Breakfast News is a breakfast news programme which first aired on BBC1 on 2 October 1989.[2] The programme was previously known as Breakfast Time. It was planned to launch on 18 September 1989[3] but was held back by two weeks due to technical issues with its new studio.[4] The programme adopted a rolling news format with news summaries every 15 minutes plus weather and regional news every 30 minutes. Other features included 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.[5] The final edition of Breakfast News aired on 15 September 2000[1] and on 2 October 2000 it relaunched as BBC Breakfast.
