Doyle returned to Seven from maternity leave in a variety of news and presenting roles before being asked to front a revamped "Sunrise" program with Chris Reason, who was later replaced by David Koch. Together, Doyle and Koch under the guidance of Executive producer Adam Boland, surpassed their incumbent opposition and market leaders, "Today" on the Nine Network. They built the program from a virtually zero viewer base to be the leading breakfast television program in Australia and there it remained throughout Doyle's tenure on the program. She was then dubbed the 'Queen of Australian Brekky TV'.
