TV One Launches Saturday Edition Of Breakfast
TV ONE will launch a new Saturday edition of its Breakfast programme, co-presented by Rawdon Christie and Toni Street,
on 3 September.
Anthony Flannery, TVNZ's Head of News and Current Affairs, says: "Expanding Breakfast's schedule to Saturdays is an
exciting development, which we know viewers will welcome."
The Saturday show will be an extension of the regular Monday to Friday Breakfast format, featuring the very latest news,
sports and weather information, he says.
"Underpinned by a strong news focus, the show will also cover lifestyle, entertainment and sports - topics of special
interest after the working week is over. It will be a great start to the weekend for viewers, before they get on with
their shopping or kids' sport."
Rawdon Christie and Toni Street already have a strong association with Breakfast as regular back-up presenters for the
weekday show.
Says Anthony Flannery: "Rawdon is a polished, highly professional and very credible presenter with a strong journalistic
background.
"Likewise, Toni's an outstanding journalist and a talented broadcaster. She's known and respected for her
professionalism, energy and engaging personality."
Broadcast 7-9am each Saturday, the weekend edition of Breakfast will replace the Best of Breakfast highlights programme
that currently airs on Saturday mornings.
