Yo. In honour of David Koch’s 20 years at Sunrise, here’s a Flashback to a musical performance that must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

Never mind “Where is the Love?” ….where is the musicality in this clip?

  2. I still watch Sunrise but still think these were the heydays of the show. The show really changed breakfast TV. The Today show is now more Sunrise than the old Today. Seven should get Mel backs a fill in. She had a great rapport with both Kochie and Nat and is missed.

  3. I havent watched SUnrise since 2011 but I believed that this video was released in 2006 (according to YT). When I listened to this SUnrise version of Where is the Love, I found it to have very good meaning – the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Bali Bombings in 2002, the Iraqi War in 2003.

  4. It’s been almost 20 years, so very happy to be corrected on this, but I’m pretty sure they made this in response to Steve Liebman (who was hosting Today at the time) becoming the face and voice of the Howard government’s ‘Be Alert, Not Alarmed’ campaign in relation to potential acts of terrorism in Australia. It was a time only a few years after 9/11 and Bali bombings and peoples were on edge….That of course does not excuse the fact that it’s totally cringe to watch now!
    With all the years that have passed, it’s hard to really appreciate just how much Kochie, Mel and Adam Boland upended breakfast television. I’m pretty sure I even still have my Sunrise ‘family’ card somewheres that viewers could request back in the day.
