I hope if Matt and Ranvir are no longer being kept on at Daybreak / GMB that they go to ITV News...

They've not missed a trick at all, Good Morning Great Britain is an awful mouthful and far more pompous than Good Morning Britain. There's also the (limited) nostalgia factor but I feel many younger people are going to think of Good Morning America rather than TV-am.
They do seem to be putting this out there as a change of name rather than a new programme, despite new presenters and a new studio. I wonder if that's a contractual thing.

Missed a trick there by not calling it 'Good Morning Great Britain'. The Good and the Great giving a positve spin and the initials GMGB rhyme with the old faithful GMTV
