Mel Doyle to leave Sunrise, replaced by Sam Armytage
Mel Doyle is to leave Seven’s Sunrise, breaking up a 12 year on air partnership with David Koch that took the show to number one.
Weekend Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage will step up as co-presenter. Seven says Doyle will remain with the network in a primetime, news-based role.
According to today’s announcement from Seven, Doyle will take a two week break before travelling to the UK to cover the Royal birth. She will then return to the Sunrise couch “for several weeks” until the launch of her new program.

Congrats Mel! I’m really going to miss watching her. Mel is the glue of Sunrise.
Hope Sam goes well, she really lacks the warmth that Mel brings to my mornings
“…I am unbelievably excited about the new challenges ahead.”
Why is her excitement not believable? She seems to be suggesting the new challenges don’t warrant her professed level of excitement.
Congratulations to Mel. You will be missed……but why didn’t Nat get the gig?
we will miss mel a lot on sunrise she is nice person

It has been an absolute pleasure to watch you every morning Mel. You will be dearly missed.
