Breakfast is not always on time, I have notice a few times that they have run past the toth with Local News. I think it is hit/miss sometimes depending on what has happened in the previous hour.

I take it Four Poofs and a Piano have been axed? They've not been on for weeks.

Four Poofs and a Piano on Tumblr posted:
After three jolly months on ITV’s Daybreak, our contract came to an end but we’re looking forward to discussing other projects with them and hope to be back on Daybreak now and then during the coming year.

The 9am TOTH routine is deliberatly not at 9:00 on weekdays on BBC One as the programme is in their 'light entertainment' mode. The local opt-out is usually at about 09:02.

They advise people to move to the BBC NC at 08:30 if they want rolling news (usually with shots of the presenters in embarassing make-up poses just prior to transmission from N6).

All other TOTH/Half-hour are usually on time!

Anyone has any details or access to the viewing figures for this last month or any time recentley. Would be nice to know if they have hit the 1 million mark.

Sadly, they've been nowhere near. The ratings have been more in the 0.7m ball park than 0.8m recently.

Could be wrong but I thought GMTV hovered around the 1m mark during its final year, dipping below at the death due to the summer holidays?

I have just watched the opener to the last ever GMTV show with Andrew Castle and Emma Crosby. It's surprising how many headlines there were, how "newsy" and professional it was compared to Daybreak. The critics said that it was too "light-hearted" compared to BBC Breakfast and that is clearly where Daybreak is going wrong, because I have just reminded myself how much news content GMTV had compared to Daybreak.
