The All Day Breakfast Show was rebranded in September 2007 as The All Day Breakfast Show In Color, a weekly download fee of £2 being applied to the podcast. The full length podcast was made available solely through Wippit and edited highlights were made available as a teaser through iTunes.

The podcast went into hiatus after one week, numerous downloaders from Wippit being unable to access the material due to restrictions on available bandwidth. No official announcement was made for the cause of the hiatus - or if/when the podcast would return. However, after several weeks of silence, the All Day Breakfast Show officially announced its return to the air on the 19 October 2007. No announcement on the main website was given, but in a 5 minute mini-show downloadable initially only to paid subscribers who happened to check the download section of the website, Danny Baker and Baylen Leonard announced the return of the Show. They confirmed that from "next week" they would be broadcasting three times a week. The also suggested (possibly only partially in jest) that due to BBC cuts announced the previous day, that they may be planning to end their official BBC London show and move to being an "Internet Only" show. The mini-show also introduced a new recording of the Candyman theme tune that Danny explained had been recorded by Lou and Dennis Brimble who apparently perform at "The Jolly Gardeners" public house in Rotherhithe New Road which is Danny's local.

On Saturday 15 December 2007 Danny posted an open letter on both the ADBS and Baker and Kelly sites, saying 'It appals me to say it but there will be no more All Day Breakfast Shows nor Baker & Kelly's. There has now been an irreversible and utter breakdown between the on-air team and the company who have, with varying degrees of success, provided it to you online.'

The letter carried little hope for those who will share the sense of disappointment and frustration. Wippit responded on 17 December 2007 with the following announcement.

"Unfortunately the All Day Breakfast Show in COLOR has ceased to be due to a breakdown in contract negotiations between our company and Danny Baker. Mr. Baker did not wish to meet his agreed obligations regarding exclusivity and the new terms proposed by his agent were not acceptable to Wippit.

Last week Wippit offered Mr. Baker 100% of ADBS in COLOR revenues and declared no further interest in the podcast, but this offer was rejected by Baker’s agent.

With the exception of ADBS and Baker and Kelly none of the other seven podcasts produced by Wippit are affected."
