The programme will feature behind the scenes action from Los Angeles with Vincent Hanley, as well as all the up to the minute sports results from the games, dance classes, cookery, weather reports and news bulletins.
Programme producer Liam Miller said that 'Daybreak LA' is being used as a pilot scheme for a breakfast television show. However, there are no immediate plans to introduce a regular breakfast show.
It's an experiment. We're putting our toe in the water to see how the audience react.
RTÉ will have extensive coverage of the Olympics throughout the morning, day and night totally six hundred hours. Eamonn Coghlan has been signed up for the commentary team for the duration of the games.
