RTÉ Morning Edition is an Irish news television programme that was broadcast on RTÉ One and RTÉ News Now from 28 January 2013 to 28 November 2014.[1] It was produced by RTÉ News and Current Affairs.

Format

The programme aired every Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 11:00 and provided a live morning mix of news, sport, business, topical discussion and entertainment.[1] The show was a success upon its launch.[2] The first show started at 09:00 on 28 January 2013 and the first season ran until May 2013. The show returned for a second season on 2 September 2013. The programme's biggest competitor was TV3's Ireland AM.

Programming

The programme launched on 28 January 2013.[1] The programme received some criticism from its launch as RTÉ does not provide any breakfast television programme with many believing the programme airs too late in the morning.[3]

Cancellation

On 5 November 2014, it was announced that the show was cancelled, and would not be returning in January 2015 after its 2-year run.[4] The final programme was broadcast on 28 November 2014.
