Breakfast (also referred to as TVNZ's Breakfast), is a New Zealand morning news and talk show airing weekday mornings on TV ONE, produced by ONE News. Debuting on 11 August 1997, it was the first of its genre in New Zealand. Originally a two hour show, it has expanded to include a Saturday edition. The weekday broadcasts have also been expanded, by 1 hour.
Breakfast's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until 2008, when TV3 launched Sunrise. Sunrise struggled against Breakfast with the ratings.Sunrise went off air because of finance issues in April 2010 leaving Breakfast the only morning news and talk show in New Zealand again until TV3 launched their second attempt at a morning news show Firstline in 2011 . Breakfast is on a current streak of being the highest-rated morning news and talk show every week since 11 August 1997.

On 3 September 2011 TVNZ launched Saturday Breakfast, airing between 7-9am on a Saturday morning.
The show was then axed at the end of 2012 due to low viewership.
Show format
10 minutes of news, sport and weather is presented every half hour between 6:00 and 8:30. Weather is presented from a location around the country, usually where an event is happening. On the hour business news is also presented.
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/light-hearted/special interest segments.
