I have a vague recollection of a mid-morning newsflash on ITV being provided by TV-AM on one occasion, and an even vaguer recollection that Gordon Honeycombe read it. No idea why ITN didn't do it.
GMTV is not an entertainment channel, its remit is to provide a mix of news and entertainment. The idea that it would pop up during This Morning or Loose Women is even odder than ITV1 asking GMTV to replace ITN during a news event because ITN aren't ready and GMTV's staff are well trained!
