Viewers may begin the day with a cup of tea and Good Morning China.

The bright and early morning news program has all the ingredients to get the audience off to a great start. The latest news is gathered only hours earlier via satellite from major wire services including Reuters and the Associated Press.

Reports cover financial news, including the previous night's closing on SE Asian stock markets and early reports on European exchanges, daily headlines from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan newspapers, and world weather forecasts.

This year, the Phoenix programs Today's Headlines, Morning Financial News and Weather Forecast are packaged as a block.
