Breakfast television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (583 words)
Breakfast television (UK) or morning show (U.S.) is a type of news and entertainment television program, broadcast live in the morning (typically between 6:00am and 9:00am).
Breakfast television programs normally feature regular news briefs and information reports on business and the stock market, and weather and travel (traffic in North American usage)—particularly in the "early half," when the bulk of the workforce demographic is still home.
In the UK, the Independent Broadcasting Authority considered breakfast television so important that it created an entire franchise for it (to go with the regional ITV franchises that broadcast for the rest of the day).
