Daybreak

TVRav on twitter :

#daybreak press pictures from launch on midnight embargo, so expect to see them in the morning papers. Straw pole feedback, very positive

Oops, is somebody in trouble then ?

Best Article I've read about the launch.

I think he may be referring to 'official' photographs. Surely they can't have expected 100 journalists to walk through the studio's and not one of them take a picture? Plus the embargoed pictures may be more wide, i.e. showing the news area?

On another topic, this show is all about the ratings. On the GMTV Facebook page right now, you've got a few people saying they will turn over, some saying they will give it a chance - but the vast majority saying 'GMTV wasn't broke, these presenters are dull' - now, I've always watched GMTV and do prefer it to BBC Breakfast, but even I, in the past few years, have noticed a decline in GMTV's reporting. It's become so tacky!

So with that in mind, I'm wondering about viewing figures - IMO, I cant see them beating BBC Breakfast soon. That said, after this whole thing dies down about 'GMTV getting scrapped, presenters getting sacked' I can actually see a lot of people moving to Daybreak - I think the media attention around this new programme may be its downfall in the first few weeks.

Are they utilising a polarsing filter like Rosco View?

Requires a polarising sheet on the window, as well as on each camera; but can at least be set and reset, (perhaps during commercials), depending on the changeable weather.

Surely the media attention will encourage people to watch, initially?

It's just the feeling I got from reading comments on the GMTV Facebook page, a lot of them are saying they will turn off because of the Adrian and Christine focus.

haha I had to laugh a little when I saw this photo

Interesting that Lorraine is only working Mon-Thurs. Guest presenter every Friday. Surprised she managed to compromise on that.

Well she has only ever done two days in the past I think, two live two recorded. What Queen Lorraine wants she shall get

I don't know why - but I would have considered buying that for good money.

I am liking what i am seeing my vizion for the programme was similar to this and the group photo is also good just one question were is Gavin R , Nick D, Cordellia K and Johnathon S .

Also can I just say thank you to all those who provided links and pictures as they provided very intresting viewing/reading im looking forward to seeing the show next week can somebody confirm there will be a news area or will there be like sunrise were the newsreader sits at the desk .
