Bright Breakfast!

**Bright Breakfast!** was a weekday spin-off block of the popular children's lunchtime show 'Brian and Brianna's Bright Lunch' hosted by new and exclusive mascot, Olly the Duck, which was launched in January 2020.

The block runs from 6:00am until 9:00am every weekday on Comedy Extra (from January 2021, formerly on the IME Family Channel) showing various cartoons and programs that were previously on 'Bright Lunch' at one point and occasionally some competitions and jokes from Olly in the studio.

On March 15, 2023, it was announced that CWP Broadcast would take over operations of the block beginning in April, rebranding as an out-of-vision block titled "Action-Comedy Mornings", and will be a sister block to Comedy Breakfast Show on Super Star Comedy. Bright Breakfast ended its run without much of a wimper on March 30, and Action-Comedy Mornings took over on April 3.

## History

Bright Breakfast originally debuted on the IME Family Channel in January 2020, airing mostly reruns of older Bright Lunch material, alongside shows that Bright Lunch never aired, like Sonic Underground. The block originally offered up different formats of programmes: the first half on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and the second half on Thursdays and Fridays.

Due to low viewership on IME Play's own preschool block, on 15th March 2020 IME Entertainment Worldwide announced that that Bright Breakfast will now be a programming block airing cartoons for older viewers only. This is because IME Family Channel’s sister channel IME Play already has an ‘IME Play Preschool‘ block which airs some of the same programs that Bright Lunch used to have. On the same day, it was confirmed that the block would stick to a 5-day schedule.

From May 10, 2020, until September 4th, 2020, the block is split into three sections, The 6:00 am-7:00 am slot being the "Sunrise Corner", the 7:00 am-8:00 am slot being the "DIC Kids Corner" and the 8:00 am-9:00 am slot being the "Action Corner". The block has also occasionally aired movies.

Beginning September 7th, 2020, the block was unbranded and will simply run under the standard Bright Breakfast name, and all the shows will be in random placements. A half-hour will also be removed from the block.

On December 17, 2020, it was announced that the block would move to Comedy Extra in the new year. This was in order for the IME Family Channel to begin airing IME Preschool in it's place as IME Play transitioned off to become a 24-hour all-cartoon channel. The first Bright Breakfast! on Comedy Extra was on January 4, 2021.

For the Summer of 2021, Bright Breakfast will not broadcast on Fridays, due to the Friday Bright Lunch being added. In it's place would be repeats of other Comedy Extra programmes. It will resume Friday broadcast in September.

Following the possible suspicion of Mayday51's retirement, On March 15, 2023, it was announced that CWP Broadcast would take over operations of the timeslot and replace Bright Breakfast! with a new block - "Action-Comedy Mornings", becoming a sister block to Comedy Breakfast Show on Super Star Comedy. Bright Breakfast ended its run on March 30, and Action-Comedy Mornings took over on April 3.
