The one you are calling 'Percussion' is the best in my opinion!
Bored one morning, I actually timed the opt, Calendar News went like this:
0.00 GMTV Sting
0.05 Welcome and Story No. 1
0.40 Story No.2
1.05 Story No.3
1.30 A report for story no.3
1.50 Travel News
2.13 GMTV Logo
2.15 Today's weather in association with the Spontex Cleaning Range
2.27 This Morning
2.37 This Afternoon
2.45 Sunset and Sunrise
2.55 GMTV Today Sting
Talking about annoying sponsorship, the 'feeling blurry' LK sponsorship isn't good on your eyes in the morning either!

I'm going to be picky now - actually the total opt duration is 2.50" which includes a 12" weather sponsorship sting, currently Spontex on a rotation of Breakdance, Robot and Percussion.

Oh no, those used to make me sick. All that spinning around, leaving the people dizzy and everything messed up. Not the kindest thing to show people three times a morning at that indecent time of the day.
I think there must be new Bounce stings otherwise we'd be told to reuse the old ones - and we haven't....

Only three stories in the opt is a bit poor, I don't think regions should run long reports - just nibs.

Well that *is* good news. I have nothing against Bounce or Typhoo [I don't think I've ever used either of them mind], but really -- the people who designed the sponsor stings, what were they thinking with all the spinning and bluriness?
Not connected to the sponsorship, but that Bazuka advert has been on every commercial break within GMTV time, every day, for years! But it's never on at any other time of the day [is morning a good time for verucca sufferers?]. The audio splashes are awful [the tape's probably worn out now], it's still in old 4:3, and the kid in it is probably now 27.
Oh and Fiona Phillips is going to be on Celebrities Under Pressure on Saturday [if you're that way inclined] -- she has to learn and be able to perform forty judo moves!

London Today during GMTV never have reports, there's news and then they have the Travel News with Gemma Hadley at Traffic Link, followed by weather read out by the presenter (normally Paul Greene) which has pics of London and a bar across the screen with a brief summary of the weather.
