Good Morning Britain - 2015 Refresh/Tweaks

The local ITV news is terrible in the morning, its like a race. I'm not saying make the local news 30 minutes but at least make it about 5 minutes. If your bringing in presenters to do the local ITV news, i'm sure 5 minutes of local news wouldn't hurt.

I mean when they do the local weather, its finished in a blink of an eye. People dont want rushed local news, people are just waking up.

... They need to sort them region graphics out, at the moment they will be better of just showing a clock or something.

I'm sure 99% of people (yes even those ITV mums) want NEWS, not constant crap. They just need to present it to appeal to an ITV audience. They also need to stop these so called presenters that are just there because there presenters like Doctor Hillary, all that doctor stuff just seems "cheesy".

The X Factor 2016

I suspect they will change the set this year for the live shows, since they did with BGT and they haven't done it for a whole...

I believe Simon will axe the x factor after its contract runs out after this year & next, BGT will probably keep going to another 3 years or so.

Should be interesting to see how everything works out this year

What this show really needs is someone like Eamonn Holmes with another female presenter and have natural good chemistry. All these "setup" stunts like Susana dress coming undone etc.. with Kate Garraway shouting at you first thing in the morning is not very inviting. In my opinion it needs to be calm, warm, more natural BUT with more news rather than crying babies every morning as the top story.

I dont know why ITV have to poach people all the time (They should have learnt from Daybreak V1), what's wrong with some home-grown talent rather than people you seen before time and time again. The problem is Susana is alternating the viewers, Mums dont like her as shes to "business" and shes pretending to be "mum friendly" for GMB V2, the whole things just not natural enough and seems fake.

Its probably me going mad, I still have a feeling at the start of the 2015 "lighter" GMB they used this on the :45 headlines.

Not sure If I was going mad but were they using the old 2014 theme on the news update with Kate this morning?

Windows 10

In my personal opinion Microsoft need to simplify things, I think its a good thing there forcing updates on home users as it will hopefully stop people from moaning "I want an Apple computer as they don't get viruses". I don't personally like that discussion but its the right thing to do.

I believe they way they did Microsoft RT was wrong, but I think its a bid idea axing the idea of cheaper Surface devices. There biggest mistake was they put a desktop on RT devices, I believe axing them was wrong as some people just want a tablet with the benefits of MS Word etc...

I believe there should be two versions of Windows, a home version and a business one. Maybe put there Visual Studio software in that package, give it some real benefits for businesses.

They also need to stop having 2 control panels, etc.. Hopefully the final version they will stick all the settings in the new metro UI instead of having them in two places.

Think its time to bring back the red sofa, shove it in the middle of the studio, paint it all orange, promote Lorraine Kelly and Kate Garraway as main presenters. Do that for a year, then scrap the whole show and launch another.

I should be ITVs main advisor...

Dont know why but I have a funny feeling they are regretting some of the January Changes. However, the graphics were a mess. Bit odd they started off with Ben Shepard aswell.

Glad to see the old theme back and voice-over, don't know whether it all goes back to normal Monday. I know it was the election, however I really saw some GMB 1 back.

The only thing was I did see that daybreak Presenter calling thing in the TOTH, hope thats not coming back!

Most people don't even know there watching Good Morning Britain at my work, always hear "Did you see that story on GMTV this morning?"

Take a look at Wikipedia under "Reception"

"Despite bosses best efforts to make Good Morning Britain work, it was announced that it would end in September 2015"

But then again... we are talking about Wikipedia and is probably not true.
