Watch TV in the morning?? Are you a sadist? 😱
I don’t watch TV until after 9pm, Netflix etc. and I don’t watch any live TV ever. It’s all so crap.

notacooldad · 06/09/2025 20:29

Nothing.
I can honestly say I never put the tv on.
Dh will put it on in the evening and ask if there's anything I want to watch but im not usually bothered.

EchoedSilence · 06/09/2025 20:31

Oh look at all you superior beings who don't watch the telly.

flightissue · 06/09/2025 20:31

No tv in our house until evening.

EchoedSilence · 06/09/2025 20:35

I like BBC breakfast on in the background while I get ready for work so I can call which ever MP is talking bollocks names. I also like tutting at Naga.

Or maybe some of us like quiet in the morning while getting ready for work? I watch hours of TV in the evening and at weekends but don't watch TV in the morning.

I get up at 4:45 for work and just need something unchallenging and entertaining at that hour while I shower and do my face. Currently re-watching/listening on my phone to The Thick of It for the twentieth time.
Either that or a gambling streamer I like on YouTube.
Eases me into the madness of the day 😂

pengwig · 06/09/2025 20:38

Nothing or if I do youtube.

WhereAreMyAirpods · 06/09/2025 20:39

BBC Breakfast always.

BG2015 · 06/09/2025 20:40

I listen to the radio - Absolute

SDmdzMn · 06/09/2025 20:40

Classic Corrie

Pollqueen · 06/09/2025 20:42

Sky news whilst upstairs and then radio 4 when I go downstairs and then radio 4 on car radio on way to work

CeciliaDuckiePond · 06/09/2025 20:45

I don't watch TV in the morning, unless something exceptional is happening like General Election results, major disaster etc. in which case it would be BBC News 24. I read the news online, do some puzzles and come on Mumsnet, usually. At the weekend, I put the radio on but on work days I enjoy the silence while I can.

The TV usually goes on between 7pm & 8pm for a couple of hours, that's when I am ready for zero-effort-on-my part entertainment.

Diversion · 06/09/2025 20:46

Nothing, I get up at 5.30 and sit outside with a cup of tea. If it is raining I sit in the doorway of the shed. I hate being talked at by people or TV/radio first thing. I shower at 6, dress and leave for work at 6.30 via the scenic route with very loud metal music playing in the truck 😄

Cynic17 · 06/09/2025 20:48

Nothing. Radio all the way for me. I don't watch TV until about 8pm (except for Wimbledon 😂).

Rightandwrong · 06/09/2025 20:54

I've never watched tv in the morning.
I aways used to listen to Radio 4 Today programme. But if I can stick 5 minutes of that now before it annoys me so much I have to turn it off then I'm doing well. I usually switch over to Radio 3.
I've never been an enthusiastic TV watcher and watch hardly any these days.

BlackKnightinYellowWellies · 06/09/2025 20:56

Countdown

Rightsraptor · 06/09/2025 20:57

Why the assumption that I put the TV on in the morning? Mine doesn't go on until evening.

To answer your question: the birds in the tree outside my bedroom window.

twotrue · 06/09/2025 20:58

Radio 5 Live - Wake up to Money (recommend) at 5am followed by 5 Live Breakfast a hour later. Easy ways to take in info with eyes-closed and snuggled under the duvet.

DorothyStorm · 06/09/2025 20:59

No tv in the day here either. Radio 2 in the morning, tv at night.

CalzoneOnLegs · 06/09/2025 21:00

Nothing, I like peace and quiet in the mornings

TheChosenTwo · 06/09/2025 21:01

Usually bbc breakfast while I’m getting dressed and making the bed.

EasternStandard · 06/09/2025 21:03

Nothing until a Netflix episode after dc in bed, quite late

Topjoe19 · 06/09/2025 21:05

K pop demon hunters because I have young daughters!

icebearforpresident · 06/09/2025 21:11

Kids come straight down and put on YouTube, usually some Minecraft or Toca Boca nonsense while husband and I are dealing with breakfast etc, when they go to get ready we put on BBC Breakfast. On the days I’m not working I quite often sit down to an old episode of Frasier once everyone else is out and I’m eating my own breakfast.
