Relevant 8 months ago. GMTV has been outperforming BBC break again lately. During the Mumbai bombings, more people watched GM than Breakfast. Or to put it another way - the worlds smallest newsgatherer beat the worlds largest.
Knock GM by all means, but it does achieve targets and upset rivals while having a little fun in the morning. Night night.

I could have understood if it was advertising features for after the relaunch. But perhaps they are testing the waters with their new logo and getting people used to it ahead of the relaunch, so they know its still the same GMTV?

Well well, interesting reactions so far. Will be fun to see the jaws drop on Jan 5th.

I'm no fool. I know that it does not take that long to reorganise a studio, especially at this time of year with a quiet newscentre . Anybody who has at least one ounce of experience in any broadcast industry coould tell you that. Take a look back over this thread, things have been happening now for a couple of weeks and there will no doubt be a rapid progression.
My time at sky news - as I've said before - is over now, but that doesn't mean to say that I don't know the tricks and mindset etc, that said as my previous posts show I wouldn't bet on what I say when predicting the actions of Mr Ryley and Birkett. Not that you would anyway.

Moz - I think they moved into the virtual studio at 2 when Sascha took over, as they were definitely in the real studio this morning, because they were using the jib, ever since 2 the v/o has had a simple camera zoom.

And although it is costly to do work at this time of year the news scene is (relatively - after today) quiet. They haven't got a full workforce in, and the operation is slowing down now. The renovations will be done in time for the return after New Year. It'll be interesting to see what happens to Sunrise tomorrow morning .

So this whole revamp thing could just simply be a touch up as described previously ?

would be a shame if this whole post was just a hoax

Although I would urge you not to read anything printed in The Sun as gospel truth, you have to remember that GMTV Executives would be aware of Ms Crosby's contractual obligations before offering her a post.

If the article is true then no doubt GMTV have either negotiated a settlement for her early release from BSkyB or are in the process of doing so. Either way, it's hardly an issue for discussion on here.
