ABC News Breakfast is an Australian news breakfast television program which broadcasts on ABC and ABC News 24 from 6am to 9am on weekdays. The program airs live in all Australian timezones on free-to-air digital channel ABC News 24. It is also streamed live on the ABC's website and broadcast live on Foxtel pay television service. It is also broadcast on the Australia Network throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
The program commenced broadcasting on 3 November 2008 on ABC2, with hosts Virginia Trioli and Michael Rowland. They are joined by sport presenter Paul Kennedy, finance presenter Del Irani and weather presenter Kristen Veness. Erin Vincent is the program's executive producer.
ABC News Breakfast covers the latest news, analysis, debate, finance, sport and weather. It draws upon the resources of ABC newsrooms and radio programs across Australia and the world.
The program is broadcast live on ABC in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania all-year round. It is broadcast on a 30-minute delay in South Australia (all-year) and the Northern Territory (wintertime). On wintertime, Queensland broadcasts the program live, while Western Australia airs the program on a two hour delay.
During summer, when only some Australian states adopt daylight saving time, Queensland receives the program on a one hour delay, a 90-minute delay in the Northern Territory and on a three-hour delay in Western Australia. Either way, ABC News 24 broadcasts the program live across Australia from 6am AEST/AEDT.
In May 2011, the program moved to ABC, with children's programming moving to ABC2 and ABC3.
In November 2011, it was announced that the ABC News Breakfast brand would expand to the weekend with Weekend Breakfast hosted by Andrew Geoghegan and Miriam Corowa.
