Neil Mitchell and Peter Daicos join Seven’s Sunrise – More in Melbourne, more for Melbourne.
As the year revs up, the Seven Network’s Sunrise remains steadfast in its commitment to covering the news and issues that matter most to Victorians.
Australia’s #1 brekky program is excited to announce the Sunrise family is growing as Nat, Shirvo and the team welcome two household names who have created unforgettable Melbourne moments on the sporting field and the airwaves and helped shape the city’s unmistakable culture and community over decades.
Starting Thursday, iconic broadcaster Neil Mitchell returns to your mornings each week on Sunrise, to dissect and debate the biggest news, politics and the everyday issues impacting the state with his trademark honesty and opinion.
Collingwood idol Peter Daicos laces up as Sunrise’s inaugural AFL Insider for the 2024 season, drawing on all the “magic” of his 250-game career with the Magpies and now inspiring the next generation of talented footballers with his sons Josh and Nick Daicos paving the way.
Neil Mitchell said:
“I have months of pent-up opinion ready to burst out and I am ready to share it with the Sunrise audience.
“I truly am delighted to be back with the Sunrise family after some years away.
“Something I have really missed in my brief time away from morning radio is the opportunity to have an opinion and argue it. You may agree, or not, but believe me I am ready to go!
“I am also keen to be unashamedly Melbourne, which is who I am. Much happens in Melbourne that sets the place for the nation, and I hope to be on top of that.
“I have known Nat for a long time and worked with her often. It will be terrific to return to that. And I have watched Matt from afar – look forward to stirring him up occasionally.
“Best of all, I understand Sunrise has a very loyal and engaged audience and I am very keen to speak with them, even to represent them when relevant. Yes, there will be opinions and debate and news explained. But there will be fun too. There should always be fun in life, and I am sure we will manage that.”
Peter Daicos added:
“This year promises to be an unpredictable and exhilarating season of AFL football and I am so delighted to be joining the talented Sunrise team for some insightfully different footy discussion and plenty of fun for season 2024.”
Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr said:
“One of the things I think people are craving right now is the ability to say what they think and not be shot down in flames for it.
“As he’s shown over the decades, Neil Mitchell is certainly not afraid to share his opinions.
“We warmly welcome Neil and Peter Daicos into the Sunrise extended family and if we all disagree, great! Should be more of it.”
