So changes afoot as Daybreak's news team is to merge with ITV News. Daybreak head of news Alan Rook is joining the ITV News management team.

Mike Jermey, director of News, Current Affairs and Sport at ITV said: "We'll be holding regular meetings with the Daybreak news team to discuss the output and to begin the process of developing a more closely co-operative model across the whole of ITV News."

So will we be seeing Daybreak reporters on ITV News? Will it work both ways?

I think this article makes a few thing clearer that MG article.

Quote:
...It was also announced today that the Daybreak news team will be merged with ITV News. In a statement Michael Jermey, director of news, current affairs and sport at ITV, said the ambition was to "create one ITV News".

"We want to continue to improve what we do, both through all the parts of ITV News working together more closely than ever before and through new investment in the areas that need greater resource. This will include a greatly increased commitment to our news services online and on digital platforms, renewed focus on coverage of the year's big stories, enhancements to our specialist journalism, and investment in training and staff development...

The appearance of the lower blinds is covering scaffolding work being carried out to build a Daybreak roof terrace for the summer.

New sofa on Monday as the current one has been given to Ant and Dec, new shape and new but familiar colour.


What is this area near the green room then?

The majority of this review won't be carried over to on screen. Daybreak reporters may occasionally appear on ITV News and vice versa but that already happens, and thats about the extent I expect to see it. I don't think there will be any new sets or graphics just yet for Daybreak, ITV News or regional news, as much as the latter two need it.

That's a very definite statement given your numerous "I think" comments in the rest of the post.
