The graphics are messy, the presentation and terminology is very American, everything seems rushed, and the pace is unrelenting. I hate it.

And hopefully enough people hate it with me so this style is killed off before it can spread. "Happening now"? No thank you.


Glad to see you're in the minority here. The old GMTV-style show was sluggish and dated. Even if ratings only slightly improve, they have a highly respectable broadcast on their hands here.

Me to. The one bad thing about GMB is having him involved.

Central managed to graphics crash the clock with its own ITV News Central website aston at the end of its bulletin.

The ITV News Weather slide in the regional news looks out of place.

Notice how the studio ticker matches exactly the one on screen?

Weather and website graphics are annoyingly distracting. You could put #GMB or @GMB or even itv.com/gmb within the teardrop.

Weather graphic locations seemingly in no particular order and include odd locations like East Midlands Airport.

Just sit down with a cuppa and mute that bit then.

ITV have finally got this right! In 40 minutes they have covered news, sport, weather, local news and some entertainment. They are heading in the right direction.

We also got "Now your local news with Rachel Sweeney, good morning Rachel" in Border, then Rachel was by the screen.

Strange that border worked but Tyne Tees didn't. Is one of border/Tyne tees pre recorded and one live or are both pre recorded? As if there's an issue playing the intro clip it'll mean that Rachel may already thank Ben despite viewers not seeing anything.

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

Cando won't be happy.

At least it's a mix of news for them.

I presume another clip should've played there rather than Ross grimacing on screen.

It's like TV-am now with Claire Rayner.

I would say Tyne Tees is live, might be wrong though
