I dont think Fiona Armstrong lasted long on GMTV.

I remember in the early days of GMTV they had more regional bulletins, now we only have 3.

Interesting now that I have actually seen them.

They are quite nice, it's just a shame that they haven't got actual titles, surely instead of the circles they could just have their faces appear in the rays of the sun (close up) against the sky before pulling out to the logo.

I quite like the astons with the spinning logo. Are these only used on the so called titles?

Yes they are. they have got the old sting. They are to short. I would Expect a bit more.

I've noticed that they have changed the theme music again (from yesterday morning), they've jazzed it up a bit more. Still too short though.

It changed on Monday, they have added an electronic guitar and some spacey sound effects. I actually quite like the new jazzed up version. Just a shame they cant change all the music to reflect it.

I've just been watching some clips of NBC Today as from Wednesday they launched with a new set to go along with Meredith Vieira joining the team, does anyone else think this should be the route GMTV Today goes down, they have a very nice new studio and relaxed feel to the whole show.

It does look very nice indeed.

The problem that GMTV seem to have is that they are scared to changed too much. Any drastic changes that they make usually end up getting reversed. It would be nice if they could have a similar set up to that of NBC Today, but it would either mean paying more for the former London Tonight studio, or converting some shop/building in the centre of London into a studio and then getting all of the equipment themselves, etc.

Last time they changed, viewers complained, thats why they don't change much.

Yeah, we very nearly lost Fiona due to very serious kidney failiure.
