Flynn and Driver. In a move to give the show a different feel to rival "Breakfast", "Sunrise" now features Hollywood gossip from Nelson Aspen every morning.
