I think ITV have to give it until early next year before making any huge changes otherwise they may run the risk of loosing the viewers still with it.

I don't think ITV are known for their patience.

I've noticed they've moved the camera angles so that prior to dawn you can see the big clock behind them. They've also increased the lighting around this. Looks a lot better than it did. They've also put new backs onto the sofa, clearly to stop them from slouching. Not sure why there is an over load of orange squares behind the newsreader, the one that was there was enough.

Finally, they should really consider moving the weather to a CSO. The videowall with the clear breaks in between is nice in a retro way for performances and other standing up bits but it just isn't very practical.

^ Yes, while it's still dark (pretty much the whole show now) they use this nice orange background with the clock.

I do like Daybreak however I do think Christine Bleakley should be replaced by either Kate Garraway or even bring Emma Crosby back.

I am surprised we have not seen more of Gráinne Seoige.

I remember the big breakfast moving the presenters chairs away from the french windows quite often, this was usually around the dark months too.

Thought I'd record Daybreak this morning so I could see how it's changed. It is a lot better than the first episode, lots of the gimmicks have gone and the whole thing flows so much better. The yellow wall/clock background is nice.

It's actually not a bad programme now, it does have quite a GMTV feel to it in places but far less pedestrian.

Is the axe about to fall on Daybreak?

What a stupid article. The whole thing makes out that the show will be axed until the last paragraph that says ITV bosses have dismissed the claim.

I struggle to believe the show would be axed in four weeks time; it would have been a complete waste of money and what would go in its place? The new year I suspect will see a revamp that will make the show very GMTV and probably without AC and CB.

Yes, what exactly would 'sources in Dublin' know about it!?

I don't think there's any chance of the programme just disappearing, it will almost certainly change - whether it's different presenters, different format or different name. They will change it until it does work but axing the whole thing isn't an option

True. I do think they need to give it a few months, these things just don't change overnight.
