Local news has moved to 6:10 / 7:10 and 8:10 following the national news. We could also see some new presenters. IE, Sport and Showbiz. Format could also have changed.
I think moving the Regional News to after the National News is a good decision. After all the National and Regional News programmes are always together throughout the rest of the day...
If all the channels dropped their whiter and more right wing than Blyton approach we'd all be better off - BBC Breakfast are a raised eyebrow away from asking "just what is the internet?" every morning. Channel 4 Daily failed but had the right, minimalist, idea; informed, normal looking presenters delivering comment and reportage succinctly. As we force our bloated, blinking forms out the door to work we don't want svelte minxes or strapping, pastel-clad Adonii (or grumpy foetuses) waxing imbecilically about trivial nonsense 'That's Life' would have rejected - or social comment Enoch Powell would have stopped short at.
Might be a good idea. Remember when they showed Batman and Happy Days when TV-am was on strike- the ratings increased.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrLJEN0jAQ so much nicer than being force fed depressing news or listening to people who really don't want to be interviewed at that time of the day.
Out of interest is STV HD now showing Daybreak or are they still unable to show it and instead show a back at 9.25am caption, also is it the same for UTV HD?
If can't show it in HD for what ever reason (legacy of franchise issues or something else) can't they just upscale it as it's on STV/UTV in SD anyway ?
Thanks for the upload. On the basis of the new look, there's little else that's changed to it. Still, getting rid of A&C is a plus and even though I'm not a big fan of Kate Garraway's, the bits of Daybreak I've seen before show that her and Dan Lobb get on well together so they're the best choice to host it (I voted as such on the other Daybreak link)
I wouldn't call this a revamp of the show. It was basically the same with just changing the logo background to yellow. Most of the programme was the same with the usual news, weather, sport and entertianment news. Though I think they have got rid of the "Great, it's 5 to 8" feature and changed it to the latest entertainment news which is better.
I didn't think Kate and Dan would get the top job ... I thought they were going to bring in new people.
They will probably make small changes and examine ratings for the next few months. If ratings go up, they may keep Dan and Kate as main presenters, if they continue to go down, they will be looking elsewhere. It all remains to be seen

And if ratings remain pretty constant, but still low .......
I saw a bit of it this morning having got in from work Dan was getting stuck with his words a bit and even confessed to saying he isnt a good presenter, they seemed to do ok apart from that a lot better than watching Giles.
GMTV was great for ITV unfortunately they don't understand the 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it" motto. Infact they probably have their own version "if it ain't broke, fix is it until it is"

It was because Adrian was getting stuck with his words that the viewers didn't like him. Just because Dan is easier on the eye, he is forgiven by the shallow viewers ( I don't mean you but viewers in general). I think he is a weak presenter but that doesn't seem to matter because alot of women watching seem to think he is good looking.

I was one of those women, until i realised that HE knew he was good looking. All the flirting to the camera and cheesy grins became a complete turn off.
I think he is an OK presenter, and i find him better than John Stapleton who says 'urm' 'arh' every two seconds. But i wish they would have a complete revamp. Get rid of the lot of them and try out other people. Make the show a little more serious.
The BBC is about to award Daybreak a welcome advantage by relocating Breakfast to Manchester.
I cannot imagine many American celebs visiting London for a film premiere will want to journey up north the previous day to be interviewed on the sofa, then have to go back to London. This is why ITV relocated This Morning to London from Liverpool.
This is not an anti-north post - it is right that some BBC TV progs are made there. Only that BBC Breakfast deals with news and current affairs, plus showbiz, and there is far more happening in all of these fields in London than Manchester.

I think that people in general like the news focus of Breakfast and that won't change. The celeb interviews can be done beforehand and shown.
The thing is TV has to be watched and people don't have time before work to do that, they are busy getting ready for work/school/college, the only people who can sit and watch breakfast TV are those coming home from the night shift.
Radio is different and that's what people turn to, where you can listen while you get ready to go out for work/school/college
I think ITV should look at bitesize segment programming that can be watched quickly without it being drawn out in a magazine format, music videos are one idea that can be made into a show, how about classic music videos rather than current music videos that you would get on VIVA and 4Music.
ITV really do need to move away from this 'celeb' fixation, the amount of times i can watch a classic drama on ITV3 and in the ad break up pops a 'celeb' news update, i fail to see why that is included on a channel targeted at mature viewers.
I think Kate should stay as a lead role but Dan is better suited to Sport, maybe the Thursday/Friday shows. Who could replace Dan? Nick Dixon, Andrew Castle, Stephan Dixon, Colin Brazier, Matt Barbet, John Stapleton. I would pick one of those!

Personally I hate it, but it may grow on me. Wonder is there will be any graphic changes!
Live blog on the new look and new format,

Saw this by chance this morning - I thought it was GMTV!

However, it's hardly a major overhaul is it?!
