Breakfast

Handling

Breakfast was an Australian breakfast television program which aired live on Network Ten on weekdays, from 6:00am to 8:30am with a weekly highlights program Saturdays at 11:00am. It had a format consisting of news, sport and weather updates every half hour from 6:00am to 8:00am with a mixture of debate, current affairs and regular segments in between.

The show originally ran from 6:00am–9:00am on weekdays preceding The Circle before being shortened to a two-and-a-half hour show, as part of the Mornings on Ten lineup.

The show was presented by Paul Henry and Kathryn Robinson, along with broadcast meteorologist Magdalena Roze who presents weather updates, while News & Sport updates are presented by various Network Ten journalists.

The show differs from other breakfast shows by being mostly unscripted. The program replaced Ten's previous line-up of Ten Early News and children's programming including Toasted TV, Totally Wild, Scope and Wurrawhy. This is not Network Ten's first foray into the breakfast program market, with the network airing Australia's first breakfast program, Good Morning Australia, from 1981 to 1992.

Although the show was originally planned for a 27 February 2012 starting date, due to the political crisis Breakfast began on 23 February 2012. During the London Olympics, and following the axing of The Circle, Breakfast adjusted its format. On 12 November 2012, it was announced that Breakfast would end on 30 November 2012, this will be the show's 197th and final edition.
