GMTV (1993 - 2010)

No, but would like it too. It was a sort of pared-back, differently paced version of the theme music, used from the start as a general backing theme, before being re-purposed as the original News Hour opening music. Shame they saw fit to replace it.

It looked very formal by then, just Lorraine on her own linking in and out of ad breaks, news bulletins and weather forecasts

Is this the opening in question?

They were very much in TV-am (panic and copy everything) mode at this stage.

Yes thankyou. Maybe this music was used for longer than I thought as this was april 94.

Political Correspondent Gloria de Piero is to leave the company

Question is...
Where are they going to put the kitchen currently under construction?

So this Kitchen is actually happening?

A good move for her I guess, she seems to be getting her feet under the table at Channel 5/Sky News and when Melinda leaves Live From Studio Five, no doubt Gloria will become the official replacement (with other stand ins every now and again which has so far been confirmed). And then if Studio Five is axed, I'd say she would become the most likely to revive Five News at 7.

I have a feeling the news will move infront of the CSO again. With a very compact kitchen being built in the current news area?

Unless they build it in the 'web lounge' - that has a nice skyline view.

it's not a company anymore....just another programme on ITV1....like 'All Star Mr + Mrs' or 'Dancing on Ice Friday'.

It is still a company, see GMTV Ltd.
