In January 2016, Sam was appointed as the new weather presenter on "Sunrise" replacing Edwina Bartholomew - where he has remained ever since. Mac is known for his unique style of presentation. A combination of self-deprecating humour and unpredictable stunts have seen him successfully stamp his creativity on the position. Notable achievements in the role include re-releasing "Strawberry Kisses" with Nikki Webster, launching his cat Coco's modelling career with the release of "Pussweek" magazine, and in 2018 completing an Australia A-Z trip of towns around the nation.
