Why not rename GMTV Today to just 'TODAY'

"Good morning you're watching TODAY, from GMTV its 8 minutes after the top of the hour now a new health report out today in the medical journal says that we should all be eating more protien foods, to discuss this more i'm joined by our resident Dr, Dr Hillary Jones"

sorry getting a bit carried away as usual.

‘TODAY’

Fiona : It’s three years since the fall of Saddam Hussein and yet the violence continues in Iraq. Can there ever be peace in Iraq or is it on the verge of a Civil War? That is our main story Today, Monday 10th April 2006

Fiona : A very good morning too you all it is seven o’clock throughout the UK. Were going to be talking in depth about Iraq, that’s coming up shortly.

Ben : Good Morning, also coming up, where is the justice? A school boy is knocked down and killed by an illegal immigrant and only get 4 months in prison. That shocking story on its way and free broadband for all? Is that really possible our whiz kid Richard Gaisford is here to discuss that.

Fiona : But first, Owen Thomas has joined us on the sofa for a summary of this mornings main news.

Owen : Good morning Fiona and Ben. Three people have been killed In a……

Fiona : Its 8 minutes past the top the hour on this Monday morning. Its three years since the fall of Saddam and everyday since there has been violence. A newly formed government of Iraq is starting to take shape, but how long will it be before Iraq is free from the violence from the insurgents? From Baghdad is CBS News’s Lara Logan and here in the studio is former military general….

It sounds walm and friendly. Also, GMTV get quite a number of viewers from Europe, especially Spain (British holidaymakers) where they watch the show (usually illegally) and GMTV have mentioned this but they don't seem to mind!

This morning's GMTV ended silently, with a dedication to Jeremy King (IIRC) who had obviously recently passed away, and then the silence continued to the end "See you tomorrow..." graphic. Anyone know anything about Jeremy King?

Don't think this has been mentioned but I tuned in again this week to find that GMTV News in Northern Ireland has got a new look. Anyone know when this happened?

Here's some caps of the new "studio". The screen has quite a nice animation going on in the background:

Here's the new astons. They animate on, revealing themselves from the left, and fade off:

And lastly, the new weather graphics. The new graphics are 3D; they start with an overhead shot and then zoom in under the clouds to show the map underneath:

The new look is much nicer than what we had before!

Why is GMTV northern Ireland branded as that when gmtv midlands is branded as central news (i.e. as normal bulletins)

Because GMTV news in Norhern Ireland isn't provided by UTV Live (our "local ITV news"). It is provided by a separate company called Macmillan Broadcasting.

so does the late UTV live promote the local news within GMTV next morning?
