Sunrise is the breakfast programme on Sky News, shown between 6am and 10am daily. It was first aired on 6 February 1989. Since October 2016, the programme has been presented by Sarah-Jane Mee, alongside Jonathan Samuels. The editions broadcast from Friday to Sunday are presented by Stephen Dixon and Isabel Webster.
At its beginning in February 1989, the programme ran from 5am to 9:30am. In 1991, it became one of only two shows across Sky's 20-year history to have its own individual graphics, the other being flagship bulletin Live at Five. These graphics were swiftly withdrawn after viewers and staff alike deemed them too gaudy. The show has used the channel's graphics ever since. It is common however for Sunrise to use a slight variation of some elements, such as in 1997, when Sunrise had its own variation on the then title sequence, and in 2005 when Sunrise used an individual variation of the Sky News globe.
When the channel relaunched on 24 October 2005, Eamonn Holmes and Lorna Dunkley became the regular presenters of the weekday editions of the show, with Steve Gaisford and Emma Crosby fronting the weekend edition of the programme. Jacquie Beltrao provided sports updates during the week.
In January 2007, Dunkley moved to Sky News' weekend coverage. Holmes was then joined by new signing Charlotte Hawkins on Sunrise.
In March 2014, Hawkins left Sky News to join Good Morning Britain; her replacement as Sunrise co-host was Isabel Webster, who took up her post later that month.
Previously, weekend editions were presented by Mark Longhurst and Gillian Joseph. In 2012, Stephen Dixon replaced Longhurst on Sunrise's Friday - Sunday programmes, with Longhurst transferring over to present the weekend evening slot. Charlie Thomas presents sports updates.
