The tweaks are definitely making it more watchable. Richard Arnold is somehow becoming more palatable and I've not seen Ross King in front of that bloody Hollywood sign recently too (just heard him oov on a report yesterday).

I think they need to define the presenter riles a bit though. It's clear that Charlotte is pretty much the news reader and Sean is the sport guy, so why not make more of that like the American shows it's modelled on?

Looking at the Facebook page, the amount of negativity has decreased a lot.


I agree. However I quite like how they use charlotte as more than just a news reader, mixes things up a little.

One thing I do wish is that they would use the interview area more often, they have had chances to such as this morning. It's feels like a waste not to!

Latest ratings: showing BBC Breakfast 1.47m | GMB 540,000

Of course it has - why would normal people keep on watching a programme they dislike, and then keep complaining about it on social media?

Because we like to feel hard done by and have a good moan?

The Daybreak page was like that for months after the 2010 launch.

As Whataday said; people love a good moan. Yes, people can switch over if they don't like a programme, but it's surprising how many people on that page actually don't think of doing this.

Instead, they keep watching - hoping that, out of some miracle, GMTV will pop back up on their screens tomorrow morning based on their repeated "feedback." Feedback which they post over and over hoping that it will enact some form of regression.

Well, I can't really argue with that, seeing as I never looked at the Daybreak page. Still, it seems natural to me that it would calm down whatever happens.

Just incase for those of you who do not yet know, Kate Garraway is sitting in for Charlotte on tomorrow's program.

It'll be interesting to see how this line-up work together. I know Ben and Kate worked together on GMTV, but I don't think Susanna and Sean have worked with her.

First rule of TV - in fact probably of life - "Just because you can doesn't mean you should"
Pete, Stuart and oflahertya gave kudos

I'm not keen on GMB and I really don't know why there have to be four presenters at the desk, two is more than enough.

Not sure it's going to last

Like on Tuesday... John hadn't worked with Ben (on-screen at the same time), Charlotte or Sean and they all seemed to get on alright.

Kate seems to be enjoying herself with a lot of off script banter & confusion over the cameras, she's making everyone have a giggle though.
