The Channel Four Daily (or Channel 4 Daily) was a breakfast television newsmagazine produced by Independent Television News, in collaboration with other production companies, for Channel 4. The programme was the first breakfast news programme for Channel 4, broadcasting between 06.00 and 09.25 each weekday morning. The first edition of the programme was broadcast on 3 April 1989, with the last edition being broadcast on 25 September 1992. It was based heavily on news and current affairs, and contained segments focusing on sports, finance, lifestyles, arts and entertainment, and discussion.
The programme also included a business programme, Business Daily - which had been on air as a lunchtime programme since October 1987 - and Countdown Masters, an abbreviated version of Countdown.
The Channel Four Daily failed to gain enough viewers and the last broadcast was shown on Friday 25 September 1992[1]. It was replaced with the relatively more popular programme, The Big Breakfast, from Monday 28 September 1992.
