History
The program began in a morning time slot under the title The Big Breakfast, before moving to the afternoon as The Big Arvo, to make way for AMV: All Music Video and Sunrise. The program was presented by four hosts, who hosted the show in a large model bus. The program included segments such as "cool job" and "dare" to amuse younger viewers and to teach viewers who had outgrown Play School. It appeared in K-Zone magazine to celebrate 500 episodes.
