Good Morning Britain

Well that's wiped from the memory but I don't think it was that long until Dan and Kate did Fridays regularly. I think Aled Jones had to do five days a week too.

I get the logic of having a more prominent B-team so when the main hosts are off it's not a complete change for viewers, and of course there are other reasons why the main hosts may get a three or four day week, but there are other ways of doing it by having the regular stand ins have regular roles within the programme, often being the newsreader and sports reporter.

Susanna has finally got her own show, after all she was rumoured to be given her own show back in 2014:

Richard Arnold came back and discussed this year's UK Eurovision Song Contest entries as earlier in the show.

Not what I suspect she signed up to ITV to do. Also surprised GMB still have the old presenter shot at the end of the Youtube vids.

I certainly think she's better than her new show, but it's good she's been given something else. I think I'd rather she either did something newsier or the actual news though. She's very good at serious, and it would do good for the credibility of GMB if she did ITV News cover as well as Ranvir.

I'm not sure if Julie Etchingham ever takes a week off standing outside in the cold saying three lines to introduce someone elses report on Tonight, but if she did deputising in that role would be a practical and quite easy way to give her primetime current affairs exposure.

Firstly you assume she wants the credibility, many, like Kate Garraway and Lorraine Kelly have moved from news to fluff and have never looked back.

Secondly, this new show is a spin off of a show currently airing hosted by Sian Williams, also formerly of Breakfast, so it's obviously going with a journalistic angle.

Ranvir has been appointed Good Morning Britain political editor (a new role):

Interesting, it seems that Charlotte wants to come back to GMB full time so they've moved Ranvir into the 'Poltical Editor' role.

It's a good gig for Ranvir, as she'll appear most, if not every day.

She was slated to be Editor before Sue left, on day one it was something like 'our new face of politics, Clodagh Higginson, joins us now' and after a few of her disastrous live links, got credited as correspondent.

Well done Ranvir.

I was wondering just this morning where Clodagh had gone. It's been Richard Gaisford at Westminster most days recently. Clodagh was a bit of a flop and seemed rather worried about fluffing up whenever she was on. Good decision in my opinion, I have always been a fan of Ranvir so well done to her!

Such an odd choice, wonder why clodagh has left.

So if Ranvir is taking on this role what does it mean for her role as Friday newsreader and ITV News presenter,
My guess is we will now have
Piers & Susanna (Mon-Wed), Ben & Susanna (Thu), Ben & Kate (Fri)
Charlotte would read news everyday except Thursday, Kate would read news on Thursday.
Kate, Charlotte & Sean would fill in as main presenters.
