First Edition is an Australian breakfast television news program broadcast on Sky News Australia. The program is currently co-hosted by Brooke Corte and Kieran Gilbert. The program is one of four breakfast news programs in Australia, competing with Sunrise, Today and ABC News Breakfast. The program airs seven days a week. It broadcasts between 5 AM and 8 AM (however, until 7 AM on weekends).
The program is unusual for the fact that since 2014 it is broadcast from two locations, with Corte co-hosting from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park, and Gilbert hosting from studios in Parliament House, Canberra. Additionally, the program also transitions into political commentary program AM Agenda at 8:30am AEST, which Gilbert hosts solo.
Weekend editions of the program were trimmed with the launch of Saturday Edition and Sunday Edition from 9 July 2016.Amy Greenbank, Tom Connell and Leanne Jones serve as substitute anchors of the program.
