 During the AFL season "The Morning Show" is not shown on Sundays in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia due to "AFL Game Day" being shown in those states.On 15 December 2014, "The Morning Show" was live to air as the 2014 Sydney hostage crisis occurred across Martin Place from their Channel Seven studio.The program continued to broadcast live pictures from their studio's windows, before all staff (including co-hosts Emdur and Gillies) were forced to evacuate the building, with the network's news coverage switching to the station's Melbourne newsroom where Nick Etchells anchored rolling coverage.
