«Breaking News» Today show beaten in the TV ratings by ABC's News Breakfast

The Today show has been beaten in the TV ratings by ABC's News Breakfast.   

According to a report by Crikey on Thursday, it's the first time the ABC has eclipsed the Channel Nine program, coming in at number two behind Channel Seven's Sunrise. 

News Breakfast pulled in 265,000 national viewers on Wednesday, a good 1000 on Today's 264,000.

Is this the end of the Today show? Channel Nine left red-faced as their morning show is BEATEN by ABC's News Breakfast in the ratings 

Sunrise took the lead, sitting on top with 447,000 national viewers.

It's bad news for the Today show, after they debuted their new lineup in January.

The embattled program has failed to boost their ratings after shafting longtime Today personalities, including Karl Stefanovic and Richard Wilkins.   

On Monday, it was revealed just 247,000 national viewers woke up with Georgie Gardner and Deborah Knight across the five-city metro markets, marking another all-time low for the Channel Nine breakfast show. 

Ratings battle: Sunrise took the lead, sitting on top with 447,000 national viewers

Rival Channel Seven's Sunrise pulled in significantly more viewers with 455,000 people tuning in across the nation. 

A Channel Nine spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday that the public holiday is to blame for the continued low ratings. 

'With a public holiday in Victoria and South Australia yesterday, lower-than-normal figures are to be expected,' a statement read.

During its debut in January, the revamped breakfast show was smashed in the ratings by Sunrise, drawing in a paltry 197,000 metro viewers.   

Last week, the show attracted just 167,000 metro viewers, which marked the lowest figures since 2006. 

In a statement to TV Tonight at the time, Nine's Head of Content Production & Development, Adrian Swift, said viewers should give the Today show a chance.

'The reality is when you change your lineup it takes a long time to bed in,' he said.

'We're not concerned. We are absolutely convinced we will get there.'

Brooke Boney, Tony Jones, and Tom Steinfort joined the new panel with Deborah and Georgie in January after longtime host, Karl Stefanovic, was axed last year.

It wasn't all bad news for Nine, as ratings juggernaut Married at First Sight was the number one show on Monday after drawing in an impressive 1.36m viewers.

Seven's My Kitchen Rules, was second with 761,000, while Channel Ten's Dancing with the Stars attracted 484,000 viewers.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
