KGMB9 Sunrise, a Solid Start
After watching KGMB9’s new morning newscast, Sunrise, for this past week, I’d say they’re off to a solid start. I appreciate the effort of fighting their way into an already crowded morning news crowd amongst KHON, KITV, and KHNL. I called Sunrise professional and boring because I had high expectations for this show featuring an experienced staff of Steve Uyehara, Grace Lee, Howard Dicus, Ramsay Wharton, and Jeff Booth.
But then again, this is the morning news which isn’t exactly breaking new ground on a fast pace. So I think Sunrise held their own with the other stations in their first week on the air and can succeed.
The staff was still getting comfortable with each other, but after watching Steve Uyehara’s profile followed by the Hunks of KGMB, you know they are on their way.
I may not permanently switch from watching the KHON Morning News, but I’ll flip to Sunrise for a look.
