[edit] History
The show began in 1996, originally broadcast from Wellington, with its inaugural host Liz Gunn. Production then moved to Auckland in 1997, and the show became closely linked to its next host, Mary Lambie, who hosted the series from 1997 to 2003.
The content of the series through 1996 and 2003 at times was experimental featuring dating segments, Lambie PI, TV talkback, and Lambie's on-set cat Louis.
Production finally moved to TVNZ's Avalon Studios in Lower Hutt in 2004 when it made sense for Avalon studios to have a regular series based in Wellington.
Lisa Manning, Evie Ashton, Jeanette Thomas and Jacqui Hudson have all taken turns in the host's chair.
The two-host format with Brendon Pongia and Sarah Bradley began in 2006. In 2007, the show grew to from a two- to a three-hour weekday show.
The show is typically broadcast live, with the usual exception of advertorials that are embedded in the programme. A ONE News bulletin is inserted into the programme at 10am and 11am.
In July 2007, Steve Gray, the show's long-time film and DVD reviewer (11 years) also started co-hosting the show. However, his contact was not renewed for 2010, with Gray speculating his sexuality may have influenced this decision, saying he'd previously been told by his producer to "tone down your gayness".[1] Gray left Good Morning at the end of 2009.
Former ONE News reporter Hadyn Jones joined the Good Morning team as a new co-host in 2010. But he left the team at the end of 2010, saying he felt news and current affairs was a better fit for him.[2]
In April 2011, TVNZ CEO Rick Ellis announced that as part of TVNZ's plan to sell its Avalon Studios, Good Morning would be moved to a new Auckland studio and Jeanette Thomas and Rod Cheeseman will replace Sarah Bradley and Brendon Pongia as hosts in 2012.[3]
