As far as I'm aware, GMB still has it's own newsroom staffed by journalists who have been around since the GMTV era and have their own on-air reporters who are rarely seen on the main ITV News bulletins.

I thought ITV News now supplied the news for GMB anyway, and had done since for ITV Breakfast since Daybreak. I think they've got the balance right really - there is a link to ITV News there, but somewhat at arms length.

Ben, being a younger host, fits very very well into the new studio. He looks very relaxed

Yes but they use news content supplied by ITV News/ITN. Originally GMTVs news supplier was Reuters

ITV News supply news resources to the show via ITN I believe (crews, trucks and material), but GMB still has it's own, separate, news production operation which is part of the GMB production team AIUI. (i.e. the packages and bulletins are scripted and running orders produced by a GMB team not ITN staff)

ITV Daytime have a considerable amount of office space in the former BBC White City building just up the road from TV Centre. I'd expect the newsroom, next-day production teams and other ITV Daytime staff (production management, support etc.) to be based there, with on-the-day teams based in a production office near the studio at TV Centre.

With Richard Gaisford & Others. Someone know where they are ? Next to the Studio ?

How do you work that out?
Probably less stressful to get between TVC and BBC White City than between Studio 5 and the 18th Floor of Kent House.

Have to say I don’t see the point of the Sofa anymore. I’ve seen it used once so far all week for about 3 minutes and the only other time it is used is to have the guests waiting before they have their interview at the desk. I do think it looks nice and I would like to see it being use more, especially after 8:15 which is often the entertainment focused part of the show.

Even if the news production operation was part of ITN it would effectively be the same situation surely with a dedicated shift for the breakfast programming.

Well, probably. Breakfast has a team of reporters who work almost exclusively on the programme as well. It makes sense to do it like that given the hours they'll have to work.
