Seven names Sarah Stinson as The Morning Show’s new EP
Seven has appointed veteran current affairs producer Sarah Stinson as executive producer of The Morning Show.
Stinson is currently chief of staff on Today Tonight, which she first joined as a producer in 2005. Before that she was producer on Nine’s A Current Affair from 2000 to 2005, having first joined the network as a production assistant in 1998.
Her appointment comes after The Morning Show’s executive producer Michael Pell stepped up to EP of Sunrise ahead of Adam Boland’s departure next month.
The morning show is hosted by Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.
Stinson said:
“Working with Larry and Kylie, alongside a brilliant creative team, on a programme I love is a dream come true,” she said. “The Morning Show has been a spectacular success and is the market leader in its slot. I’m keen to make my contribution to a winning formula.”
Seven’s director of news and public affairs Peter Meakin said: “She has done a wonderful job on Today Tonight and has proved herself a team player. This is an appropriate reward for her expertise and hard work.”
Yesterday saw The Morning Show rate an average metro audience of 148,000 according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.This was ahead of an average of 113,000 for Kerri-Anne Kennerley on Nine and 84,000 for Ten’s The Circle.
Meanwhile, Today Tonight beat its rival A Current Affair by 1.207m to 989,000.

George must be a disgruntled employee or someone who didn’t make it in the business. By all accounts Sarah Stinson has a fantastic reputation in the industry – thanks to nothing but years of hard work, loyalty and professionalism. She doesn’t suffer fools either

I noticed Mumbrella, that you have edited out the negative posts regarding the annoucement of The Morning Show’s new EP, where is the freedom of speech, why bother having a comment section if you will pick and chose what people can see?

Hi Justin (or “Jane” as your IP address suggested you were a few minutes ago).
Our comment moderation policy allows for criticism of ideas and executions. We don’t tend to allow personal criticism, particularly anonymously, unless it is well reasoned and based on publically available information.
Freedom of speech does not necessarily mean allowing people to use multiple names to attack someone.
