Breakfast was an Australian breakfast television program which aired live on Network Ten on weekdays, as well as a weekly highlights program on Saturday 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 presenting line-up consisted of Paul Henry and Kathryn Robinson, along with broadcast meteorologist Magdalena Roze who presented weather updates, while News & Sport updates were presented by various Network Ten journalists. Before being made redundant at Ten, Deborah Knight participated in Breakfast's audition.
The show differed from other breakfast shows by being mostly unscripted,[citation needed] replacing Ten's previous line-up of Ten Early News and children's programming including Toasted TV, Totally Wild, Scope and Wurrawhy.[2][3] This was Network Ten's second foray into the breakfast television 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.[1] During the 2012 Summer Olympics, and following the axing of The Circle, Breakfast adjusted its format.[4] On 12 November 2012, it was announced that Breakfast would broadcast its 202nd and final show, on 30 November 2012.[5][6]
