Piers Morgan to leave GMB

Aside from the story - on a technical point, isn't it normal for the studio presenters to see the final output?

I found Susanna's claim "I had no idea that was on the screen" a little surprising. Perhaps the text was too small for her to read a distance or something, rather than she couldn't see any text on screen at all...?


You've answered this yourself - perhaps also adding the fact that as a presenter you're busy maintaining eye contact with a camera lens and every other screen in the studio is in your peripheral vision - you'd only glance at it briefly during a VT to check you're not still cut to air.

ITV abandons the South Bank

ITN are apparently not part of this move and never have been. It's sad that the focus on these forums is the trivial stuff without consideration or reflection for the 200 or so extremely talented people who will shortly be out of work. It is these people that have been the driving force in the success of big studio shows across all channels for so many years, and cannot easily be replicated wholesale. Whatever your taste in tv programming, the standards will fall with every large and experienced studio base being shut. In my opinion this more of a travesty and worthy of discussion far more than any minor change in how a daytime magazine show looks.
