`Cos they reckon that all the dads want to **** her and all the mums want to be her. The thinking goes no further than that.
Strangely though, the ratings for BBC Breakfast remain around the same level regardless as to who is presenting, they did not peak on the days that she presented, and dive on the days that she was off. So that would indicate that she is not much of a "must see" attraction.
People seem to watch BBC Breakfast (and shows of that ilk) primarily for the content

I`m not sure ITV let facts get in the way of their instincts. Perhaps if they did they`d have a better channel than they do.
The new weekend show will be 8.30 - 9.25 according to the ITV website, I guess Scrambled will remain but go out before it.
I wonder if ITV will revamp the old iconic Good Morning Britain title sequence and theme tune? Would be sort of good to see a modern take on them. As for the show itself I just think ITV have lost the battle for the morning and may as well give in and show repeats, but we will see.
if it turns out to simply be a case of SSDD it will go the same way. ITV need to take a long hard look at what isnt working and try something that does work. First thing I'd do is drop Richard Arnold
Er, 'the show is a dud' ...it hasn't even started yet. Where's your evidence that Good Morning Britain is going to feature showbiz 'tat' and 'stupid competitions'. When Daybreak started, the competitions weren't in packages by celebrities, it was just a simple phone number which was shown on screen if you wanted to enter.
Of course there are advert breaks, but its ITV. We know this.
I'm kind of hopeful for this. Susanna has a following, but the question is whether they'll follow her to ITV. It sounds awful, but all this business in her personal life might make more people want to watch her when she moves to ITV.
One of the big surprises for me is Charlotte Hawkins. I take it she'll be the newsreader, but its obviously been a well thought out choice. Tasmin Lucia Khan was the first Daybreak newsreader, a basic newsreader from BBC Three. With Charlotte, you've got a young journalist who has a very authoritative side. Personally for her it'll be a good move. She's popular on Sunrise but it only gets around 300-400,000 viewers, Good Morning Britain will have more than that - so shes going to get more exposure.
If I'm honest, I'm not really bothered by the showbiz/celebrity stuff. People know what they are getting. If I want to watch news, I watch BBC Breakfast and if I don't, I watch Daybreak.
They need to get rid of the GMTV-lite look and studio. The original Daybreak studio was great IMO and the current one is horrible. Obviously we've got Ben but get rid of all the ex GMTV people. Yes the content needs changing, but why create BBC Breakfast II. 500/600k obviously don't want hard news in the morning which compared to Breakfast is small, but the people that complain that Daybreak is celebrity focused obviously aren't the target demo for the show and have BBC to turn to.
If I was scheduling it, I would split the programme into two, like they do now, but with two separate identities completely.

Why all the fuss ? Vain girly and camp bloke get job reading pap from autocue.
So depressing that this is seen by some as being in some way newsworthy.

Does their broadcast licence not say they have to provide news in that slot? I'm sure I read somewhere

Stupid competitions, showbiz tat, endless breaks.
The show is a dud.
It ain't gonna work.
Another set of careers messed up by ITV...
Are they stupid or what?
Sadly no, you will still see her daily on her very own show.
Wonfer if we will see a Easter relaunch or a September one.
No like a cockroach after a nuclear war lorraine services yet again.
Beg to differ:
One well known.
One quite well known.
Two unheard of to lots of us.
"Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic" springs to mind.
Surely September. I doubt they can get everything in place for an Easter launch.

The box ticker !
April 28th, It's just a rebrand. It's being made by the same production team as Daybreak and GMTV before it.
I really hope ITV change the format as if they don't i can see it being a flop again.
And they, whoever "they" are - are probably not far wrong.
A valid assessment of her "charms", one could certainly argue.
Shame Susanna isn't staying with the BBC.
As its a shame that Charlotte Hawkins is leaving Sky (remembered who she was then - she follows Eamonn Holmes and co-presents along side him).
Realised who Charlotte Hawkins was then LOL.
So depressing that this is seen by some as being in some way newsworthy.
I was certain that someone would post that tiresome remark at some point. Well done, you.
Rude.
