The cutbacks also affected the station's three-hour breakfast programme "Channel M Breakfast", which had been airing on weekdays since 16 April 2007. Other programmes to be axed included "Style in the City", "City Life", and "The Great Manchester Football Show". Channel M also axed all of its stand-alone entertainment, sport and features programming as well as the weekday breakfast show (which was, for a short time, replaced by live footage of the area's traffic cameras accompanied by a simulcast of Real Radio North West) and the lunchtime & evening news bulletins. News and sport coverage was incorporated into "Channel M Today". which launched on Monday 13 July 2009, broadcast on weekdays between 4pm & 7pm and presented by chief news anchor Andy Crane alongside a rotating team of sports and features presenters.
