Daybreak to circa 1990s

How about a return to the old days - Good Morning Britain
Could possible emulate the success of Good Morning America on ABC


ABC often shorten the title down to GMA. GMB just doesn't have the same ring to it.

ITV Today maybe, like NBC Today - just called 'Today' or 'Today Show' on air.

Today wouldn't work for the general reason - BBC Radio 4 show is called Today and the BBC would have a field day if ITV named their breakfast show Today - because of the legal implications. GMB sounds 'ok' though

But, who shall co host with Adrian Chiles........possible names in the mix - Myleene Klass, Georgie Thompson (TVF's Preferred Choice), Christine Bleakley and Helen Fospero.

Can I also ask CrossChannel - whether a GMTV Weekend Edition is on the cards - to be hosted by Andrew and Emma or another anchoring to - in order to emulate the success of This Morning: Saturday and Sunday.

Very pleased to hear GMTV is going the old LNN studio, this should have been done years ago, the view is probably one of the best on British TV, better than that false crap we've had to see for dozens of years now, it might not feel as claustrophobic.

Although the GMTV brand/name has gained a bit of negative publicity in recent times, I still think they'd be daft to change it.

Please stop suggesting new names. It could be anything.

however, for several weeks every year the sun rises behind St Pauls during GMTV air time, but I'm sure they've considered that...

exactly - they were only in their a couple of days, so would have made little effort - this is, as Cross Channel put it a complete new launch!

Wheras for them couple of days the sofa was plonked in the studio. This time the sofa will be built around the studio/view!

Also read on The London Studio's website that Studio 7 has a balcony.

Indeed, exactly what I would have said.

I'm pretty sure they will have a couple of Gauze screens kicking around to get over that problem or some good filters on the camera lenses.

Is it me or does Kate actually come across as professional in that clip? Nothing like the noise she makes now.

The problem is with changing a name, is that there aren't really that many Breakfast themed Names you could use, unless you call it something like 'The Today Show' or 'Good Morning Britain'. I mean Down Under, they've got Breakfast and Sunrise (x2)
