TV News Summer Project (part 1)


This is part 1 of my TV News Summer Project. 


The TV News programme I decided to research was BBC Breakfast which is broadcast on BBC 1, 7 days a week. From Monday to Friday it runs from 6:00 until 9:15, however on Thursday 24th of July it will run from 6:00 until 9:00 as a result of the start of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. On Saturday it runs from 6:00 until 10:00 because more less people are awake before 9:15 as they like to sleep in on a Saturday so they broadcast it for longer. On Sunday it runs from 6:00 until 9:00.


There are currently 9 presenters of BBC Breakfast and they are: Bill Turnbull who presents the main news in the news studio, Charlie Stayt who does the same thing as Bill Turnbull on different days, Louise Minchin who usually presents the news with either Bill Turnbull or Charlie Stayt, Carol Kirkwood who always presents the weather, Stephanie McGovern who presents the Business and Economics news stories, Mike Bushell and Sally Nugent who present sport, Naga Munchetty who presents stories to do with money and figures, and Jon Kay, who presents Breakfast on Saturday mornings.

The average viewing figures for BBC Breakfast are currently 6.8 million daily.


In March 2006, the programme received the TRIC award for Best Daytime Television Programme for the 3rd year in a row.



This is the programme's logo and appears after the intro has finished.
