Atlantic Canada

The program was formerly known as Breakfast Television from its inception in 1992 to 2011. The brand was licensed to A Atlantic (formerly Atlantic Satellite Network or ASN), a regional cable-only channel serving Atlantic Canada owned by Bell Media from Rogers Communications. The show presently runs for two hours (7:00 to 9:00 a.m. AT), but in the past has aired for up to 2.5 hours (6:30 to 9:00 AT). The program has always been broadcast in full on ASN, although for several years (until 2008) portions not conflicting with Canada AM also aired on co-owned ATV, the Maritimes CTV affiliate.

BT originally launched on ASN in fall 1992, with a similar format to that seen on Citytv, albeit with a greater emphasis on local musical guests.[1] At that time, ASN, like Citytv, was owned by CHUM; the program continued under its original name and format even after ATV and ASN were traded to CTV in 1997.

The show was relaunched on October 24, 2005 with a unique, more news-oriented format that differs from the Citytv versions of BT. Coming around the same time as the cancellation of late-night news on ASN (now reinstated), this seemed to be designed to have BT count towards ASN's required hours of local news coverage. The main difference is that very few guests appear in the studio live. Instead, pre-taped segments featuring guests are shown. The number of guest appearances have increased over the years, with a guest in studio live every two or three shows.

A major feature of the show since the relaunch is the Hot Topic which is the daily subject of conversation. The hosts discuss an issue based on news, sports, or general interest, and read email comments from viewers.

Breakfast Television returned to live broadcasts which had been phased out around 2002. A new set was constructed for the relaunch and the logo was revised. The viewer mail segment of the show, which had existed since its inception, has been dropped.
