History

The show premiered on Monday 17 June 2013 and initially aired from 3 pm to 4:30 pm [2] with hosts Sally Obermeder, Monique Wright and Kris Smith. [3]

In its first episode, retired newsreader Ian Ross was the first studio guest of the show and singer Robin Thicke was interviewed in a pre-recorded package. [4] 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. [5] The second episode on 18 June rose to 90,000 viewers, closing the gap on the Nine Network's offering which rated 107,000 viewers. A midnight replay gathered 50,000 viewers. [6]

On 19 August 2013, The Daily Edition was reduced to finish at 4 pm, due to Seven Afternoon News moving to 4 pm. [7] However a week later, The Daily Edition moved to an earlier timeslot of 2 pm to 3 pm allowing the show to go live, instead of being prerecorded by 45 minutes. [8] It stayed in this timeslot until the end of its run.

On 27 January 2014, The Daily Edition received new graphics and a new logo. [9] In January 2015, Kris Smith resigned from the show to focus on his new fitness business. [10] Monique Wright also left in the same year following her maternity leave and returned to focus on her co-hosting duties on Weekend Sunrise . In November 2016, Sarah Cumming took over from Sally Obermeder whilst she was on maternity leave with her second child by surrogate. She remained a permanent co-host upon Obermeder's return from maternity leave in September 2017, but left the show herself in November 2017. In December 2018, Tom Williams resigned from the Seven Network to pursue a career outside of television. Ryan Phelan replaced Williams as co-host from January 2019. The show received a new set in February 2020. [11]

On 19 June 2020 it was announced that despite solid ratings, The Daily Edition would be canceled due to ongoing economic pressures at the Seven Network. Prior to the final episode going to air on 26 June 2020, Ryan Phelan was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault following a complaint made to police by his girlfriend. He was subsequently sacked by the Seven Network on 22 June 2020. [12] [13] Original co-host Tom Williams returned to co-host the final three episodes with Obermeder. [14] The show's time slot was used for The Chase UK, which was already on Seven at 3 pm, since November 2013, beginning 29 June 2020. [12] [15]

<i>Home and Away</i> Australian television soap opera

Home and Away (H&A) is an Australian television soap opera. It was created by Alan Bateman and commenced broadcast on the Seven Network on 17 January 1988. Bateman came up with the concept of the show during a trip to Kangaroo Point, New South Wales, where he noticed locals were complaining about the construction of a foster home and against the idea of foster children from the city living in the area. The soap opera was initially going to be called Refuge, but the name was changed to the "friendlier" title of Home and Away once production began. The soap is due to come to an end in September 2025 due to production costs and viewing figures. The show premiered in what Bateman classified as a ninety-minute telefeature, as opposed to a pilot. Since then, each subsequent episode has aired for a duration of twenty-two minutes. Home and Away has become the second longest-running drama series in Australian television, after Neighbours. In Australia, it is currently broadcast from Mondays to Thursdays at 7:00 pm.
