GMTV (1993 - 2010)

Doesnt the Morning News presenter also cover the London regional news on GMTV? So if money it be saved and the morning news presenter does Daybreak news and London regional news, the regional news slots would need to be kept away from the Daybreak news bulletins

Couldn't you just do an opt? Daybreak news presenter does the national bulletin, regions opt out, and then Daybreak presenter reads on into the London news.

If you engineered the right junction it could appear pretty seamless. The BBC used to do the same thing - pretty much - when 60 Minutes and the South East at Six local news both came from Lime Grove ISTR.

I can't see the Morning News being dropped, if Daybreak was using the ITV News branding then it might have been dropped, but seeing as the Daybreak logo has nothing to do with ITV/News branding I would say the news is safe.

I'm glad you noticed my comparison - unlike the tedious Facebook ones - was sarcastic.

Well sarcasm being such a rare thing on TV Forum you'll have to forgive me.



Well that's what happens at lunchtime, I know there is a break thesedays between the two but when there was a mid-morning regional summary it would go directly from the ITN Endcap to the London Today titles.

I am imagining the news on Daybreak will be a similar format to what it is now GMTV, a little desk on the far left of the studio, almost the same with the same backdrop, of course a real one this time, so I couldn't see a problem with the London News being done with the same presenter.

i don't think the programme needs a newsreader just let adrian and christine do the news and keep the LT Newsreader to do a round up during loraine and also if you do need one make helen presenter of the 530 and then brand it as an itv news summary for the news update.

then she can go next door (like the news at 1:30) to front the LT round ups. saves money instead of having 2 presenters .

I'm very much enjoying all this certainty members are demonstrating about the location of newsdesks times of updates and such and such - when in actual fact no one (with the possible exception of the insiders) have a clue what the programme will be like. At all.

Its all *super*.

Yes, a sep newsdesk and reader WITHIN the studio

I would like to See Chris Roberts who until recently was on sky news . he did a great job on saturday live which was like a magazine show and is knowlageble about both news and sport.

he also is experienced and got a journlistic backgroudn which daybreak needs its presenters to be . also Isla Traquir former five news presenter she would do well if they did a weekend.

Will this be Helen Fospero? Has she been confirmed as being involved in Daybreak?

I was the original poster though!
