It is anchored by Nick Dixon and Jennifer Hsiung, Mika Midolo (temporarily off CP24 Breakfast due to cancer diagnoses) is as the transit and weather specialist, Bill Coulter is the meteorologist, and Jee-Yun Lee is the remote and Live Eye Host.

History (2009 - 2018)CP24 Breakfast first aired on March 26, 2009, displacing the simulcast of Citytv Toronto's Breakfast Television, which is now owned by Rogers Media and had been airing on CP24 since its inception in 1998. On the same day of the launch, CTVglobemedia (now Bell Media) relaunched its Toronto-based oldies music radio station, 1050 CHUM, as a news/talk radio station CP24 Radio 1050 which the station operated primarily as a simulcast of CP24's television counterpart, which was later reverted to an all-sports radio format as TSN Radio 1050 as of April 2011. Prior to the launch of CP24 Breakfast, from February 2009, until March 25, 2009, CP24 had its own news inserts during commercial breaks on BT known as More On CP24 in which CP24 anchors would do extended morning news updates. Unofficially Citytv hosts had constantly referred to Breakfast Television being "only on Citytv, Cable 7" several months before CP24 launched its own new morning show.

The program debuted with Ann Rohmer as news anchor, Melissa Grelo and Matte Babel as co-hosts, live reporter Cam Wooley, weather specialist Nalini Sharma, and Bob Summers, Steve Anthony and Mika Middolo as part of the traffic team. Babel switched to the "Live Eye" six months later before leaving in 2010, Anthony took his place as cohost. Rohmer exited the show in June 2010 and was later replaced by Lindsey Deluce. Sharma went on maternity leave in early 2012 and switched to the "Live Eye" upon returning a year later before leaving the show altogether in 2014. Bill Coulter joined the weather team in her place. Deluce took a maternity leave in mid-2012 and was temporarily replaced by Farah Nasser who herself went on maternity leave, six months later. George Lagogianes filled her spot throughout her second maternity leave beginning in the fall of 2014. Lindsey Deluce returned to CP24 in late 2015; however, she soon left to join CTV's sister station's new breakfast show Your Morning. Gurdeep Ahulwaila took over as Anchor following her departure.

On March 19, 2011, CP24 extended its morning show with the launch of CP24 Breakfast Weekend Edition, becoming the first station in Toronto to serve a morning show seven days a week. The program was initially hosted by Gurdeep Ahulwalia (later replaced by Nneka Elliott) and Pooja Handa (later replaced by Travis Dhanraj).Daily dose of CP24 Breakfast starts this weekend www.cp24.com, published March 17, 2011,
