News Breakfast is an Australian news breakfast television program which broadcasts on ABC from 6am to 9am on weekdays. The program airs live in all Australian timezones at 6am AEST/AEDT on the ABC News channel. It is also streamed live on the ABC's website and the Australia Network throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
The program commenced broadcasting on 3 November 2008 as ABC News Breakfast 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.
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, Australian Capital Territory, 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, the ABC News channel 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.
In January 2014, ABC News Breakfast had an extensive makeover, launching a larger new and improved set with three different individual presenting areas. The set includes a news desk, a newswall presenting area and a soft set with seating. The new set kept the existing couch that has been seen on air since the show's launch.
