BBC Breakfast

Pre-''BBC Breakfast'' history

Breakfast Time was the first BBC breakfast programme, with Ron Neil as producer. and was presented by Frank Bough, Selina Scott and Nick Ross. The atmosphere of the set was intended to encourage a relaxed informality; the set mimicked a living-room rather than a studio, with red leather sofas, and Bough and Ross wearing jumpers and open-necked shirts. Ron Neil sought to make it part of the viewers' morning routine, with cookery, exercises, and (to some controversy) an astrologer Russell Grant. *Breakfast Time'' lasted 150 minutes, initially being transmitted between 6:30am and 9:00am, before moving to a 6:50am to 9:20am slot on 18 February 1985.

Ron Neil departed from the programme and on 10 November 1986 a more conventional news focus was introduced featuring a news desk, presenters in suits and a shortened broadcast that began at 7:00am and ended any time between 8:30am and 8:55am. Presenters included Kirsty Wark, John Stapleton, Jeremy Paxman and Sally Magnusson.

On 2 October 1989, the programme was renamed BBC Breakfast News and followed a more authoritative tone with a set modelled on the conventional desk style of news bulletins, starting at 6:30am. The first edition was presented by Nicholas Witchell and Jill Dando. The business news coverage, launched with the new programme, was extended to an hour-long programme in its own right, called "Business Breakfast" in January 1993, beginning at 6:00am, while BBC Breakfast News started at 7:00am. In April 1993, both programmes moved to the then sixth floor N2 studio in a set used for the One, Six and Nine O'Clock News, using the new computer generated virtual set. A further revamp occurred in June 1997, when the programme was renamed as Breakfast News.

''BBC Breakfast'' history

On 2 October 2000, the merging of the separate breakfast programmes on BBC One and BBC News 24 into one programme, aired on both channels, called Breakfast started, with the first show hosted by Sophie Raworth and Jeremy Bowen. The studio was replaced with a new set on 30 June 2003. Since 3 April 2006, the BBC News channel has returned to its traditional format (starting at 8:30am) while Breakfast continues on BBC One until 9:15am. In April 2008, BBC News 24 was renamed "BBC News", as part of a £550,000 rebranding of the BBC's news output, complete with a new studio and presentation.

On 2 May 2006, Breakfast moved into studio N6 at Television Centre with other BBC One news programmes that required a larger set design that included walls of Barco video screens. The original screen scenes of cirrus clouds on a blue sky were changed as a result of viewer comments that 'it looked too cold'

On 28 January 2008, Breakfast returned to the TC7 studios, where Breakfast Time had been based following its move from the BBC Lime Grove Studios. On 2 March 2009, Breakfast relaunched with a new set and studio background.

In July 2010, the BBC announced that Breakfast was moving to their new studios in Salford Quays. The BBC announced that with the April 2012 move to Salford, co-presenter Sian Williams and sports presenter Chris Hollins preferred not be included in the move to the North of England. Williams left Breakfast on 15 March 2012.

On 12 December 2011, the first of several presenter changes was announced. Louise Minchin would, with the studio move to Salford, join the other main presenters of BBC Breakfast: Bill Turnbull, Susanna Reid and Charlie Stayt. Carol Kirkwood, on 26 March 2012, would remain in London presenting weather. Sports presenters Mike Bushell and Sally Nugent and business presenter Steph McGovern would locate to Salford. The first Breakfast edition from Salford occurred on Tuesday 10 April 2012. London-based newspapers have reported extensive criticism of the BBC move, but a decrease in audience did not occur, with the retention of an approximate average of 1.5 million viewers.

The 2012 Summer Olympics prompted BBC Breakfast to temporarily broadcast from a temporary studio near the Olympic Park in Stratford. During the Games, former presenters Sian Williams and Chris Hollins also returned to lead the morning programme, in addition to Bill Turnbull, Charlie Stayt, Louise Minchin, and BBC Sport presenter Hazel Irvine. The show ended its temporary London return with broadcasting from the BBC News channel's studio on the morning following the closing ceremonies before rebroadcasting from Salford the next day.

On 19 March 2013, BBC Breakfast updated its "lower thirds" to match the graphics and fonts used by the rest of BBC News since the previous day. The clock was consequently moved to the lower right side of the screen.

