The program replaced long time morning program Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton, which finished in late 2005, after Bert Newton returned to the Nine Network. [1] Sandy Paterson was the executive producer of the program. [2] Throughout its run the show had struggled behind competing programs The Morning Show and Mornings with Kerri-Anne , averaging around 50,000 viewers an episode. [3]

Demise

In August 2009, Reyne announced that he will be leaving 9am at the end of the year, after 4 years with the show and Ten. On 7 December 2009 Watkins also confirmed she had also quit the show, with Ten programmer David Mott announcing a brand new concept for the timeslot next year. [4] It is unclear whether Watkins has left the network altogether. The final ever show aired on Friday 11 December 2009 due to a strong competition with Seven's The Morning Show . 9am Summertime concluded on 5 February 2010. The following week after the demise the 9am website was removed.

On 16 January 2010, it was announced The Circle would be the replacement show, which started on 9 February 10am-12pm following the new time slot for the Ten Morning News hour 9am-10am. [5]

Segments

9am included a mix of lifestyle, cooking and interview segments along with advertorials. The advertorials were for products from home-shopping companies such as Danoz Direct and Global Shop Direct, and were mostly presented by Marianne van Dorslar & Ann-Maree Biggar.

Regular segments and their hosts included:

  1. Family Matters: John Irvine
  2. Your Garden: David Kirkpatrick
  3. Fashion, style, beauty and home: Dhav Naidu
  4. Health and Fitness: Christi Malthouse and Craig Harper
  5. Entertainment: Benjamin Hart
  6. Your Pets: Julie Summerfield
  7. Your Health: David Spencer
  8. Music: Ian Dickson
  9. Cooking: Chef Arianne Spratt
  10. Your Place: Ann-Maree Biggar
  11. Lifestyle Travel: Shannon Watts

At the start of the program Kim Watkins read the news headlines, and at 10.15am Ten News presenter Natarsha Belling presents a news update. At the end of each show, Reyne used his trademark sign-off - using a different adjective in place of "nice" as in "Have a nice day" (for example, "Have a colossal day").
