I like graphics, you like discussions of strangers' personal life foibles.

You have to wonder about the "journalists" writing these stories, I mean, do they really think we'll switch on our TV's next Monday morning and there will be a brand new presenter with a brand new show. Surely, they're intelligent enough to realise it is likely to be an announcement next week. Or are they?!


As a wise man (by which I mean Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage) once said: "Most 'journalists' couldn't write their own name in sh*t during a dirty protest on the H Block." Amen to that.

Here's my not-at-all-made-up, exclusive, genuine, confirmed, insider information:

Susanna Reid and Richard Bacon will be on ITV's fantastic and totally new breakfast show from 6am - 8:30am on Monday 3rd March 2014.

In anticipation of the guaranteed tidal wave of new viewers who will desert BBC Breakfast en masse to follow Susanna as she jumps ship, the set/titles*/music (etc) are all staying exactly the same as currently (*titles re-done, in an identical style to now, except reading "Good Morning Britain" instead).

As the huge glut of new viewers will never have seen the current (or, indeed, any incarnation of) Daybreak anyway, why bother with the expense of a new look?! The current look will be "new" to all the new viewers! Plus, there is now no more budget at ITV plc Breakfast Broadcasting GMTV Daybreak Ltd (or whatever it's legal company name is this week) to afford a new look anyway, after the expense of poaching Susanna in the first place.

All of the above is absolute cold hard fact. Brought to you by Rice Krispies Squares.

"GMTVBreak" as I like to call it obviously isn't working .I personally enjoy the current program with the news hour from six and the "GMTV Today" type of strand from seven. In my opinion its a really refreshing , fun and informative start to the day compared to highbrow , dull Breakfast. I don't understand why this isn't working but that's just my opinion. I will be interested to see what Susanna has to offer for ITV Breakfast

Come one they would have to create new titles , new set and a new look overall...


Did you really not comprehend that the entire tone of my post was sarcastic and not even remotely serious? Rolling Eyes

Mysterious as always, anoilyrag. Smile Either that's the date something is announced, or the day something happens to the show... but, at least we have a date.

Also, on that date, Eamonn Holmes will wear some form of tie and sit behind a desk next to a screen on "Sunrise"... he said in a fruitless attempt to be Sky's answer to anoilyrag, before whom we all bow! Laughing

You might find Breakfast dull/serious news, but it's hardly highbrow.
