Interesting information on Wikipedia, concerning GMTV, have a read below:
From September 2009, GMTV will see a massive improvement with 3D graphics and logos, better animations using VizRT, glass wipes, voice overs, extension of the new opening and ending sequences, new set, new website design at www.gm.tv, new theme music and headline beds and a new essentially fundamental look. Also smooth and slick transitions and huge technical upheavals. The programming has also changed with GMTV now running for 210 minutes.
What's on GMTV:
6.00 to 7.30 am - A 90 minute show devoted to news and current affairs presented by John Stapleton, Penny Smith, Priya-Kaur Jones or Richard Gaisford.
7.30 to 8.30 am - An hour show kicking off with the morning news, views, weather, human-interest stories, entertainment, showbiz, lifestyle features and special guests presented by Emma Crosby & Andrew Castle or Ben Shephard & Kate Garraway .
8.30 to 9.25 am - Lorraine Kelly presents.
There are significant changes in GMTV's service provision planned in 2009. During late 2009, GMTV plan to move GMTV to Lorraine from 09:25am to 10:00am. GMTV will also be adding further exclusive webcast content. This means GMTV will broadcast the full 205 minutes from 06:00am to 9:25am then after the main show, Lorraine will take over for half-hour. This is to be promoted on-air and to drive viewers to continue their viewing experience on GMTV. In addition viewers will soon see the full development of GMTV programming between 06:00am and 09:30am on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. The pre-school programming will move to ITV4 provided by UK independent production company Darrall Macqueen Limited. This is an area where GMTV intend to develop further there commitment to seek partnerships with British pre-school programming makers and to make GMTV a new home for this threatened genre of programming. GMTV are also continuing to develop our digital children's output via ITV4 where they are also seeing some success and making some move towards picking up some of the audience that they have lost from the weekday terrestrial programme to this area.
Can anyone confirm if the above is true?

They will
not
build a new set. Not at all.
They also wouldn't have a show starting at 7.30.
Although I presume this is all lies, I think GMTV being on air 6:00AM until 10:00AM would be a good idea. Lorraine would present from 9:00AM until 10:00AM and then ITV could have a half-hour programme leading into This Morning.

The thing found on Wikipedia is a load of rubbish, especially as there is talk to integrate GMTV back into ITV1. If anything it would be shortened to 9am, not extended until 10am. As much as people loathe it, Jeremy Kyle is very popular in the 9.30am slot and by shortening the gap between GMTV and This Morning, it could have a negative impact on This Morning.
It can be dispelled on the grounds that LK Today finishes at 9.25am throughout September 2009, and we'd have heard something by now.

I thought it turned out they're cutting back production to 3 new shows per week and 2 repeats instead of a clean axe? If it is axed completely no doubt something along the lines of 'No Place Like Home' will replace it, its probably far cheaper than running GMTV for another half hour and finding a half hour daytime show that works.
Jeremy Kyle is being axed though, so they need a new hour to fill once that ends.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's being cut back to 3 episodes, before disappearing altogether early next year.

You're probably right, its not really something I've chosen to follow and have just glanced on in passing. I just remember hearing something about 3 new episodes after I read it had been axed so I thought the media might have just got the wrong end of the stick or something.

I notice that you've already removed this dubious information from the GMTV wiki page.
I also doubt whether any of it was true.
Don't rely on Wikipedia, the above is probably false.

No new set, no new programming, no new music.
Same titles with an animating 3d GMTV logo flying forward to reveal a back of studio shot and a V/O (female) saying "You're watching GMTV with Xxxx & Xxxx"
New straps, new longer ticker, new animations, new glass wipes.
