==History==
Original presenters included [[Mark Durden-Smith]], [[Colin Murray]], [[Kirsty Gallacher]], [[Edith Bowman]], [[Tom Binns]], [[Chris Rogers (newscaster)|Chris Rogers]], [[Liz Bonnin]] and [[Henry Bonsu]].

The show launched on 29 April 2002 with a voiceover announcing "now on 4 a brand new way to wake up on Channel 4". There were no titles, just music in a high-tech studio with large video screens and a devoted news wall. Chris Rogers presented the top 6 stories before handing over to Kirsty Gallacher for the sport.   

A pilot<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arqa6zlUHWk |title=The First 25 {{!}} 16th July 2024 {{!}} The Chris Moyles Show |date=2024-07-15 |last=The Chris Moyles Show On Radio X |access-date=2024-07-16 |via=YouTube}}</ref> episode was filmed in real time with [[Chris Moyles]]. During one of the commercial breaks, Chris was asked by a woman from the production company what he thought of the show and he said that it was "just a bit boring" but understood it was what the production company wanted for the show.

Its viewing figures did not meet initial expectations{{cn|date=August 2024}}, and a variety of format changes were made to try to boost ratings. The programme began to model itself on ''The Big Breakfast'', with the presenters sitting as a couple in front of French windows, games, competitions, crew involvement and outside broadcasts with the likes of [[Mel Giedroyc]] and [[Sue Perkins]] drafted in. This was despite ratings increasing during its coverage of Big Brother 4 where over 500,000 tuned in.{{cn|date=August 2024}}

Its first run underwent many presenting changes and producer departures as there was little interest in the show. Fans of ''The Big Breakfast'', who had reignited their interest in the show in 2002 when it returned to form with the arrival of [[Lisa Rogers]] for the last 3 months, disliked the new show over its opening comments of there not been any whooping crew members where the previous breakfast incumbent seemed to thrive upon.{{cn|date=August 2024}}

Many{{who|date=August 2024}} criticised the show for its lack of titles, over reliance on a news ticker and six pack of news and unfunny features like "search for a nobody", "strap me down" and "lip service". The news ticker would often show stories on a rolling basis alternating between news, sport, weather and travel. Presenters would share items between them and have specialisms Chris with news, Edith with entertainment etc. The show was trounced in the ratings by GMTV.{{cn|date=August 2024}} Sebastian Scott, the executive producer who was present at the launch, said that the expectation was for viewers to not watch it at length but to watch it in small increments.{{cn|date=August 2024}}
 
Various presenter changes occurred after it was announced that Mark Durden Smith, Colin Murray, Liz Bonnin, Chris Rogers and Kirsty Gallacher would leave.

This happened in various stages throughout the latter part of 2002. The final episode of the year saw a reworking of [[Shakin' Stevens]] ''[[Merry Christmas Everyone]]'' with [[Girls Aloud]] and ''[[Popstars The Rivals]]'' competitors and celebrities singing on the video. The famous blinking clock effect accompanied by a snowflake and a Christmas theme.

The show’s music changed on 1 October with the clock changing from white to yellow and the music soundtrack sounding more enlivened and more uplifting.

===Relaunch===
The show was relaunched on 20 January 2003 with presenters [[Iain Lee]] and [[Edith Bowman]].  Mel and Sue took over the final half-hour from 8:30.<ref>{{cite web |title=Comedy duo join new Rise line-up |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2666381.stm |website=BBC News |date=16 January 2003}}</ref> <!--The first episode featured Claire Goose and Darren Brown as well as popular TV chef Jamie Oliver. Many{{who}} remarked that it was the new Big Breakfast as it is set in Bayswater with two presenters sitting in front of a door which leads into South London where there are shops very often shown in the foreground. The first show had the clock conflicting with on screen graphics and the show faced the indignation of a zero rating. In the first episode of 2003, the hosts showed us around the new set which had a live audience, staff making teas and coffees and breakfast items, an area where the guests could have make up and chill out before they were called on. The graphics were slightly different in that they showed different parts of London, the titles featured the city, a pathway with two illuminated tiles, Arsenal's Highbury Stadium, a train station with a man standing outside and then it ending with Bayswater where the show was filmed and the RI:SE logo being displayed before a fade cut into the mornings show --> Bowman was later replaced by 2002 ''[[Big Brother (British TV series) series 3|Big Brother]]'' winner, [[Kate Lawler]]. Zora Suleman provided half-hourly news updates. [[Dougie Anderson]] was a stand-in presenter and also often reported from a record shop near the studio, as well as helping with the daily television review.

During the [[Iraq War]] the show was shortened to allow for Channel 4 News coverage to be shown.{{cn|date=August 2024}} In the Summer of 2003, Mel and Sue left RI:SE and the show was solely presented by Iain, Kate and Dougie.

RI:SE gave extensive coverage to reality TV formats including [[Big Brother (British TV series)|Big Brother]], [[Pop Idol]] and [[The Salon (TV series)|The Salon]]. In Summer 2003, RI:SE launched a contest for a member of the public to become the "reality correspondent", a competition won by "Kitty"{{vague|date=January 2014}}, who remained with the show until the final episode.

Big Brother monitor "James"{{vague|date=January 2014}} joined Iain Lee and Kate Lawler, after winning a competition to give updates on events in the house and conducting live interviews with the latest evictees. One episode featured PJ{{vague|date=January 2014}} who joined Iain and Kate after the first housemate - Anouska - was evicted from the [[Big Brother (British TV series) series 4|Big Brother 4]] house. James also accompanied Kitty on the final show.
