Format

The Hot Breakfast format is based on the Grill Team format pioneered by Triple M Melbourne in the early 1990s, merging sport, comedy and music with a more talkback style of radio. AFL football is often a popular topic on the show given that the show is based in Melbourne and that the hosts are all involved with clubs or as AFL broadcaster – McGuire is Collingwood president and an analyst and commentator, while Darcy not only played for the Western Bulldogs but is an AFL broadcaster for Triple M and Seven Network.

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Victorian Premier John Brumby were the first guests on the show.
