Format
The format of the programme, while not always the same, is usually consistent. The programme begins officially at 6.10 am following the hourly news broadcast. The news broadcasts are state-based and occur on the hour - and every hour - with the traditional ‘Majestic Fanfare’ tune.
The programme has a familiar tune, during which the presenter indicates the main stories which will be covered during the programme, including the interviews which are planned.
About four items are presented each hour, with longer items earlier in the programme. These will include a mix of reports from ABC correspondents, reports from the BBC and CNN, as well as interviews with a variety of people, including federal and state politicians, prominent commentators, persons of interest, celebrities and ordinary people who are in the middle of news stories.
