Gmtv News

every time i have seen it,it has been poor

whoever was on this morning mucked the whole thing up you could even hear the other presenters laughing in the backround

every time I see your posts i think meh, go away kiddo

acctually its a standard thread regarding news presintation on GMTV.

theres no need to be like that

It's one of the poorest news bulletins IMO.

Yeh, they could make it a little more serious by having a more professional colour scheme and ditching the awful Kate Garraway from those bulletins.

moira stuart would be perfect, its just reader slot and the people they have now are rubbish,they cant make it trough a bullitin without mucking up and the other presenters laughing in the backround

now i am normally a breakfast viewer but i have seem gmtv news and i dread to think how penny smith makes it through the news hour

I doubt Moira would go to GMTV. I mean come on, can you see her cracking a joke at the end the report?

I like GMTV News! I think it's unprofessionality and light-heartedness works at that time of day, Penny's good fun - and they can do serious very well when they need to.

She didn't do too bad on HIGNFY, in my opinion...

I've never understood why GMTV run their own news operation. Surely it would be cheaper to either use ITN or Sky (as TV-am did in their dying days).

They used to take alot from Reuters in the early days of GMTV. But I agree in this day and age now it makes sense to outsource the News to ITN, make a bit of familiarity to ITV after 24 years. If they can get CITV branding on GMTV, whey they can't they with ITV News? It makes sense considering the fact fewer people watch GMTV and that they make less money now.

Even if they did take ITN or Sky feeds though for overseas stories, methinks they would send their own reporter to a UK location.

Only this week BBC Breakfast had Alex Bushell reporting for Breakfast in Devon, when surely a BBC South West reporter could've done it.

There is a very sloppy use of people who are already "in the right place" with regards to both BBC & ITV News operations. Sorry that's abit off-topic.
