#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 ?

Oops, is somebody in trouble then ?


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.

It looks like they've gone for a very functional studio, and are just utilising the view to add interest to the picture. But with the windows that visible, they could have some very "interesting" problems with sunlight (dark mornings aren't the problem - it's the bright sunny mornings that are), the vision engineers are going to have fun with that!


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.

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