Good Morning Britain - the launch

They were probably watching the online stream.

Online stream?

Tbh, it's always confused me why itv news isn't fully integrated with itv breakfast etc. It just seems strange, with effectively different companies running regional itv, national itv and GMB.

So, where do they do the weather from then? A closer look would suggest it's not that screen on the viewer's left of the desk as it's not big enough.


Appears to be a screen though, as there are two bits of reflection of herself on the top left from other monitors or something. I think Laura walks away somewhere during the sponsor sting before the weather starts.

Do ITN do the London regional insert?

Well presumably the contract to provide news for GMB would have to be put out to tender and ITN would have to put a bid in. Maybe when the ITV News contract next comes up it could include breakfast, but that would mean effectively STV and UTV were contributing financially to content that is not even during their airtime.

Edit: Also still noticing colour difference with the central screen

I can't be bothered to read all comments, I've got a life to live LOL.

My thoughts.

Too loud. Too many presenters. Still too much fluff. Too many graphics going on (talk about onscreen crap). Weather screen too blurry. Yeah, don't like it really. Unless they get rid of 2 presenters and make it double headed and kill some graphics etc then I won't be watching again. BBC Breakfast rules

Only bit I did like was the titles

My thoughts:
Intro:
I'm an Australian who always hears Duran Duran as my breakfast show opener, so the trumpets made a huge impact and made me excited for news, not made me going on an 80s song spree after the opener. I gotta admit, it's a bit American but it is actually not ripping off the opening of the show (using the same exact presentation as Today.)
Presentation: (astons, ticker and more):
The itv.com/gmb ,the #gmb part and the weather part was very distracting and ITV has to slow it down imo. The first presenter ashton was very narrow. Very good so far.
Presenters:
All of the presenters did a very good job with the exception of the ANDI PETERS (terrible).
Regional news handovers:
It's alright, but the pre-recorded part imo, is buggy in some areas in the UK, so I say until ITV makes it less buggy, just go straight to the local news.
Overall, it's a better effort than Daybreak, and it's more news oriented which is good. ITV has to fix some certain bugs but this show made BBC Breakfast look boring. Good job, ITV!

One change from yesterday: the ITV DOG has moved to the right of the screen. It was clashing with the Live bug yesterday.

It's moved on ITV HD but strangely not on ITV.

Robbie williams story creeping in the schedule at 6:15:/ although, the rest of the show feels a lot more settled now.
