Breakfast Television (BT) is a Canadian morning television program that is broadcast by Citytv. First premiering in 1989, the program originated as the morning show of the network's original station CITY in Toronto. The program currently consists of a local segment for the Greater Toronto Area airing from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. ET, which airs exclusively on Citytv Toronto. This is then followed by a national portion carried by most other Citytv stations (barring Citytv Saskatchewan, which does not air news programming due to its educational remits); in Toronto, this segment is carried from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET, with scheduling varying in other markets.

The BT format and branding had also been franchised to local morning shows carried by other Citytv stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Montreal, and the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN)—which was owned by former Citytv parent company CHUM Limited (after the sale of CHUM to CTVglobemedia and resulting sale of Citytv to Rogers Media, ASN continued using the brand under license until 2011, when it rebranded as CTV Two Atlantic and the program was retitled CTV Morning Live). In the mid- and late-2010s, the local versions of BT began to either be cancelled or replaced by "hybrid" productions incorporating segments of national interest from the Toronto show. In 2020, the two remaining local versions in Calgary and Vancouver were cancelled by Rogers in preparation for the expansion of its national content.

History

[edit]
Former logo

Breakfast Television premiered on September 5, 1989 with co-hosts Ann Rohmer and David Onley, with MuchMusic VJ Steve Anthony broadcasting from a different spot around the area each day. Kevin Frankish handled news updates from the CityPulse (later CityNews) newsroom (he also handled the overnight updates broadcast from the assignment desk that flowed directly into BT). From 1995 to 2008, BT was simulcast on then-sister station CKVR in Barrie, with VRLand News inserts replacing the CityPulse/CityNews segments. Just as many people within the CityNews team started off on the CHUM phoneline, both Jennifer Valentyne and producer Kevin Forget started by working at "the BT Diner".[1]

Co-host Liza Fromer quit her job at BT in July 2006, days after the birth of her child. Kevin Frankish has blogged that her departure from the show was "on the absolute best of terms". BT has encouraged people to send audition tapes for consideration. During the summer of 2006, a number of CHUM personalities were invited to guest co-host with Kevin Frankish in the search for the next permanent host. The guest hosts included CityNews sports anchor Kathryn Humphreys, health specialist Laura DiBattista, consumer specialist Jee-Yun-Lee, former Citytv weather specialist Nalini Sharma, former reporter Melissa Grelo, etalk correspondent Tracy Melchor, BT's own Jennifer Valentyne, and Star!'s Dina Pugliese. On October 13, 2006, Dina Pugliese became the show's new co-host.

Every August since 2005, BT has organized a "Viewer Appreciation Day", held in the BT parking lot.[2] Gates open at 6 a.m., and closed due to capacity crowds early into 7 a.m. Some people began camping out at BT at 5:30 p.m. the day before the 2006 Viewer Appreciation Day.[2] Breakfast Television has also held other events, such as a successful world record attempt and a Christmas party. The BT Viewer Appreciation Day has since been canceled, with only the Christmas Party remaining.

In 2009, with the acquisition of Citytv by Rogers, Breakfast Television moved from 299 Queen Street West to Rogers' 33 Dundas Street East complex at Sankofa Square (then known as Yonge-Dundas Square).[3][4]

On September 5, 2011, each of the local editions of Breakfast Television across all of the Citytv owned-and-operated stations began starting a half-hour earlier, running from 5:30–9 a.m.[5] In April 2012, the Winnipeg edition reverted to the 6-9 a.m. runtime.

In January 2015, the Winnipeg version of the program was cancelled and replaced with a simulcast of the CITI-FM morning show. In September 2019, the Montreal version of the program was cancelled, while the Calgary and Vancouver versions were re-launched on September 23, 2019 using a "hybrid" format incorporating segments of national interest from the Toronto version. Meanwhile, the Toronto version celebrated its 30th anniversary.[6][7][8]

In March 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Citytv announced that it would expand Breakfast Television to include a new national hour dedicated to coverage related to COVID-19. The hour would air live nationwide at 9 a.m. ET following the Toronto show, pre-empting an hour of BT in Calgary and Vancouver.[9]

