Why does Home and Away go on a break?
Anyone know? I've only been watching for a few months and am loving it.

![]() Summer months in each country, makes sense to take a break, less people watch TV in the summer. |

Neighbours will be off air for one calendar month over Christmas. This is identical to Australia - where because of C5 paying most of the production costs for the show, the show is now only off air for around 4 weeks of the year, as opposed to around 8-9 for H&A.

It has nothing to with C5's monetary input, as Neighbours has always roughly taken a 4 week break Down Under over Christmas / summer time. It has everything to do with the respective networks both soaps air on, and their rating system. The summer time is part of the non-rating period, so Seven stop H&A just before December as any episodes during this time won't count in the ratings; Ten have never followed it quite so strictly.

Had no idea C5 had so much input. I just assumed they bought rights to show the programme and that was it...
