The original hours were 6-9:15 as mentioned above, later revised to 9:25am, though I seem to remember they had 5:55am-9:15 initially for some reason that eludes me, though as 24hr broadcasting became more common, those 5 minutes went bye bye.
Though as it turned out anyway TV-am pushed back their start time to 6:15 and later 6:25 to save some money, though they did eventually come back to 6:15 but I think they didn't return to a 6am start until around the strike period.
