Today was about 10k ahead of News Breakfast on Wednesday but significantly behind in Sydney. While there is fluctuation of overnight numbers there are clear trends emerging in favour of News Breakfast.

And yet for everything that has changed those could almost be today’s headlines!

Shows how futile and pointless the news cycle is.

Surely if this move is successful, Weekend Breakfast will be a permanent fixture in the schedule of ABC-TV (and iView!) on Saturday and Sunday mornings?

I’d be outRAGEd if that were to happen. Having it on 24 is good enough for Saturday mornings.

Rage could always screen on ABC Comedy (Really should go back to ABC2) and shift out the kids shows on Saturday mornings.

You take away my one morning for a sleep in? Why do you hate me so much! Put it on ABC3, leave ABC Kids alone so I can sleep without kids killing each other!

ABC ME shouldn’t just be for older kids, should be rebranded ABC Kids. Older kids will be all over iview and YouTube, etc anyway.

It’s more to do with when the kids or teens are likely to be watching.

ABC Me runs to 10pm.

ABC Kids runs to 7.30pm. ABC Comedy runs after 7.30pm.
