Sunday Night was an Australian news and current affairs program produced and broadcast by theSeven Network. The program aired on Sunday nights and was hosted byMelissa Doyle.[1] It premiered on Sunday 8 February 2009.
Sunday Night was anewsmagazine show, featuring a mix of feature stories, investigative reports, forums and interviews. Unlike other newsmagazine programs, the show initially featured a live studio audience. Additionally, early episodes of the show were immediately followed by a companion program,The All in Call, a live question and answer session broadcast onSeven HD and online. The separate program was later axed, and the discussion was integrated into the final segment ofSunday Night.[2] The axing ofThe All In Call also saw the removal of the studio audience, while later seasons dropped the final segment discussion altogether.
Mike Munro initially co-hosted the show withChris Bath but stood down as co-host to concentrate on reporting in April 2011.Alex Cullen andMark Ferguson have been fill-in presenters.Melissa Doyle succeeded Chris Bath as the show's host from August 2015.[3]
In September 2019, theSeven Network announced that the show would be axed due to poor ratings and a changing television landscape.[4] The last new episode aired on 24 November 2019, though repeats continued to be aired into January 2020.
