The Daily Edition is an Australian afternoon entertainment show on the Seven Network on 17 June 2013.[1][2] The show is presented by Sally Obermeder and Tom Williams, and airs between 2pm and 3pm on weekdays.[3][4][5]
History
The show features a combination of live breaking news, as well as live interviews with various personalities and entertainment updates.[1] The show premiered on Monday 17 June at 3:00pm with hosts Tom Williams, Sally Obermeder, Monique Wright and Kris Smith.[3]
In its first episode, newsreader Ian Ross was the first studio guest of the show and singer Robin Thicke was interviewed in a pre-recorded package. The first episode rated 71,000 across the metro audience, well behind rival program Nine News Now at 136,000 viewers. Its midnight replay was watched by 80,000 viewers.[6] The second episode on 18 June rose to 90,000 viewers, closing the gap on Channel Nine's offering which rated 107,000 viewers. A midnight replay gathered 50,000 viewers.[7]
In August, The Daily Edition moved to an earlier timeslot of 2-3pm allowing the show to go live, instead of being prerecorded by 45 minutes.[8]
When the show first started out there was a fixed music theme used regularly throughout the show. In September 2013, the theme was scrapped with more popular recent music being now used as bumpers.
In January 2015, Kris Smith resigned from the show to focus on his new fitness business.[9]
