83-444: Breakfast News is a breakfast news programme which first aired on BBC1 on 2 October 1989. The programme was previously known as Breakfast Time . It was planned to launch on 18 September 1989 but was held back by two weeks due to technical issues with its new studio. The programme adopted a rolling news format with news summaries every 15 minutes plus weather and regional news every 30 minutes. Other features included
166-441: A "cut-in" segment. During the early morning hours (generally before 10:00 a.m. local time), local anchors will mention the current time – sometimes, along with the current temperature – in various spots during the newscast, while national anchors of shows covering more than one time zone will mention the current time as "xx" minutes after the hour or before the hour; the time and/or temperature are also usually displayed within
249-514: A break for local stations or affiliates to air a brief news update segment during the show, which typically consists of a recap of major local news headlines, along with weather and, in some areas, traffic reports. In the United States, some morning shows also allow local affiliates to incorporate a short local forecast into a national weather segment – a list of forecasts for major U.S. cities are typically shown on affiliates which do not produce such
332-538: A device to gain audience viewers by making their programs appear more exciting. With technologies such as production trucks , satellite truck uplinks, a news reporter can report live "on location" from anywhere where a story is happening in the city. This technique has attracted criticism for its overuse (like minor car accidents which often have no injuries) and resulting tendency to make stories appear more urgent than they actually are. The unedited nature of live television can pose problems for broadcasters because of
415-459: A focus on news headlines (including highlights of events that occurred the previous day, and previews of events occurring that day) and topical discussions. In the United Kingdom, breakfast television typically runs from 6:00 a.m. to between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Television broadcasting hours in the United Kingdom until early 1972 were tightly regulated and controlled by
498-514: A format focusing upon news and political headlines. In 2011, the program was replaced by Starting Point , which was focused more upon topical discussions. After low ratings, Starting Point was replaced in 2013 by New Day . In 2022, New Day was replaced by CNN This Morning , an attempt by new CNN president Chris Licht to emulate the CBS This Morning and Morning Joe formats he had installed during his tenures at CBS News and MSNBC. It

However, it eventually flourished, only to lose its licence at the end of 1992, after being outbid by GMTV . Breakfast television appeared on Channel 4 in April 1989 when it launched The Channel 4 Daily , which
664-412: A full two hours. However, the high rate of turnover among anchors returned. An ill-fated comedic revamp of the show, The Morning Program , debuted in 1987. After that, however, came This Morning , which has so far had the longest run of any of CBS' morning show attempts. This Morning was eventually cancelled 12 years later, being replaced by The Early Show in 1999; The Early Show , in turn, ceded to
747-546: A high rate of turnover among its anchors. In January 1979, CBS launched Morning (titled in accordance with the day of the week, such as Monday Morning ), which focused more on long-form feature reports. This format, however, was relegated exclusively to Sundays after two years, and still airs under the title CBS News Sunday Morning . It was not until 1982 that Captain Kangaroo ended its run on weekdays (before ending altogether in 1984), allowing CBS to expand its morning show to
830-508: A live " special report " in all time zones. Local television stations break into regularly scheduled programming in the event of severe weather warnings or major local breaking news stories that occur within their viewing area. Cable news outlets (such as CNN and Fox News Channel ) air continuous live programming during the day, and air rebroadcasts of earlier live shows during the late night hours, except in cases where breaking news occurs. The PBS NewsHour airs live on PBS stations in
913-490: A long-term morning program. Though it initially tried to mimic Today when it debuted a morning show in a two-hour format in 1954, the show was reduced to one hour within a year in order to make room for the new children's television series Captain Kangaroo . The network abandoned the morning show in 1957. From the late 1960s throughout the 1970s, the CBS Morning News aired as a straight one-hour morning newscast that had

Live television is often used as a device, even in scripted programming to take advantage of these often to great success in terms of attracting viewers. The NBC live comedy/variety program Saturday Night Live , for example, has been on that network continuously since 1975 and airs live in
1079-654: A morning program is typically targeted at workforce with a focus on hard news and feature segments; often featuring updates on major stories that occurred overnight or during the previous day, politics news and interviews, reports on business and sport-related headlines, weather forecasts (either on a national or regional basis), and traffic reporting (generally common with locally produced morning shows on terrestrial television stations serving more densely populated cities, though this has begun to filter down to smaller markets as Intelligent transportation system networks have spread further into smaller communities). Later in
1162-552: A national program; that program was also mainly syndicated to affiliates of The CW and MyNetworkTV (and predecessors The WB and UPN ) as well as several independent stations until its abrupt cancellation in April 2015. Generally since then, outside of a few select CW and MyNetworkTV affiliates, stations usually program Infomercial , a local extension of a Big Three sister station's morning newscast during national morning shows, or as Sinclair Broadcast Group did from July 2017 until March 2019, returned to programming for children under

