Speaking of Canadian morning shows, the anchor of Global News Morning in British Columbia is Sonia Deol, formerly of BBC London and the BBC Asian Network:

Yes, in that situation local breakfast shows make more sense but I don't think it is that common in countries with multiple time zones, though in the case of post-show breaking news I think the US versions do go into live mode in the West.

Most US National breakfast programmes are tape delayed except in ET. For example, The Today Show generally only airs live in the Eastern Time Zone at 7 AM. It is shown on tape delay at 7 AM in the five other time zones located in the United States. If there is breaking news the day of the taping, The Today Show will broadcast a live West Coast edition. The live feed will play out for the first hour then return to the taped East Coast version. Local affiliates will be given two five minutes time periods during the hour to break to local news. These occur at :25 and :55. Generally, local weather updates are given during these times.
Most of the national breakfast shows are preceded by hours of local news broadcasts, some starting as early as 4am.

Breakfast Television (BT) on Citytv started of course as a local show on Citytv Toronto eventually as the network spread across Canada local versions were created, most continue to air after many of the City stations' dumped their local newscasts, the breakfast shows proved to be popular viewing.

This was an interesting morning format; VTV's Vancouver Breakfast in 1998, before the affiliation changes that rocked Vancouver (the station is now a part of CTV):

Slightly odd how CTV's 'Your Morning' show isn't really national.

CTV's Your Morning for all intents and purposes is a national program. The program is simulcasted on the national CTV News Channel to supplement viewers primarily west of Ontario. CTV stations west of Ontario airs a local breakfast program. Those in Ontario eastward will view Your Morning on their CTV stations.

And in terms of timezones? Pfff, it was an afterthought by CTV. I guess those in the Pacific time zone will never get to see Your Morning! Laughing

It was an interesting time period in Canadian broadcasting, very tumultuous. Never seen anything like it. They were trying to stave off Citytv and Moses Znaimer (Citytv Creator) and the copied the Citytv/CityPulse format. It was a blatant rip off. Citytv eventually launched a Newnet station in nearby Victoria and Citytv Vancouver a few years later. Canadian tv was almost like the Wild West back then.

Looks a bit like BBC's Singapore studio. Very BBC in any case!

A bit of fun from the Netherlands' election - presenters on Denmark's TV2 News have a crack at delivering the news in Dutch.




Leading to Dutch broadcasters responding in kind:



See also NOS's effort.
Hazimworks, NYTV and WW Update gave kudos
