History
The show premiered on the Nine Network on 6 February 2012 as Mornings and features interviews, live music performances and segments on cooking, lifestyle, fashion and beauty, entertainment and a wide range of other topics. Mornings replaced the long-running Kerri-Anne.
In January 2015, Nine relaunched Mornings with a new set and logo. Wendy Kingston and Georgie Gardner to fill in for Sonia Kruger whilst she was on maternity leave. Kingston presented on Monday and Gardner presented from Tuesday to Friday. They presented until Kruger returned on Monday 27 April.
On 5 May 2015, Mornings was extended to 11.30am. As a result Nine's Morning News was moved to 11.30am.
In January 2016, Nine announced that Mornings would be rebranded as Today Extra to become an extension of the network’s breakfast show Today. The show was moved to the Today studio, while keeping its focus on light entertainment and news updates.
