I really wish they had a summer breakfast show

Same here.
Judging by the content that usually passes for the Breakfast show these days, I don’t.
I have no idea what that show is meant to be any more, who’s fronting it etc.

This used to be my thinking especially as I would more likely have time to watch it over the summer holidays. I think it is too late now to do this with a decreasing FTA audience.
This is also why! It has turned into an unusual show with an unusual presenting line up.

Yes, its extremely odd having a national breakfast show (anywhere in the world) close down over the summer months.
What do they replace their schedules with during this time?

Reruns of a British home improvement or travel shows usually.

But TVNZ 2 sister channel to TVNZ 1 airing reruns of British reality and home improvement series such as Kirstie Phil’s Love It and List It and Rich House, Poor House that recently screened new episodes on 1 and channel 2 is replaying Your Home Made Perfect which is a weird fit for the network which usually suited programming for youth audiences.
A full One Network News Tonight bulletin from what I would place at April 21, 1999 with Mike McRoberts anchoring.
Note, there’s a 1998 end credit tag - but the Columbine shooting was definitely 1999!

Should have had a complete change of Presenters to reset Breakfast for 2023 against am. Still a slight improvement from the new Executive Editor.

Where’s Jenny Suo going? It wasn’t long ago she moved to Midday from Tonight.
@NuStraya Moving to sports news, I think (since Chris Chang is moving to Breakfast along with Anna Burns-Francis, who has returned to NZ after about three years in New York as TVNZ’s US correspondent).
@theGradyConnell And I wonder where Indira Stewart is going…
