James Coleman leaving Sunrise

James ColemanIn a shocking announcement, TV3 has revealed James Coleman is leaving the morning show Sunrise effective immediately.

Coleman has presented the show alongside Carly Flynn since it began in October 2007.

"I’ve been with the show for a year now and I feel that it’s an appropriate time to pursue some exciting new opportunities that have arisen within MediaWorks, both in radio and television," Coleman said in a media release.

Will a change of presenter have a positive effect on the shows ratings? One agency puts Sunrise's ratings at around 30,000 while it's rival Breakfast has been receiving 140,000.

Ali Ikram will present the show with Flynn until an announcement regarding a permanent host will be made "in the coming weeks".
