Well i personally would like that. It does seem they have made very small changes this week, what with the whats coming up bit, among other things.

A Weekend GMTV Today would do well.

Due to the ever decreasing viewers and advertising revenue generated by children's programmes, it seems we may possibly start to see either Newshour or GMTV Today on Bank Holiday Mondays

In its own strategy report for 2007, GMTV points out an expected "continual erosion" of its kids audiences at weekends. As a result GMTV has made a "small change" to its programming strategy that will see the production of adult appeal news-based programming on "a number" of bank holiday Mondays instead of children's shows.


Bet you won't see Mrs Frizzel out of bed on a Bank Holiday, if that happens!

Do you think GMTV will get a new look studio, etc, like LK today did? LK Today is much better and I think the main show could benefit from a major revamp.

I think they are going a bit too far showing the News Hour on Easter Monday, there can't be that many people watching at 6am

It'd be better if they showed Wakey! Wakey! kids programmes at 6am, with GMTV Today starting at 7.30am

Or the good old days of Tommy Boyd, Michaela Strachan and Timmy Mallett being let loose on the TV-AM sofa set rather than WAC's on bank holidays, for reasons that I never quite got

I think they are over doing putting GMTV Today on the bank holidays. It's killing the dire show.
