I produce the 5 a.m. hour of Daybreak and my focus is viewer-experience. What's going to be the story that people talk about in the office, tweet about or hit rewind on DVR because they missed a detail. I have a passion for news and quality television; I aim to bring viewers a show that informs, entertains and keeps them coming back. The 5 a.m. has seen substantial ratings growth and double-digit share increases.
