Sunrise is claiming a “world first” next week broadcasting from five different countries in 5 days.

The show will broadcast from Dubai (Monday), London (Tuesday), New York (Wednesday), Niagara Falls (Thursday) and Cancun (Friday), adding up to a whopping 39,686 km, 7 flights and a total flying time of 48h 22m. Yikes.

“No other TV show has ever attempted this before, and there’s probably a reason,” said Sunrise executive producer Michael Pell.

“Broadcasting three hours live from five countries in five days represents our biggest logistical challenge yet. If we can pull it off, it will make history and provide a spectacular week of viewing.”

Is has also lined up big name stars: Ed Sheeran, Phil Collins, Adam Lambert and Seal. ‘But that’s just the beginning – we’re keeping a tight lid on our full all-star line-up!’ declares a press release.

Kochie, Sam, Nat, Beretts and Eddy will begin the week broadcasting in black tie from the home of excess, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. The hosts and crew, totalling 25 all up, will hit the road when the show wraps each day.

Tuesday’s stop is London in the UK, where we’ll do the show from the banks of the Thames overlooking Tower Bridge.

On Wednesday we head to the US for a whirlwind visit to the city that never sleeps, New York – a fitting destination for the one place we won’t even have time to check into a hotel!

Straight after that it’s on to the spectacular Niagara Falls in Canada for Thursday’s show.

Then Friday, for the final whistle stop on the Sunrise world tour, we host the ultimate party from Cancun, Mexico.

This will be a gruelling challenge for the team, and our cameras will capture every moment of drama, tears and tantrums in a behind-the-scenes style reality show that will air each day on Sunrise. Viewers will be able to see everything that happens on the road – the good, the bad and the ugly!

  1. OMG, this is awesome !!! By the end of the week, they are going to be so wrecked with jetlag, we will finally see the underlying snappyness that exist between them explode. It is going to be tragic car crash TV. I’ve set my PVR already for Thursday and Friday. My money is on Koche absolutely losing it !!!

  2. Usually the concept of doing the show overseas for a week is to showcase that country. Doing 5 countries in 5 days is just a “look at me” deal, and they will fill half the show with their behind the scenes rubbish

  3. I think they’ve forgotten they are a news program. The announcement was more like a ‘guess what – we’re going on another holiday’ surprise. Sunrise has lost it and it’s only a matter of time before Today will be a consistent winner.

  4. Wow that’s a lot of plugs for Flight Centre or whoever coughed up the flights and accoms etc etc here. Sounds like fun , though I’m not sure if stunts like these really work anymore… just because someone has never done it before means…perhaps there’s just no reason to do it ?
