Even the geekiest TV Forum USA geeks aren't going to be getting up at 1am to watch this.

If it's the same as ITV Hub, they edit out the regional news.

Its a streaming service so getting up at 1am is unlikely and not what they are expecting people to do. Remember Britbox is a North American service. Not just USA. Emmerdale, Corrie, Eastenders etc are all same-day posted to the service around 4pm ET. So likely after GMB and This morning have gone out they will then be posted several hours later to the service most likely 7 or 6am ET time for people to watch when they get up. Though BritBox has live streamed some programmes. Royal Wedding, the Edinburgh Tattoo etc.

When Radio 1 was broadcast on Sirius XM it was time-shifted so for example Chris Moyles went out at the same time as here.

It doesn't say it will be streamed live. For those who can't be bothered to read the article...

BBC and ITV-owned streaming service Britbox has struck a deal to air GMB, packaging together the breakfast show with fellow ITV programme This Morning for a weekly recap titled “This Morning: This Week”.

It's a (EDIT not weekly) best of compilation

That's not what the tweet says. weekdays from Sept 24 The weekly recap is only This Morning. GMB is a daily stream.

Ahhh so maybe not weekly.... but it doesn't say it's a 'live stream'

Well if does stream live at the time it airs, which the service has the capability to do, it will also likely capture it daily for a VOD playback when people wakeup. Not really an issue.

GMB is every weekday, This Morning : This Week is a weekly compilation.
