Thye must have pre-recorded all the handovers then.
Half hour in then and here's my thoughts
1. Not a bad start. Much better than Good Morning Britain
2. Like that they've scrapped ads for the first half hour
3. They are clashing with BBC times. Local news at 6.25 and I see sports news now 6.35
4. Music is sky news rip off
5. One Direction is a decent decision to use on Day One but sure its a cynical attempt to grab the school audience and hence parents.
6. Charlotte is star so far.
7. Behind that desk and a few men will miss Miss Reid's legs.

If so..that's really lame.
Susannah and Ben look awful in those close-ups

Percentage chance of rain

Credit where its due, its a lot more interesting than bbc breakfast but it needs to chill a bit like Sunrise.

They'd also rebranded the local programme as "Good Morning Meridian".
Thankfully they seem to have done away with the cheesey one liner which they had with Daybreak where the local presenter would say "Welcome to your Daybreak headlines from the Meridian region."

Switch over to ITV
Can we assume the 7am bit is less styled like news hour or is it the theme throughout? Can't see Lorraine sitting behind a desk...!
Thank God they got rid of Lorraine. I really couldn't stand the women, especially first thing in the morning.

Yeh, the umbrella appears to be in varying stages of being open or closed depending on the percentage.
Oh dear, here comes a competition.

I think it may turn to mush after 7am.
The advert breaks will kick in, the competitions will start and heaven forbid Lorraine will appear.

No, the lovely Louise Minchin is one. Hubba Hubba, I tried it for 30 minutes, I liked it, but I'm a Beeb man.

Good man
Oh dear and then they go and spoil it with a phone competition. The sports news was very lame too. BBC do it so so much better. Sally is far better than Sean.
Competition time ..... I'm back over to BBC.
I shall be back, this is too critical not to see how GMB copes with adverts.
