The new Daybreak starts on 3rd September with Aled Jones and Lorraine Kelly hosting 7am-8:30am. Lorraine will continue to host her usual show 8:30am-9:25am.
The show will start with Daybreak: News Hour from 6am-7am hosted by Matt Barbet and Ranvir Singh.
The show will have a new studio and new graphics/sound.
Any predictions on how the show will do in the ratings?

I'd never heard of either of them, but it's suprising what a quich image search on Google will bring up http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/Ranvir_Singh.jpg:D
Let's just hope Ranvir invests in a new wardrobe before her big debut:p
You can hardly call it a knee jerk reaction. Axing GMTV and replacing it with Daybreak you could definitely describe as knee jerk, they got carried away with the whole Adrian & Christine thing. But they got it terribly wrong and they've been slowly undoing it since because Daybreak has been one big mess from start to finish and has terrible viewing figures. The impending revamp even sees the return of the GMTV sun logo. This time around it feels much more carefully planned out, and Lorraine is a safe pair of hands to put the show in. Its not as though the figures have been down for a couple of weeks so they've gone for a full scale relaunch. This has been inevitable for the past 2 years.
The same goes for the format of the show. The new "News Hour" still only makes up less than half of the entire show (not including Lorraine which follows directly afterwards). A real change would be putting Matt Barbet and Ranvir Singh on for the whole 2 and half hours and discussing House of Lords reform and other such items all the way until 8:30.
It just seems like a fresh lick of paint, rather than any real change. Speaking of decoration, I like the current studio. It looks modern enough and they shouldn't change it.

Very Nice and a huge nod to the GMTV era.
I hope the music stays - even if its revamped.
If I am right, ratings started to pick up around late October/ November 2010. Then the format changed, and they went down. I reckon, if they left the programme at this stage, it may have been a lot different now. it was fresh and modern then, then it turned into a stuffy same oldy GMTV show.
I have a feeling though that it will do better this time round though, but everything is not my style this time! It's for hassled mums only!
:DEr no they didn't they actually hit new lows in OCT/NOV 2010 The whole period was down over 20% from GMTV
Well there was a period after launch, where they did rise. I'm not speaking about GMTV's ratings, I'm talking about Daybreaks.:cool:
Yes,it was in December when the uk had all the snow and it averaging 0.9/1 million. When the show returned in Jan 2011 the ratings settled at about 0.8 million.
I agree that they should have left the show to settle in and left it alone. Who knows, if they had Adrian and Christine may have still been presenting it now. I personally think the shows problems were all down to the messing with the format and not to do with the presenters. Of course, the newspapers didnt help.
I think the main problem was that everything was wrong! Adrian just isn't right on an early morning show on ITV. Channel 4 - possibly, but still doubtful and by the time they went on air Christine had so much negativity surrounding her that it was never going to work. One of those situations that just escalates and which, once again, the infamous Jay Hunt was responsible for. She decides that Chris Evans has to do Friday nights, predictably Adrian goes into a strop. She won't back down, he flexes his muscles and moves and then in a demonstration of power persuades Christine to jump ship with him. She then becomes a WAG earning an obscene amount of money for not very much and the whole thing is riding for a fall. Sort of Arlene Phillips/Alesha Dixon all over again, meets Miriam O'Reilly. Beats me why Jay Hunt still gets top jobs.
Kate Garraway is the Friday presenter of both shows, in place of Lorraine Kelly.
Ranvir Singh is the newsreader from 7-925am.
Laura Tobin is the weather presenter.
There must be a limite to the amount of times they can recycle Kate Garraway. Do you think that every night before she goes to bed she looks at a dart board picture of Lorraine and asks 'Mirror, mirror, one the wall, Why does the Scottish one always get it all?'
I have not seen anything to say Helen will be in the programme. We will have to wait and see.