Some recent examples of live episodic TV series include shows such as Melissa and Joey (2010), Whitney (2011) and Undateable (2014). A live television advertisement was shown for the first time in 40 years to celebrate the arrival of the new Honda Accord in
1328-429: A primary emphasis on business travelers and work commuters. America's Morning Headquarters ( AMHQ ) has served as its main morning show, and was formerly hosted by former Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion . With a shift toward a mix of weather and infotainment programs in the late-2000s, TWC premiered Wake Up with Al —an early-morning show hosted by Today weather anchor Al Roker —in 2009. The show
1411-484: A relaunch with an entertainment-oriented format. Local television stations began producing their own morning shows in the 1970s, most of which mirrored the format of their network counterparts, mixing news and weather segments with talk and lifestyle features; stations in many mid-sized and smaller markets with heavy rural populations also produced farm reports, featuring stories about people and events in rural communities, list of agricultural product exchanges data from
1494-649: A review of the day's newspapers and regular business news updates. From 22 November 1989, following the commencement of televised coverage of the House of Commons , the 8 am to 8.15 am part of the programme was simulcast on BBC2 as part of a new news hour which encompassed a review of the previous day's proceedings at Westminster. The final edition of Breakfast News aired on 15 September 2000 and on 2 October 2000 it relaunched as BBC Breakfast . The programme went through three main visual changes. The initial look lasted until 8 April 1993. The 13 April 1993 revamp saw
1577-555: A skew towards news and lifestyle content similar to its competitors. ABC was a latecomer to the morning show competition. Instead of carrying a national show, it instead adopted the AM franchise introduced by many of its local stations in 1970. KABC-TV 's AM Los Angeles launched the national career of Regis Philbin and was a direct predecessor to his syndicated talk show Live! AM Chicago on WLS-TV would later evolve into The Oprah Winfrey Show . The Morning Exchange on WEWS-TV
1660-538: A station's news department, as they are intended as a vehicle for advertorial content that promotes local businesses and events. Cable news outlets have adopted the morning show format as well. Fox & Friends on Fox News follows a similar format to the networks' morning shows, while MSNBC 's Way Too Early and Morning Joe follow a pundit -driven format with a larger focus on political analysis and panel discussions. Some morning shows have been television simulcasts of talk radio shows, including Imus in

Although the program (named after WPTZ's channel number, 3) was mostly entertainment-oriented,
1992-480: Is known as an overnight graveyard slot . Some local morning newscasts, which formerly had both softer "morning" musical and graphical packages and lighter news, along with feature segments with local businesses and organizations, now resemble their later-day counterparts with hard news coverage of overnight events. Some locally produced morning shows that utilize a mainly infotainment format still exist, most prominently among some large and mid-market stations owned by
2075-583: The Billboard Music Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards have switched annually between delayed and live nationwide telecasts since the mid-2010s as a result of the declining viewership across live event television in the same period. Most local television station newscasts are broadcast live in the U.S. as they are an essential medium for providing up-to-the-minute weather forecasts and breaking news stories. Broadcast television networks in

(which inherited many of the local talk/lifestyle shows originated by Belo – such as Good Morning Texas on Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA – prior to the 2014 acquisition of the latter group by the predecessor broadcasting unit of Gannett ), and often serving as lead-outs of national network morning shows. These shows are not usually produced by

A few of the major Spanish language broadcast networks also produce morning shows, which are often focused more towards entertainment and tabloid headlines, interviews, and features, rather than hard news. ¡Despierta América! is the longest-running Spanish language morning program on U.S. network television having aired on Univision since April 1997. Telemundo had made several attempts at hard news and traditional morning shows, including Cada Dia , and Un Nuevo Día , which launched in 2008 under

By the mid-1960s, this was allocated at seven hours per day (Mondays to Fridays) and 7.5 hours per day (Saturdays and Sundays), thus providing a 50-hour broadcasting limit per week. Certain programming was exempt from these restrictions (schools, adult education, religion, sport); however no time

However, due to financial issues and the economic problems of the 1970s, breakfast television was not considered until later in the decade.

More traditional local newscasts began taking hold in morning timeslots (mainly on stations that maintain their own news departments) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These programs began as half-hour or one-hour local newscasts that aired immediately before the national shows. However, since that time, they have slowly expanded, either by pushing an earlier start time or by adding additional hours on other stations that are owned, managed or which outsource their local news content to that station, thereby competing with
