Not to be confused with Daybreak, the programme from ITV Breakfast Limited, and the current breakfast operator
Daybreak was an early morning news programme on the former UK breakfast station TV-am. It ran from 06:00 to 07:00 with an emphasis on news stories. The first edition was broadcast on the TV-am launch date of 1 February 1983 and was presented by Robert Kee, and also Angela Rippon. As TV-am's viewing figures fell after its launch, Daybreak was initially cut back to 30 minutes and finally dropped when the station changed its programming in search of higher ratings.
The name was revived in 2010 for ITV's replacement for GMTV.[1]