In 2014, Susanna Reid left the programme to join a revamped Good Morning Britain on ITV. Naga Munchetty became a regular presenter, hosting with Charlie Stayt from Thursday- Saturday every week, after a number of years as a relief presenter, including regularly presenting Sunday's programme. On 23 July 2014, the show went on location again, this time to Glasgow to showcase highlights from the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In the hours leading up to the opening ceremony, Carol Kirkwood reported from Celtic Park. The day after the end of the Games, Charlie Stayt presented from Glasgow Cathedral in the lead up to ceremonies marking 100 years since the start of World War I.

In February 2016, Bill Turnbull left the programme and was replaced by Dan Walker. For the 2016 Summer Olympics, the programme was again renamed Olympic Breakfast and was anchored by Salford and Rio broadcasting from the BBC Sport studio.

In September 2019, Naga Munchetty was initially ruled to have breached the BBC's guidelines by criticising US President Donald Trump for perceived racism. That July, while presenting BBC Breakfast, Munchetty had taken issue with Trump's comments telling his opponents to "go back" to the "places from which they came". Munchetty said: "Every time I have been told, as a woman of colour, to go back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism. Now I'm not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean." Several public figures, including Lenny Henry and Adrian Lester, signed an open letter asking the corporation to revisit its ruling against her. It was later reported in The Guardian that the complaint was also made against her co-host Dan Walker, but his comments were not the focus of the BBC's executive complaints unit (ECU) investigation, due to the complainant's follow up complaint focusing solely on Munchetty. Later that day, the Director-General of the BBC Tony Hall overturned the decision after looking into it personally.

In June 2021, Louise Minchin announced she would be leaving BBC Breakfast, 20 years after she joined the programme. Her final show was on 15 September 2021. From 20 September, Sally Nugent co-hosted alongside Dan Walker. On 27 October 2021, Nugent announced that she would permanently join the programme as the new Monday-Wednesday presenter. His final show was on 17 May 2022.

On 26 May 2022, the BBC announced that Breakfast, along with the BBC News at Six and Ten will be revamped in June 2022 to include a completely new studio and presentation, as part of a wider rebrand of the BBC. Local regional programmes will also be revamped over the coming months to tie in with the regional BBC channels broadcasting in HD by the beginning of 2023. It was announced on 8 July that Jon Kay would permanently replace Dan Walker after being a stand-in presenter for Breakfast.

After the unification of BBC News for UK viewers and international viewers in April 2023, the programme continues to be simulcast only on the UK feed, while the international feed shows generic bulletin and World Business Report. However, from January 2025 the simulcast with the UK feed was dropped on weekdays with the UK Feed showing generic bulletin and Business Today which are what international viewers get.

On 26 June 2023, BBC Breakfast unveiled a new look for the programme, moving to an all-new multipurpose studio in Media City in Salford.

On 29 November 2023, the BBC announced that BBC Breakfast would be extended by 15 minutes on weekdays, broadcasting until 9:30 am and followed by Morning Live, also extended by half an hour and broadcast until 10:45am. This change came into effect on 2 January 2024.

For the first few months of 2025, BBC Breakfast was not shown on weekdays on the BBC News Channel, with the news channel instead continuing to air the global news service. Breakfast did continue to air on the BBC News Channel at the weekend. However by spring 2025, Breakfast was, once again, airing every day on the BBC News Channel but on 29 October 2025, Breakfast was, once again, dropped from the News Channel's weekday schedule.

Format

Between 6:00 am and 09:00 am on weekdays, during the simulcast, the sports news is at approximately 6:30 am, 7:30 am and 8:30 am, plus 09:30am on a Saturday, after the news summary. In addition, live sports bulletins are broadcast from sporting locations, such as Royal Ascot and Wimbledon, with the presenter interviewing key sporting figures. The United Kingdom weather forecast is at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past the hour throughout the programme, either from the BBC Weather Centre in Broadcasting House, or out on location. Short regional news, travel and weather bulletins are broadcast just before the hour and the half-hour throughout the programme, with each bulletin running for 3 minutes and 15 seconds, and a 6-minute bulletin at 09:10am. Once the BBC News Channel breaks away for its own programming at 9:00 am, the programme is extended until 9:30 am on BBC One.

During weekends, there are no updates from regional news bureaus. The first and/or second hour of the weekend edition may occasionally feature abridged versions of the BBC's other programmes such as Newswatch (shown on Saturdays at 7:45 am), Tech Now (shown on Sundays at 7:45 am) and The Travel Show. The show is also simulcast on BBC One and the BBC News Channel, but, during the Premier League season, BBC One regularly breaks away on Sundays to show the previous night's edition of Match of the Day.
