Pre-''BBC Breakfast'' history

'' Breakfast Time'' was the first BBC breakfast programme, with Ron Neil as producer. It was conceived in response to the plans of the

. 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,

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 programme had been planned to start in September but was postponed due to delays with the set. The first edition was presented by Nicholas Witchell and Jill Dando. The business news coverage 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. Composer George Fenton reworked the theme tune for the Silicon Graphics CGI, title sequences were designed in-house by the BBC and the set was built by Television Production Design Ltd. A further revamp occurred in June 1997, when the programme was renamed simply ''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

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'—their replacement was with orange squares of the same design as those appearing in the programme's new title sequence, which were designed to hide any joins or faults between the screens which had previously been obvious. The screens eventually displayed visuals needed for story content: different backgrounds, graphics and still photographs. The set had a generic visual style that could be used for other programmes, such as the national news bulletins, without much additional physical change. The programme celebrated its 20th anniversary on 17 January 2003. 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. The backdrop resembled that of the BBC News channel as did the new ''Breakfast'' titles. In May 2009 as part of cost-cutting, the live broadcasts of the business news from the

In September 2006, ''Breakfast'' launched its own video podcast called the ''Breakfast Takeaway''.

The ''Breakfast Takeaway'' was available Monday to Friday in MP4 format where it could be downloaded and viewed from a home or office computer. The video podcasts were a one-year trial. After the BBC reviewed the trial, the podcasts were discontinued in July 2007.