In July 2020, Roger Petersen announced that he would leave BT Toronto.[10]

On November 17, 2020, Rogers announced that the local versions of BT in Calgary and Vancouver would be cancelled, as it planned to reformat the Toronto version to include more national content beginning in 2021.[11]

On January 21, 2021, it was announced Sid Seixeiro of Sportsnet's Tim & Sid would become the new co-host of the program on March 10, 2021.[12]

On February 15, 2023, Dina Pugliese announced her departure from BT, and her last show was on February 24, 2023.[13] On September 5, 2023, Meredith Shaw joined BT to replace Pugliese.[14]

In May 2024, Rogers cancelled Citytv's long-running lifestyle show CityLine, and announced that it would be replaced in September 2024 by BT with Tracy and Cheryl, an additional, lifestyle-oriented hour of Breakfast Television co-hosted by former CityLine and ET Canada hosts Tracy Moore and Cheryl Hickey.[15] The new hour did not premiere in September, and the network announced in January 2025 that production would not proceed.[16] On February 10, 2025, Citytv then announced that it had also released Sid Seixeiro and Meredith Shaw, citing a planned "evolution" of the show to be announced "in the coming weeks".[17]

On March 17, 2025, after 16 years at 33 Dundas Street, Breakfast Television would re-locate to a new studio at the Rogers Building, as well as introduce new co-hosts in former CHCH Morning Live anchor Tim Bolen and—in a surprise announcement—the return of Dina Pugliese after a two-year break from the show.[18]

Local versions

[edit]

Vancouver edition

[edit]

CKVU launched a local version of Breakfast Television in 2002. The original hosts of Breakfast Television were Michael Eckford and Fiona Forbes, then they were replaced by Shane Foxman and Beverley Mahood, and since 2005, Simi Sara and Dave Gerry hosted the program, but as of August 13, 2008, they were let go.

On January 19, 2010, the length of BT was shortened from four hours to three hours, and six employees laid off as a result of "severe financial issues" with the Citytv stations.

A new format for Breakfast Television debuted in September 2008, with a new traffic and TransLink reporter. As part of Rogers Media's May 3, 2012 renewal of its affiliation agreement with Jim Pattison Group-owned Citytv affiliates CKPG-TV/Prince George, CFJC-TV/Kamloops and CHAT-TV/Medicine Hat, the three stations will begin simulcasting the Vancouver edition of Breakfast Television on September 1, 2012 as part of an expansion of Citytv programming on the stations, which will follow the program grid of CKVU (with breakaways from the Vancouver program grid for their weekday evening and midday newscasts and other locally produced programs).[20]

On September 5, 2019, Rogers laid off 4 employees from CKVU and placed Breakfast Television on hiatus until September 23. At this time the program was relaunched with a new hybrid format, consisting of a mixture of local content with national entertainment and lifestyle segments produced from Toronto.[6][7][8]

On November 17, 2020, Rogers imposed staff cuts across the country, including cancelling Breakfast Television in Vancouver and Calgary.[11]

Calgary edition

[edit]

CHUM Limited purchased Craig Media in late 2004. The $265 million deal included, among other things, Craig's three A-Channel stations (CKAL-TV in Calgary, Alberta; CKEM-TV in Edmonton, Alberta and CHMI-TV in Winnipeg, Manitoba).

In February 2005, CHUM announced that the A-Channel stations would be relaunched as Citytv stations by that fall. The morning show on the original A-Channel stations, The Big Breakfast, was relaunched as Breakfast Television on August 2, 2005 alongside their re-branding as Citytv. The A-Channel brand was subsequently transferred to CHUM's NewNet stations, whose own morning programs were retitled A-Channel Morning.

