Atlantic Canada
The program in Atlantic Canada airs on CTV Two Atlantic, and was formerly known as Breakfast Television from its inception from 1992 to 2011.
At the time of the program's launch in fall 1992, CTV Two Atlantic was known as the Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) and was a sister channel to Citytv (Toronto), as well as Maritimes CTV affiliate ATV, under the ownership of CHUM Limited. The program launched with a format similar to that of the Toronto version of BT, albeit with a greater emphasis on local musical guests. The program continued under its original name and format under licence from CHUM (and later Rogers Communications, which purchased Citytv in 2007) even after ATV and ASN were traded to CTV in 1997.
The show presently runs for two hours (7:00 to 9:00 a.m. AT), but in the past has aired for up to 2.5 hours (6:30 to 9:00 AT). The program has always been broadcast in full on ASN, although for several years (until 2008) portions not conflicting with Canada AM also aired on ATV.
Around 2002, the program had switched to a mostly pre-taped format. The show was relaunched on October 24, 2005 with a unique, more news-oriented format that differs from the Citytv versions of BT, resuming live broadcasts (for the most part) in the process. Coming around the same time as the cancellation of late-night news on ASN (later reinstated), this seemed to be designed to have BT count towards ASN's required hours of local news coverage. The main difference is that very few guests appeared in the studio live; instead, pre-taped segments featuring guests were shown. The number of guest appearances subsequently increased, with a guest in studio live every two or three shows.

It was briefly retained, as an early-morning lead-in to Canada AM, when VTV became a CTV station in 2001, but cancelled in early 2002 after it was determined that the rescheduling had caused a significant drop in its ratings. Aamer Haleem, who was a host of VTV Breakfast for most of its run, initially served as a co-host of the revived program, but left in early 2014.
