Good Morning Britain - the launch

Looks quite promising so far, hope this finally works for itv. Hated Susanna on breakfast but for some reason actually like her on this, the team look brill together.Very fast paced and American style but so far love it.

Seems we have a good look at news, sport, entertainment in the first 15/20 minutes. Reminder of the headlines at :20 past.

Brilliant headline music.

That weather map looks very BBC

The theme is beautiful

This is just spectacular so far. They've only gone and got it right.

Well #GoodMorningBritain is in the top 5 trends on Twitter already...That can only be a good thing?

You know how the regions on GMB will be branded as 'Good Morning London' 'Good Morning Central' etc based on twitter posts.

Will Scotland be branded 'Good Morning Scotland' or will that not be allowed as it's the same as BBC Radio Scotland's morning show?

Agreed.

I'm surprised at how I'm feeling about Susanna now, as I always found hers "obnoxious" before.

Her banter with Ben is very pleasing. I liked her jokey "teenage girl" squeal at the mention of One Direction.

So when is Ron Burgundy coming on...

Tyne Tees meessed up the Ben Shephard intro.

I presume the "glass" door on the left is in fact a printed image of a fake CGI corridor?

well how did they do that handover?! Did Ben do them for all the regions?