As in Vancouver, Rogers made cuts to Breakfast Television in Calgary in September 2019, placing the program on hiatus and re-launching it on September 23 with the same, aforementioned format changes.[6][7][8]

Former presenters

Winnipeg edition

[edit]

CHMI-TV in Winnipeg, Manitoba produced a version of Breakfast Television from August 2, 2005 to January 6, 2015 - the station was purchased along with CKAL-DT in Calgary and CKEM-DT in Edmonton. The final hosts were Courtney Ketchen, Jeremy John, Jenna Khan and Drew Kozub. It was replaced with a simulcast of Wheeler in the Morning—the morning show of sister radio station CITI-FM—starting on January 12, 2015. Khan and Kozub were retained as co-hosts for news and entertainment segments shown during the program on television in place of music.[22]

Former presenters

Atlantic Canada edition

[edit]

From 1992 to 2011, the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) in Atlantic Canada, now known as CTV Two Atlantic, aired its own local version of BT. At the time of its launch, ASN and Citytv (Toronto) were both owned by CHUM Limited, and both channels had a similar overall movies-focused format. The Atlantic edition of BT was similar to the Toronto version, but with a greater emphasis on the culture of the region, as matters such as commuter traffic are typically less of a concern in Atlantic Canada.

ASN was acquired by Baton Broadcasting (predecessor of the present-day Bell Media) in 1997, but was permitted to continue using Breakfast Television as the title of its morning show. In August 2011, the program was re-branded as CTV Morning Live, in keeping with the launch (or relaunch) of local morning shows under the same title on CTV and CTV Two stations in various parts of Canada.

Former presenters

  • Scott Boyd
  • Jill Krop
  • Liz Rigney
  • Kurt Stoodley
  • Cyril Lunney

Edmonton edition

[edit]

On May 7, 2015, Rogers announced the cancellation of Breakfast Television in Edmonton as part of cutbacks.[24] It was replaced by a spin-off known as Dinner Television, a new two-hour evening program hosted by Jason Strudwick, joined by BT personalities Bridget Ryan and Courtney Theriault. The program was a newsmagazine with discussion segments, and did not feature original news reporting. The former BT timeslot was filled by encores of the previous evening's edition of Dinner Television with on-screen news, traffic, and weather information.[24][25][26] Dinner Television was subsequently cancelled in 2017 with the relaunch of local CityNews Edmonton newscasts.[27]

Former presenters

Montreal edition

[edit]

Rogers was granted approval by the CRTC on December 20, 2012 to acquire CJNT Montreal and convert it from a multicultural station to a fully English Citytv station. As part of the approval, Rogers had until September 1, 2013 to produce local programming on the station, which included a three-hour Montreal edition of Breakfast Television.[28]

On June 6, 2013, Rogers announced that the Montreal edition of Breakfast Television would premiere on August 26, 2013, and would be hosted by Alexandre Despatie and Joanne Vrakas.[29] Despatie left the program in 2015, and was succeeded by Derick Fage.[30]

On September 5, 2019, Rogers Media announced the cancellation of Breakfast Television Montreal, effective immediately. Colette Watson, senior vice-president of television and broadcast operations at Rogers Media, stated that the program was "not sustainable".[31]

Breakfast television quickly proliferated globally, with Canada's debuting on in in September 1989 as a locally focused alternative to national networks, emphasizing community , celebrity interviews, and interactive elements that have sustained its popularity for over 35 years. Characteristic of the genre is its informal, magazine-style presentation, often involving a team of charismatic hosts, frequent segment breaks every 15 to 30 minutes, and an emphasis on accessibility to capture fragmented morning s, which has made it a key revenue driver for broadcasters through advertising targeted at daily consumers. Notable programs like on ABC, which launched in 1975 as a direct competitor to Today, and ITV's Good Morning Britain in the UK since 2014, exemplify how breakfast television has evolved to incorporate digital integration, , and diverse representation while maintaining high viewership during peak commuting hours.

Format and Style

Program Structure

Breakfast television programs typically air for 2 to 3 hours, commencing between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. to align with viewers' morning routines. This duration allows for a segmented format that accommodates intermittent viewing, with news updates occurring every 15 to 30 minutes to provide timely information without requiring continuous attention. The structure emphasizes flexibility, enabling real-time insertions for through a rolling approach. Core segments form the backbone of these programs, beginning with opening headlines that summarize major national and international stories, followed by forecasts and reports tailored to local commuters. These are interspersed with transitions to feature stories on , , and current affairs, creating a mix of informational and engaging content that sustains viewer interest during preparation for the day. Weather and updates, in particular, recur frequently—often comprising about 39% of airtime in morning newscasts as of —to address practical daily needs. Over time, breakfast television has evolved from rigid, script-driven formats in its early iterations to more modular blocks that support live interactions, guest appearances, and . This allows for repetition of key segments and to audience flow, enhancing as viewers multitask in the morning. In regions with early work starts, such as some Asian markets, programs adapt with shorter durations—often around 90 minutes—to better fit compressed morning schedules while retaining essential segments like and . Hosting styles, typically casual and conversational, complement this modular structure by facilitating smooth transitions between segments and fostering a sense of companionship for solo viewers.

