First Edition is an Australian breakfast television news program broadcast on Sky News Australia. The program is currently co-hosted by Brooke Corte and Kieran Gilbert. The program is one of four breakfast news programs in Australia, competing with Sunrise, Today and ABC News Breakfast.[1] The program airs seven days a week.[2]
The program is unusual for the fact that since 2014[3] it is broadcast from two locations, with Corte co-hosting from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park, and Gilbert hosting from studios in Parliament House, Canberra.[1] Additionally, the program also transitions into political commentary program AM Agenda at 8:30am AEST, which Gilbert hosts solo.[4]
History
The program is one of the longest running formats still broadcast on Sky News, having been on-air since at least 2004.[5] Previous presenters of the program have included John Gatfield,[5] Michael Willesee, Jr.,[6] Vanessa Grimm[6] (née Trezise), Amber Sherlock,[7] Leigh Hatcher,[4] Susanne Latimore,[4] Nina Stevens[4] (neé May) and Terry Willesee.[4]
Special editions
On 7 November 2014, the program was broadcast from a Sydney Airport aircraft hangar, following a recent partnership deal between Sky News and Qantas.[8] As part of the arrangement, Corte presents in-flight news bulletins on Qantas flights.[1]
