Breakfast (also referred to as TVNZ Breakfast) is a New Zealand morning news and talk show airing weekday mornings on TVNZ 1, produced by 1 News. Debuting on 11 August 1997, it was the first of its genre in New Zealand. Originally a two-hour show, it has been expanded by one hour.
Breakfast's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until 2008, when TV3 launched Sunrise. Sunrise struggled against Breakfast in the ratings until Sunrise went off air because of financial issues in April 2010, leaving Breakfast the only morning news and talk show in New Zealand, until TV3 launched their second attempt at a morning news show, Firstline, in 2011. Firstline was cancelled in April 2015, and replaced by Paul Henry, which caused a significant increase in Breakfast's competition. This caused the changes to the presenters in September 2016. Breakfast is currently the highest-rated morning news and talk show since 11 August 1997.

Saturday Breakfast
On 3 September 2011 TVNZ launched Saturday Breakfast, which aired between 7 am and 9 am each Saturday. The show was axed at the end of 2012 due to low viewership.
Show format
Ten minutes of news, sport and weather is presented every half-hour between 6:00 and 8:30. Daniel Faitaua presents the news headlines from the Breakfast studio on the hour and half-hour, followed by Matt McLean presenting the regional weather bulletin on the hour, and the main centres' weather bulletin on the half-hour. Mostly, the show has interviews with newsmakers or TVNZ reporters on the day's headlines. The first hour of the show is devoted to news stories, and the rest of the show has entertainment or special interest segments.
Awards
In 2014, TVNZ was awarded a Bravo award by the New Zealand Skeptics for coverage of the "dangers of Miracle Mineral Solution." And for their comment that MMS "is not a miracle cure for anything".