Presentation and Hosting

Breakfast television employs a casual, conversational hosting style designed to foster an intimate, engaging atmosphere for early-morning viewers. Typically featuring 2-4 anchors who rotate segments to maintain energy and dynamism, hosts engage in light-hearted banter and incorporate viewer call-ins to create a sense of direct interaction and . Set designs in breakfast television prioritize relatability by replicating home environments, often incorporating open kitchens for live cooking demonstrations, comfortable sofas for interviews, and dynamic backdrops that evoke coziness and accessibility. This aesthetic has evolved significantly since the , when static studio setups dominated early broadcasts, to sophisticated multi-camera live configurations that enable seamless transitions and immersive viewing experiences. Hosts emphasize relatability through sharing personal anecdotes, positioning themselves as approachable figures who mirror the viewer's daily life, which enhances audience connection and loyalty. A key innovation in this regard was the adoption of informal attire, eschewing suits in favor of casual , first pioneered by the host of the 1952 Today show to cultivate a relaxed, non-corporate tone. Technical elements further support this informal morning vibe, with soft used to create a warm, inviting ambiance that eases viewers into the day, complemented by upbeat music cues strategically deployed to energize and combat grogginess. Program structure influences host transitions by allowing fluid shifts between anchors during these cues, maintaining momentum across segments.

History

Origins and Early Programs

The origins of breakfast television trace back to the post-World War II era in the United States, when television ownership surged from fewer than 10,000 sets in 1946 to over 17 million households by 1952, driven by economic recovery and technological advancements that made receivers more affordable. This expansion created opportunities for new programming formats, heavily influenced by the popularity of radio morning shows that had entertained commuters and homemakers since the with a mix of news, weather, and light banter. NBC executive Sylvester "Pat" Weaver, drawing directly from his radio background, envisioned adapting this audio tradition to television to capture early risers and challenge radio's dominance in morning routines. Prior to national efforts, local stations conducted experimental morning broadcasts in the late 1940s and early 1950s, though these were limited and unsustained. For instance, Philadelphia's WPTZ launched a 90-minute early morning program in November 1950 hosted by comedian , featuring improvised sketches and variety acts to fill the untested time slot before standard daytime programming. These pilots highlighted the novelty of morning TV but faced technical constraints and minimal audience reach, as most stations signed on later in the day with test patterns or farm reports rather than full entertainment formats. No coordinated national initiative emerged until NBC's breakthrough. The genre's foundational program debuted on January 14, 1952, with NBC's Today, the world's first sustained national morning show, airing for two hours from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. ET and hosted by , a former radio personality known for his relaxed broadcasts. Today initially struggled with low viewership, as only about 34% of U.S. households owned televisions in 1952, and industry skeptics dismissed morning broadcasts as impractical, with labeling it "the latest plan for electronic bondage dreamed up by the sponsor-ridden networks." Weaver's concept started with a radio-inspired structure—news updates interspersed with casual conversation meant as background audio—but Garroway shifted it toward a visual format by incorporating on-screen graphics, live demonstrations, and the addition of chimpanzee sidekick in 1953 to boost engagement and family appeal. This hybrid news-entertainment model pioneered by Today—blending hard news segments with lifestyle features, interviews, and lighthearted segments—established the blueprint for breakfast television, influencing subsequent programs by prioritizing accessibility and variety to suit viewers' morning habits. Despite early hurdles, the show's innovative approach helped normalize morning viewing, paving the way for the genre's growth.

