Michael Pell replaces Adam Boland at Seven’s Sunrise helm

Seven has announced Michael Pell as the new executive producer of Sunrise, confirming the departure of its director of morning television Adam Boland.

The network said Pell, currently EP of sister shows Weekend Sunrise and The Morning Show, will take the helm in November.  

Boland’s departure – although he will remain contracted to the network in a consultancy role – will be on a high.  Earlier in the year, Nine’s Today closed the gap, but recent weeks saw Sunrise stretch its lead to some of the biggest margins in the last two years.
