TVNZ’s Breakfast show is back on air this morning after being down for nearly 45 minutes due to technical difficulties.

It appears the show was on for around a minute this morning at its usual start time of 6am before “unforeseen circumstances” saw it go off air.

“Welcome back to breakfast if you were here with us at 6am,” said host Jenny-May Clarkson.

“We are very sorry for the technical difficulties that we were having this morning.

“We’re back 44 minutes later but anyway we still have an action-packed show for you.”

Host Matt McLean joked that they should not have pushed the “big red button”.

“Turns out don’t push the big red button that says do not push ... no, I’m kidding,” he said.

“But we’re back on air. Thank you for sticking with us if you’ve managed to stick with us.”

In a notice on its livestream this morning, TVNZ said due to unforeseen circumstances it was unable to provide the advertised programme - Breakfast.

In posts on social media, it also said it hoped to get on air soon.

Kia ora - We're having technical issues this morning, we're working on them and will be with you shortly!