North American Development

In the United States, breakfast television expanded significantly in the mid-1970s with the launch of ABC's (GMA) on November 3, 1975, hosted by David Hartman and , positioning it as a direct competitor to NBC's long-dominant Today show. Unlike Today's emphasis on in-depth news, GMA introduced a lighter format featuring celebrity interviews and entertainment segments to attract a broader , marking a shift toward more engaging, personality-driven content in morning programming. This rivalry intensified ratings battles throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with Today maintaining overall dominance despite GMA's occasional surges, as evidenced by Today's consistent lead in household viewership metrics during the period. ABC further escalated the competition in 1987 by launching on November 30, anchored by Harry Smith and Kathleen Sullivan, which aimed to blend hard news with lifestyle elements but struggled to break into the top tier, settling into third place behind the NBC and ABC offerings. In , breakfast television developed alongside U.S. influences but with a focus on national unity and regional relevance. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) introduced morning news programming in the 1970s, including national segments tied to The National and evolving regional formats that emphasized local weather, traffic, and community stories, laying the groundwork for decentralized morning content. Meanwhile, the private CTV network debuted on September 11, 1972, hosted initially by Percy Saltzman and Carole Taylor, offering a mix of news, interviews, and lifestyle features that ran for over four decades until its conclusion in 2016. This program quickly became a staple, expanding from 90 minutes to longer blocks by the 1980s and incorporating syndicated elements for broader appeal, reflecting Canada's bilingual and multicultural mandates. The 1980s brought key events that diversified n breakfast TV, including the rise of cable integration, which allowed networks like to offer continuous morning news blocks through Headline News (launched in 1982 as CNN2), providing 24-hour rolling updates that complemented traditional broadcasts. Ratings competitions remained fierce, with Today holding a commanding lead—averaging millions more viewers than rivals through the —while syndication advancements enabled local affiliates to customize segments with regional inserts, enhancing viewer retention. Technological shifts further propelled growth: the widespread adoption of in the transformed visual appeal, making morning shows more vibrant and accessible to families upgrading sets. By the , VCR ownership surged, allowing time-shifting of programs and boosting overall viewership for network morning slots by enabling playback for non-real-time audiences. These developments solidified as a cornerstone of daily routines across by the end of the decade.

European Expansion

The expansion of breakfast television across Europe gained momentum in the 1980s, beginning with the United Kingdom's pioneering efforts. The introduced Breakfast Time on 17 January 1983, establishing Europe's first regular morning broadcast service on from 6:30 a.m., featuring a mix of news, interviews, and segments presented in a relaxed studio setting. This initiative was quickly challenged by the commercial , which launched Good Morning Britain on ITV just two weeks later, on 1 February 1983, from a purpose-built studio in Camden. The intense rivalry between the and ITV drove format innovations, including casual sofa-based discussions, live audience interactions, and a blend of serious with entertainment to capture early risers. These British developments served as a model for continental Europe, where similar programs emerged amid growing media liberalization. In France, the public broadcaster France 2 debuted Télématin on 10 January 1985, airing weekdays from 6:55 a.m. and uniquely combining in-depth news bulletins with cultural discussions, book reviews, and culinary segments to foster an intellectual morning routine. The show's enduring format reflected a public service emphasis on education and information. In Germany, the advent of private broadcasting in the mid-1980s spurred the launch of Sat.1's Frühstücksfernsehen on 1 October 1987, a commercial morning magazine that integrated news, weather, and celebrity interviews to compete in the nascent cable and satellite market. The public ARD network responded with Morgenmagazin on 13 July 1992, offering a more structured public service alternative focused on regional news and current affairs. Italy's public broadcaster Rai 1 entered the fray with Unomattina on 22 December 1986, positioning it as a counter to emerging private morning schedules by prioritizing national news, health advice, and family-oriented topics in a two-hour block starting at 6:00 a.m. In the Nordic region, Sweden's commercial TV4 launched Nyhetsmorgon (later known as Gomorron) on 14 September 1992, introducing a lively mix of news and talk that balanced commercial appeal with journalistic depth. These programs highlighted a divide between models, which stressed informative and culturally enriching content, and commercial ones, which leaned toward entertainment and advertising to build audiences. The proliferation of breakfast television in during this period was propelled by late-1980s deregulation, including national reforms and the European Union's 1989 Television Without Frontiers Directive, which harmonized cross-border broadcasting rules and encouraged private channel expansion by easing ownership restrictions and content quotas. Initial viewership for many shows remained modest—TV-am, for instance, averaged under 500,000 viewers in its first year amid technical glitches and public skepticism—but adoption surged in the with the widespread availability of , which boosted accessibility and competition across borders.

