Morning Edition was BBC Radio 5's breakfast programme from 1990 to 1994.
The programme aired daily from 6.30am until 9am and was broadcast every weekday throughout Radio 5's time on air, as well as on Saturdays until mid 1992 with a Sunday version of the programme, Sunday Edition, beginning at the later time of 7.30am.
1992 saw changes to the programme. On 17th February, Danny Baker replaced Sarah Ward and Jon Briggs as host of the weekday programmes [1] and on 15 August 1992 the weekend programmes were relaunched and were renamed as Weekend Edition.[2] Mark Curry took over as presenter and the programme's length at the weekend was extended to 9.30am, with a 6.30am start time on both days.
The first edition of the programme was aired on Radio 5's second day on air - the station had launched at 9am the previous day - and finished on the station's final broadcast day.[3][4]
Content[edit]
The programme aired news and sport bulletins every 30 minutes, city-by-city weather and travel news, a link up with a radio station from elsewhere across the globe, features and a broad mix of music.[5]
