The Seven Network is thrilled to announce David Woiwod as the new co-host of Australia’s favourite weekend breakfast show, Weekend Sunrise.
The seasoned broadcaster returned from the US this week, where he has been based for the past five years as 7NEWS US Bureau Chief. From Saturday, he takes on this new role alongside Monique Wright.
A familiar face to Weekend Sunrise viewers, Woiwod was Sunrise’sresident Melbourne reporter for four years prior to his stint in the 7NEWS Los Angeles bureau.
Woiwod said: “Five years on the road as a foreign correspondent covering the world’s biggest events has prepared me for the major stories, early hours and bad coffee that 3am starts demand – I’m excited and ready
“In all seriousness, this is a thrilling full circle moment for me. I’m beyond excited to return to the Sunrise family and to keep telling the stories that matter most to Australians.
“Mon is the most talented, generous, hilarious and wickedly smart person to work with and I look forward to riding her coattails until the bosses notice,” he said.
“Aussies lead busy lives, so to be invited into their homes on precious weekend mornings is a privilege not lost on me.”
Seven’s Director of Morning Television, Sarah Stinson, said: “We’re delighted to welcome David back to the Sunrise family and can’t wait to begin this exciting new chapter with him at the helm of Weekend Sunrise.
“David’s depth of experience, strong work ethic and authentic warmth make him the perfect choice for this role.
“He’s a passionate storyteller, he delivers news with integrity, and he has an outrageous sense of humour. Viewers are in for an entertaining ride!” she said.
“But all of that is insignificant to the awe I felt witnessing his moves on the dance floor at a Sunrise Christmas Party a few years ago. I even think he crowd-surfed at one point. Massive respect. I can’t wait to spend weekends with such a legend.”