Global Proliferation

In the 2000s, breakfast television underwent significant modernization worldwide, driven by technological advancements and the expansion of cable and digital platforms. The format's adoption accelerated in emerging markets, where local broadcasters adapted the light-hearted, informative morning show style to cultural contexts, often incorporating regional news, weather, and lifestyle segments. By the 2010s, integration of social media became a key trend, with programs encouraging viewer interaction through live tweets and online polls starting around the mid-2000s as platforms like Twitter gained popularity. This shift enhanced audience engagement, allowing real-time feedback during broadcasts. In the region, the format saw robust growth, exemplified by Australia's Sunrise on the Seven Network, which launched on January 17, 2000, and quickly established dominance in ratings, securing the top spot for 20 consecutive years by 2023 through its mix of news, entertainment, and celebrity interviews. In , NHK's Ohayō Nippon, airing since 1965, received a digital overhaul in the early 2000s aligned with Japan's nationwide transition to in 2003, improving production quality and accessibility via high-definition feeds. These developments reflected broader regional efforts to leverage technology for wider reach in urban and suburban audiences. Latin America's embrace of breakfast television from the late 1990s featured Spanish-language programs influenced by U.S. models like Univision's , which popularized a vibrant, multicultural morning format that inspired adaptations across the continent. Mexico's Hoy on debuted on August 3, 1998, evolving into a staple with segments on , cooking, and current affairs that drew millions daily. Similarly, Chile's Buenos Días a Todos on TVN premiered on March 9, 1992, becoming a long-running success by blending national news with content, maintaining high viewership through consistent innovation. In and the , the 2000s marked the entry of dedicated morning shows amid growing television penetration. South Africa's e.tv launched Sunrise on March 31, 2008, as a program focusing on , , and community stories, filling a gap left by earlier short-lived attempts at breakfast programming. Nigeria's NTA introduced AM Express in 1999, a daily magazine-style show covering topics from across the country, hosted by prominent figures like Yinka Craig. The 2010s saw mobile streaming emerge as a pivotal factor, with adoption surging—internet penetration in grew from less than 1% in 2000 to about 13.5% by 2011—enabling on-demand access to morning shows in rural and emerging markets where traditional TV infrastructure lagged. By 2025, the (2020–2022) had accelerated the shift to multi-platform delivery, with many programs offering live streams on apps and to reach remote and fragmented audiences. Globally, by the 2020s, the format had extended into 24/7 cable news extensions, such as Fox News Channel's , blending morning with round-the-clock coverage, though exact counts of dedicated programs vary, with industry observers noting widespread presence in over 100 countries by 2020 based on broadcaster expansions.

Content Types

News and Current Affairs

Breakfast television news segments typically feature hourly bulletins delivered by studio anchors who summarize key stories, drawing from international wire services such as for timely global updates and incorporating reports from on-site correspondents to provide localized context. These bulletins prioritize brevity, with individual stories often limited to 2-5 minutes to maintain viewer engagement during the fast-paced morning routine. Weather and traffic reports are integral staples of these news blocks, presented through dynamic graphics, animated maps, and feeds from live cameras to offer practical, real-time information for commuters. The use of satellite technology for live updates became more widespread in U.S. television during the , enabling remote news gathering and transmission. To balance factual reporting, breakfast television often includes opinion segments such as panel discussions where experts analyze daily headlines, fostering informed debate while adhering to journalistic standards. Ethical guidelines emphasize sensitivity for morning audiences, particularly by avoiding graphic content that could distress viewers starting their day, ensuring material contributes meaningfully without unnecessary sensationalism. From the 2010s onward, these news components evolved to incorporate multimedia elements, including web clips from social platforms and contributions from citizen journalists, enhancing coverage with diverse, user-generated perspectives integrated into traditional broadcasts.
