The AM Show: Making Mornings More Awesome From February 13
The AM Show: Making Mornings More Awesome From February 13
The AM Show arrives on television, radio and
digital devices from 6am on Monday the 13th of
February.
Join Duncan Garner, Amanda Gillies and Mark
Richardson as they bring you a whole new way to wake
up.
Duncan says he’s fizzing about getting this
multi-platform extravaganza on the airwaves. “Expect the
fast-paced, informative and entertaining start to the
morning you’ve grown to love on TV3 and RadioLIVE - but
we’ll be a bit different too. We’ve kept the best
bits, made some exciting changes, and we think New Zealand
is going to love it.”
“I can’t wait. We’ve got
a fresh new look for the set, a new sound and a new vibe -
and we want to share it with you - February 13 can’t come
soon enough. In the meantime, we thought we’d give
everyone a sneak peek at our set.”
Mark Richardson
has been coaching his co-hosts on early starts. “The
results are encouraging,” says Mark. “We’ve been
practising as a team, and Duncan and Amanda are still
managing to be clever and coherent, despite the 2:30am
alarm. Having a great crew to banter with around the desk
certainly helps.”
Joining the on-air team is a
dedicated group of Newshub reporters who, supported by the
wider Newshub team, will provide the latest news and
coverage. The AM Show’s reporting team includes Aziz
Al-Sa'afin, Ollie Richie and Shannon Redstall in Auckland,
Alice Wilkins in Christchurch and Mitch McCann in
Wellington.
Aziz brings his unique approach to The
AM Show as the show’s social media voice, regularly
covering content and opinions from the web, and giving the
audience a direct line of feedback to the
show.
Executive Producer of The AM Show Sarah Bristow
says, “We’ve closed the door on the social media bunker
and are working to expand the show’s engagement with our
audience on social media and beyond from inside the studio.
Aziz lives and breathes social and is the perfect person to
tell us what will be filling our feeds on a daily
basis.”
