This Morning Summer

This Morning Summer launched today. And as usual they have changed a few parts of the studio.

The sofas have new cushions, there's new wallpaper in the sofa area, also the hub has a new(ish) desk with a new colour clock. Also the word 'hub' is stuck all over the wall.

It looks nice & summery.
I imagine that this means no HD upgrade to the studio any time soon.

It seems that they change the studio 3 times a year (this morning summer starts, this morning new series starts and again in the new year) so really, is HD Upgrade could happen any time...

The pre-titles sequence today featured Eamon and Ruth pulling up with a van and removal men taking the new set and props out of the van which gave you the impression they were going to be in a different location from normal.

That same set has been in for quite some time now , and they keep it looking fresh by adding new walpapers and such.
Also a little like the regional itv news studios. They are kept after rebrands but 'freshened up'

It must be cost effective?

Presumably they will need a few weeks to do any changes. The only time when the programme seems to be off for a couple of weeks Is at Christmas.

Of course it's more cost effective to make slight alterations than building a new set from scratch.

Holly and Phil breaking up early then.

Isnt the English School holidays now? Saying that ITV have been know to start School holidays around this time.

Next week. Most schools in London break up on Wednesday 24th, some may break up this Friday by using the three days for In service days for teachers.

Another slight change to the TM format was the news review guests doing an additional segment in the Hub answering viewer comments about the stories featured.

So the London schools don't go back until 9th September

It depends on the local authority or Academy.

In my London borough, schools operated by the council re-open on Tuesday 3rd September, although this date may be used for in service days for teachers.

The hub also has a new presenter. Didn't catch her name, but I suspect one of the production team has been given the post.
