Breakfast television is a type of television programme broadcast live in the morning (typically between 6:00am and 9:00am), with the express purpose of being watched by people getting ready to go to work. A television program is the content of television broadcasting. ...

Format and style

Primarily breakfast television prepares people for the day ahead and thus normally features regular (every half hour or so) news, weather and travel reports. The time in between is filled with more depth on major news stories, features, reviews of the day's papers and often business news, such as information about the stock market. A stock market is a market for the trading of publicly held company stock and associated financial instruments (including stock options, convertibles and stock index futures). ...

Despite these programmes often being produced by news organisations, their style is geared toward popularity and demographic appeal. Traditionally they are fronted by two presenters (one male, one female) on a sofa surrounded by a warmly coloured (but not overwhelming) set.

In the UK, ITV (now ITV1) considered breakfast television so important that it created an entire franchise for it (to go with the regional franchises that broadcast for the rest of the day). This franchise was awarded to TV-am. However, delays to TV-am's launch meant that the BBC were able to launch their own programme, Breakfast Time on January 17, 1983. TV-am, with Daybreak and Good Morning Britain being its flagship programmes, launched just two weeks later on February 1, 1983. TV-am found it hard to survive at first, due to a reliance on advertising income from a timeslot where people were not accustomed to watching television. However, it eventually flourished, only to lose its licence, from 1993 onwards, to GMTV who outbid them.
