Sunday Night is an Australian news and current affairs program produced and broadcast by the Seven Network. The program airs on Sunday nights at 8:30 pm, and is hosted by Seven News Sydney presenter Melissa Doyle.
History
Sunday Night is a newsmagazine show, featuring a mix of feature stories, investigative reports, forums and interviews. Unlike other newsmagazine programs, the show initially featured a live studio audience, which has since been removed. The show premiered on Sunday 8 February 2009.
Initially, each episode of the show was immediately followed by a companion program, The All in Call, a live question and answer session broadcast on Seven HD and online. The separate program was later axed, and the discussion was integrated into the final segment of Sunday Night.[1] With the removal of the studio audience the All In Call no longer features in the program.
Mike Munro initially co-hosted the show with Chris Bath but stood down as co-host to concentrate on reporting in April 2011.
Alex Cullen and Mark Ferguson are fill-in presenters.
It was announced in June 2015 that Melissa Doyle will succeed Chris Bath as the show's host from the beginning of August.[2]
