9am with David & Kim

In August 2009, Reyne announced that he will be leaving 9am at the end of the year, after 4 years with the show and Ten. On 7 December 2009 Watkins also confirmed she had also quit the show, with Ten programmer David Mott announcing a brand new concept for the timeslot next year. It is unclear whether Watkins has left the network altogether. The final ever show aired on Friday 11 December 2009 due to a strong competition with Seven's The Morning Show. 9am Summertime concluded on 5 February 2010. The following week after the demise the 9am website was removed. On 16 January 2010, it was announced The Circle would be the replacement show, which started on 9 February 10 am-12 pm following the new time slot for the Ten Morning News hour 9 am-10 am. == Segments ==

9am included a mix of lifestyle, cooking and interview segments along with advertorials. The advertorials were for products from home-shopping companies such as Danoz Direct and Global Shop Direct, and were mostly presented by Marianne van Dorslar & Ann-Maree Biggar. Regular segments and their hosts included: • Family Matters: John Irvine • Your Garden: David Kirkpatrick • Fashion, style, beauty and home: Dhav Naidu • Health and Fitness: Christi Malthouse and Craig Harper • Entertainment: Benjamin Hart • Your Pets: Julie Summerfield • Your Health: David Spencer • Music: Ian Dickson • Cooking: Chef Arianne Spratt • Your Place: Ann-Maree Biggar • Lifestyle Travel: Shannon Watts At the start of the program Kim Watkins read the news headlines, and at 10.15 am Ten News presenter Natarsha Belling presents a news update. At the end of each show, Reyne used his trademark sign-off - using a different adjective in place of "nice" as in "Have a nice day" (for example, "Have a colossal day"). == Celebrity fill-ins ==
