Ratings of 600,000 a day? Where did they get those figures from?
From about 12 months ago. According to the Ratings Thread it was 420,000 yesterday, BBC 1.44 million .Unreported by the Mirror was that Fincham said he did not expect ratings to improve in the near future. He can hardly say he's going to ditch it as he claimed the credit for bringing Chiles and Bleakley from the BBC although he's kept quiet about Susannah Reid.
Recent BARB figures have been around the 400,000 mark since the school holidays, yesterday the BARB figures were apparently 420,000 (as stated above by ftv).

It really is looking dire for GMB & ITV.
But hey Peter Fincham believes it will improve :rolleyes: so nothing to worry about...
Viewing figures have dwindled dramatically since the April launch and I cannot see them improving anytime soon, even though it is the summer holidays I cannot see GMB shooting up to 600,000 come September.

I bet GMB is jarring for London viewers as when they go to local news, it goes from a GMB view of St. Paul's in bright blue sky bathed in sunshine to a live dull overcast view of St. Paul's.
As I am off for two weeks I was able to watch some extended coverage of GMB today, I did notice the exclusion of Miss Reid (who only had a week off 11-16 August) and is off again today, this does not bode well for her, especially if ITV had a slight increase in viewing figures during her holiday.
The content is as bland and irrelevant as ever though, Ben is still doing those pointless and stupid pre-recorded VT's to each region, Dickie Arnold is still there polluting GMB like a 'bad smell' and of course the competitions are still as excruciating to watch as ever.
Since the April relaunch (banded as more News based) I have yet to see any evidence of this, it is the same monotonous drivel aimed at hosuewives, the bigoted and people with an IQ in double digits.
I would happily bet Susanna Reid will be gone by Christmas, Ranvir or Kate will replace her and the ITV bosses will have what they want: A re branded GMTV covering the same drivel under the guise of GMB.

I've never noticed that. Now I'm going to see it all the time aren't I?!
Well I will on the odd occasion I actually watch GMB..
Stapleton was presenting a phone-in on LBC in London yesterday, obviously looking ahead to a future without GMB. That's him and Charlotte taken care of then.
Can't see susanna being replaced at christmas just because charlotte will more than likely start her maternity leave at that time and probably won't return until at least august.
Think it would be disastrous that a show that will be nine months old at that time would want to start the new year two presenters down,don't think that the line-up which would include ben,kate,ranvir and sean would be a ratings booster.
You have to feel sorry for charlotte,gone from sunrise where she was an intelligent,articulate warm friendly presenter,now she has announced she's pregnant she's just a pair of legs.
Can't see sally nugent,louise minchen and isabel webster being described this way,just shows the audience good morning britain are aiming at.

I think the truth is they don't know what audience they're aiming at. One minute there's talk of a harder news edge, the next Andi Peters making a fool of himself.Then there's Ross King with his friends the Hollywood stars giving sycophancy a bad name(did he even meet Robin Williams let alone know him personally ?)Viewers just aren't that stupid.

He was never likely to say 'I have my doubts' or 'It's not going very well'.
