The Morning Show is an Australian morning talk show that premiered on the Seven Network on 18 June 2007. The show airs between 9am and 11:30am weekdays and follows Seven's breakfast news program Sunrise, with both programs closely interlinked.
The show's format is similar to Sunrise, and consists of a mix of news, entertainment and information along with audience interaction through email, SMS and talkback. The show also features live and pre-recorded advertorials similar to those featured in rival shows Mornings and The Circle. The show is produced by the same team as Sunrise and broadcast live at the same Martin Place studio.[1]
When the show first started out there was a fixed music theme used regularly throughout the show. In 2010, the theme was scrapped, with more popular recent music being used nowadays as bumpers.

[edit] Regular Segments
[edit] 2007-2009
The show begins with a live cross from the Sunrise team in Martin Place to Larry and Kylie inside the studio. They begin by asking the daily question, which is the question they want viewers to email in their responses. The first segment also contains the "Clip of the Day", and one or two live crosses or interviews regarding the news stories of the day.
Musical performances take place at roughly 9:50am. Guests can be of a smaller profile than those that appear on Sunrise. Unsigned artists are also encouraged to send in a demo CD for the potential opportunity to perform.
Each day at around 10am, in a similar style to Sunrise's 'All-Stars' segment, two commentators are featured as part of 'The Jury' on The Morning Show.
- Monday: journalist John Mangos and commentator Suzanne Mostyn
- Tuesday: radio announcer and comedian Amanda Keller and radio announcer Brendon 'Jonesy' Jones
- Wednesday: radio announcer Chris Smith and journalist Helen McCabe
- Thursday: radio announcer Adam Spencer and journalist Kate Cox
- Friday: actress Lynne McGranger and comedian Tom Gleeson
A regular segment follows at 10:20am. On Mondays, senior citizens Vince & Betty visit the studio to give out "life advice" to viewers that have called in. On Thursdays, "Beat The Stylist" takes place, where viewers are given the chance to compete against a fashion stylist at dressing models for a certain occasion. Media personalities act as judges to decide the winner. On Friday's Anna Musson gives her opinion on all things related to "Modern Manners." Jo Lamble also regularly joins Kylie & Larry on the couch with one or more of the viewers for a one-on-one personal counselling session. The Segment is called "The Counselling Couch".
An international cross to a celebrity gossip correspondent follows at 10:30 am. The show finishes with Larry & Kylie saying goodbye outside in the plaza.
Generally, eight advertorials are shown throughout the show.
[edit] 2010
The Morning Show changed some of its regular segments in 2010, although most content is similar to previous content.
The show still begins with a live cross from the Sunrise team in Martin Place to Larry and Kylie inside the studio, and the pair talk about the biggest news stories that morning, with guests in the studio and/or on satellite link. The 'daily question' and 'clip of the day' segments were both scrapped, although clips and viewer emails are still shown on occasion during the broadcast.
'The Jury' segment still airs at about 10am, however some panelists have changed:
- Monday: Jason Hodges (Better Homes and Gardens) and commentator Suzanne Mostyn
- Tuesday: radio announcer and comedian Adam Spencer and radio presenter Sami Lukis
- Wednesday: radio announcer Mike Goldman and journalist Helen McCabe
- Thursday: varies
- Friday: actress Lynne McGranger and comedian Tom Gleeson
Vince & Betty no longer appear, and segments 'Beat The Stylist', 'Modern Manners', 'The Counselling Couch' and 'Psychic Challenge' all occur occasionally. At approximately 10:40 am, Celebrity gossip is discussed with a studio or satellite correspondent, usually affiliated with an Australian newspaper. Ann Sanders continues to present news updates at 9:30 am and 10:30 am. The show finishes with Larry & Kylie saying goodbye in the plaza.
Regular correspondents on the show include Seven News US correspondents Mike Amor and Angela Cox, Hollyscoop's Diana Madison and X17's Tomm Taylor. Eight advertorials are still shown throughout the show.[citation needed]
On October 13, 2010, for the first time since the show first went to air in 2007, The Morning Show did not air on a weekday during the ratings season, due to Sunrise covering the ongoing 2010 Copiapó mining accident.
During September to November, finalists from the second season of The X Factor have also performed.
[edit] 2011
The Morning Show changed some of its regular segments in 2011 - Flashback Friday and Store Wars being the most popular.
The show begins with a live cross from the Sunrise team in Martin Place to Larry and Kylie inside the studio, and the pair talk about the biggest news stories that morning, with guests in the studio and/or on satellite link. The 'daily question' and 'clip of the day' segments were both scrapped, although clips and viewer emails are still shown on occasion during the broadcast.
The program celebrated it's 4th birthday with a big Outside Broadcast with live acts, viewer audience and regular guests at Star City. Brian McFadden and Damien Leith both appeared.
'The Jury' segment still airs at about 10am, with varied panelists each day.
'Beat The Stylist', 'Modern Manners' and 'Psychic Challenge' segments all occur occasionally. At approximately 10:40 am, Celebrity gossip is discussed with a studio or satellite correspondent, usually affiliated with an Australian newspaper. Ann Sanders continues to present news updates at 9:30 am and 10:30 am. The show finishes with Larry & Kylie saying goodbye either in the studio or out in the plaza.
In March 2011, it was announced that Larry Emdur would earn a reported $800,000 per year for his work on The Morning Show. This came after the Nine Network pursued Larry to join the network, he refused and in turn the Seven Network gave Larry a substantial pay raise.
[edit] Summertime
For the first time in the summer non-ratings period of 2011-12, a pre-recorded highlights show was broadcast, featuring notable segments shown in the year past for the first two weeks of January. Normally, the show is put on hiatus for the whole month of January to make way for Seven's tennis coverage, but in 2012 the first two weeks of tennis were shown on 7TWO, and a highlights program, similar to those on competitor shows was produced.
