Yesterday was Breakfast's 10th anniversary...by the looks of it, it will most likely go on to be the longest on air "brand" of BBC breakfast tv....unless they (highly unlikely) ditch the Breakfast name when they move to Manchester


Yes, 10 years completely trashes the 17 of GMTV.


He said BBC breakfast television, not breakfast television in general Wink


...yet some people (not tv forumers) still call it Breakfast News - including some of the guests who sit down on their sofa.

Out of interest, when the programme was "Breakfast News" was that the name it was more commonly known as among the public, or would some have called that simply "Breakfast" (or a previous name to BN)? Just curious.

Perhaps some people still called it 'Breakfast Time'.

Jackie Bird still refers to is as Breakfast Time on the late Reporting Scotland bulletin, when promoting the next Scottish news updates.

Yes, despite running throughout the entire nineties, loads of people still thought it was called Breakfast Time in 2000, partly because Breakfast News was such a dull format with no appeal to the casual audience. There was a bit on Points of View in about 2007, when Eamonn Holmes was presenting, when people were slagging off Breakfast and he said "It seems that many of you don't think Breakfast News contains quite enough of the news it promises!", neglecting to mention it in fact hadn't been called Breakfast News for several years by that point. And I'm sure the presenter of Sky News Sunrise took no pleasure in helming that feature.

In which case Sky News Sunrise would win, 20 years?
