GMB had a rather weird start this morning. It cut from the ident to the hold card, before fading to the presenter shot with no headline graphics.
Maybe someone’s forgotten to do the opening graphics, it is Christmas Eve after all! 🙈

The irony is that if the BBC were advertising funded, ITV would probably quickly find themselves struggling to pay the guy’s wages.
I would gladly advocate the abolition of the licence fee, if one side effect were the disappearance of Piers from television (or, more ideally, from all media outlets of any kind).
There must be a loop hole in their quota of news to allow for this, otherwise OFCOM would be on them fast. I suspect ITV felt that since the 27th landed on a Friday, there was not much need for them to provide a proper breakfast service, as it was the end of a week.
Well in the past they've just aired CITV for most days during the period - does make little sense to produce a show today. Suspect they'll be live all next week apart from New Years Day.
Next year their annual news quota will probably be complete by the end of October with the half hour extension.

Last year they had shows on the 27th and 28th but that could be due to how the calendar fell.
I imagine due to the election, the current affairs quota has been exceeded even accounting for anything that's been shortened due to the RWC
