Genre: Magazine
Broadcast: June 2005
Producer(s): Jonathan Bufton
Kat Sutton

In May 2005, after stopping doing the station's scheduling after two years, Jonathan Bufton wrote a spoof YSTV listings page on the YSTV Messageboard. It included a breakfast show, and a number of respondants said they'd like to do a breakfast show actually at breakfast time (unlike previous breakfast shows broadcast at more "studenty" times).

It was decided that the show would be broadcast 7am-9.30am on the Monday of the last week of the summer term, presented by Jonathan and Kat Sutton (who surely one day will be doing it for real!) and have a theme of looking ahead to the summer as well as looking back at the year's output. Also featured were weather reports "live" from Central Hall balcony with YSTV's weatherman Anthony Laverty and spoof regional news sections (complete with BBC style dodgy opt-outs) from such exotic newsrooms as Derwent Digest.

On air, complete with clock

Due to some fantastic weather the show was presented from YSTV's new sofa on the grass outside the control room. Outgoing SU Welfare Officer John Rose agreed to be interviewed at the end of the programme. The show was repeated all week and is still available to watch on the YSTV Watch Online site. It was also Kat Sutton's final appearance on YSTV.
