The show featured a combination of live breaking news, as well as live interviews with various personalities and entertainment updates,[1] and aired between 2 pm and 3 pm on weekdays. ## History The show premiered on Monday 17 June 2013 and initially aired from 3 pm to 4:30 pm[2] with hosts [Sally Obermeder](/source/Sally_Obermeder), [Monique Wright](/source/Monique_Wright) and [Kris Smith](/source/Kris_Smith).[3] In its first episode, retired newsreader [Ian Ross](/source/Ian_Ross_(newsreader)) was the first studio guest of the show and singer [Robin Thicke](/source/Robin_Thicke) was interviewed in a pre-recorded package.[4] The first episode rated 71,000 across the metro audience, well behind rival program *[Nine News Now](/source/Nine_News_Now)* at 136,000 viewers. Its midnight replay was watched by 80,000 viewers.[5] The second episode on 18 June rose to 90,000 viewers, closing the gap on the [Nine Network](/source/Nine_Network)'s offering which rated 107,000 viewers. A midnight replay gathered 50,000 viewers.[6] On 19 August 2013, *The Daily Edition* was reduced to finish at 4 pm, due to *Seven Afternoon News* moving to 4 pm.[7] However a week later, *The Daily Edition* moved to an earlier timeslot of 2 pm to 3 pm allowing the show to go live, instead of being prerecorded by 45 minutes.[8] It stayed in this timeslot until the end of its run. On 27 January 2014, *The Daily Edition* received new graphics and a new logo.[9] In January 2015, [Kris Smith](/source/Kris_Smith) resigned from the show to focus on his new fitness business.[10] [Monique Wright](/source/Monique_Wright) also left in the same year following her maternity leave and returned to focus on her co-hosting duties on *[Weekend Sunrise](/source/Weekend_Sunrise)*. In November 2016, [Sarah Cumming](/source/Sarah_Cumming) took over from [Sally Obermeder](/source/Sally_Obermeder) whilst she was on maternity leave with her second child by surrogate. She remained a permanent co-host upon Obermeder's return from maternity leave in September 2017, but left the show herself in November 2017. In December 2018, [Tom Williams](/source/Tom_Williams_(presenter)) resigned from the [Seven Network](/source/Seven_Network) to pursue a career outside of television. [Ryan Phelan](/source/Ryan_Phelan) replaced Williams as co-host from January 2019. The show received a new set in February 2020.[11] On 19 June 2020 it was announced that despite solid ratings, *The Daily Edition* would be canceled due to ongoing economic pressures at the Seven Network. Prior to the final episode going to air on 26 June 2020, [Ryan Phelan](/source/Ryan_Phelan) was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common [assault](/source/Assault) following a complaint made to police by his girlfriend. He was subsequently sacked by the Seven Network on 22 June 2020.[12][13] Original co-host Tom Williams returned to co-host the final three episodes with Obermeder.[14] The show's time slot was used for [The Chase UK](/source/The_Chase_(British_game_show)), which was already on Seven at 3 pm, since November 2013, beginning 29 June 2020.[12][15] ## Presenters Presenter Role Tenure Sally Obermeder Co-host 2013–2020 Ryan Phelan Co-host 2016–2020 Tony Auden (Mondays–Wednesdays) Weather 2016–2020 Kris Smith Co-host 2013–2014 Monique Wright Co-host 2013–2015 Tom Williams Co-host 2013–2018, 2020 Jane Bunn (Thursdays and Fridays) Weather 2016–2018 ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Knox, David (3 June 2013).
