Chan Eu Imm joins the team with the top news stories, while Patrick Fok updates on business news and market reports.

Audrey Ang, executive editor at Channel NewsAsia, said while Primetime Morning celebrated its tenth year on air this year, it was a good time for change, a new look and a new format.

“We want to involve viewers a lot more. There’ll be, for example, a segment where our presenters introduce a topic each morning and engage viewers for their thoughts and opinions, through interactive media,” she added.

Viewers can give live comments and feedback through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Channel NewsAsia’s website.
