If i'm ever not at school for some reason the days goes like this-6.50am alarm,Watch Breakfast,listen to BBC LDN 94.9,watch BBC schools programs,switch over to Bargian Hunt,then Wipeout,BBC LDN 94.9 agian until BBC LDN Lunchtime news,listen to BBC LDN again until 3.00 where I listen to Steve Wright on Radio 2 for an hour,4.00 listen to BBC LDN upstairs until 6.00 where I go on the internet. It's a busy life!
I was watching the other day and their top story was that Winny Wotsit had stolen some clothes from a shop. Who gives a ****
? There's a bloody war going on and their top story is about a shop lifting celeb.
GMTV is so desperately poor. I'm at a loss to understand how anyone can bear to watch it.
BBC Breakfast and Sky Sunrise may be a bit boring in the morning but at least they're not so painfully trivial.
I really do think that Channel 4 should put on a serious news programme in the morning, and Sky One could get a kids breakfast show on there instead.
I disagree, GMTV has always had a showbiz / lifestyle slant. The News Hour between 6am & 7am is the best time to catch the news on GMTV, thereafter it becomes a magazine style show. Which in my opinion is no bad thing, what is the point of BBC Breakfast, Sky etc. all doing the same thing. It's all about choice and alternatives and there is an audience for what GMTV puts out.

That's not their new slogan; it was just said during a recent trailer.
Don't get so excited.
Really? I didn't think it had been used yet!

I have to agree with you square eyes. I watch BBC Breakfast for the news (as I'm never up for the News Hour) and then watch GMTV Today for lifestyle/entertainment stuff. GMTV is brilliant though. I think though that if Eammon Holmes ever wanted to get on in news broadcasting, the BBC should snap him up for Breakfast and get shot of Jeremy Bowen!

I think GMTV is a good programme, FOR WHAT IT IS. It may not be the best place for serious news - but BBC Breakfast is just too serious for me in the mornings.
Don't get me wrong, I like serious news - but not first thing in the morning - GMTV has a good balance, and that is why it hammers BBC Breakfast in the ratings - very few people actually watch it.

I thought GMTV and BBC Breakfast were close in the ratings!

Do people really sit and watch the TV in the mornings? I'm far too busy rushing around getting ready for work to watch TV.
I'm sure others do get up at the crack of dawn and watch TV for a couple of hours before going to work. Personally, I don't understand it....
Hear, hear! Let's bring back the testcard until 9.00am on all channels except for BBC 2, who will show OU programmes until 12.30pm.
Re: the GMTV slogan, IMHO it's much better than 'TV Morning Programme of the Year 2001', which, as the most ametuerish of anoraks know, is factually wrong. (Since when was GMTV a programme?)

Isn't that slogan used on 'GMTV Today' trailers and end caps?
