''Breakfast Television'' (''BT'') is the branding used for morning shows broadcast by stations of Rogers Media's television network City. As of May 2015, versions of ''BT'' are broadcast in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal); versions used to be broadcast in Winnipeg and Edmonton as well, but have been cancelled and replaced with alternative programming. The version broadcast by the Atlantic Satellite Network (which was owned by Citytv's former parent CHUM Limited, and is now owned by competitor Bell Media) continued to use the brand under licence from Rogers until 2011, when it was re-launched as ''CTV Morning Live'' upon its re-branding as CTV Two Atlantic. On September 5, 2011, each of the local editions of ''Breakfast Television'' across all of the City owned-and-operated stations began starting a half-hour earlier, running from 5:30–9 a.m.〔(Citytv Launches News at Five and Breakfast Television at 5:30 am )〕 In April 2012, the Winnipeg edition reverted to the 6-9 a.m. runtime.
