Today Extra is an Australian morning talk show, currently hosted by Sonia Kruger and David Campbell. The show airs between 9:15am and 11:30am weekdays and highlights of the week on Saturday mornings.

History

The show premiered on the Nine Network on 6 February 2012 and features interviews, live music performances and segments on cooking, lifestyle, fashion and beauty, entertainment and a wide range of other topics. In January 2016, Nine announced that Mornings would be rebranded as Today Extra an extension of the network’s breakfast TV flagship, Today. The show received a refurbished set, while keeping its focus on light entertainment and news updates to kick off the network’s daytime programming.

Today Extra replaced Mornings, which replaced Kerri-Anne. All three shows have aired in the same time slot.

Ratings

Today Extra was known to trail behind its Seven Network rival The Morning Show,[1] however in October 2012, Today Extra (at the time known as Mornings) beat The Morning Show for the first time since its launch earlier in February.[2] On Australia Day 2015, Mornings had a major relaunch and rated the highest it has ever seen with an audience greater than 200,000. Throughout 2015 Mornings increasingly gained on its rival, frequently "beating" The Morning Show throughout the course of the year.

In March 2016 Today Extra secured the ratings victory, and since then has held the top spot against Channel 7's The Morning Show[3].
