List Of GMTV Programmes

The following details are for the programmes that GMTV (Good Morning Television) broadcast on ITV.

GMTV is the former breakfast television franchise for the UK's ITV network. It began broadcasting on Friday 1 January 1993 and finished on Friday 3 September 2010, being replaced by ITV Breakfast.

''GMTV''

1993–2000

''GMTV'' is the original brand for GMTV's weekday breakfast magazine programme from 6:00 am. It included national and international news stories, regional news, weather, interviews, cookery and health features, human-interest and showbiz stories, and competitions.

In spring 1993, shortly after the channel's launch, a separate news-focused programme was introduced between 6:00am and 7:00 am, which in early 1994 became ''The Reuters News Hour''. The main 6:00–9:00 am programme remained named ''GMTV'' but, as part of the show's new look for the millennium, this main programme later became ''GMTV Today''.

On 3 January 2000, ''GMTV'' relaunched and changed the names of each of their programmes. This now meant the programme ''GMTV'' did not exist. This was then split up into ''The Newshour'' and ''GMTV Today''. This titling for the programmes remained until January 2009, when ''GMTV'' relaunched.

Despite the changes, the same theme music and headline beds were still used throughout the programme and nothing altered with the weather until 18 January 2010. However, on 9 March 2009, ''GMTV'' introduced new theme music and headline beds to its main programmes, replacing the previous music that had been in use since 2000. On 31 August 2009, ''GMTV'' saw the introduction of 3D graphics, graphic animations, through the use of a new system called VizRT, and a voice-over announcer to introduce presenters at the top of the hour. These were later slightly revised in October of that year.

The show had previously been criticised for its poor journalistic approach although from 2009 it took on a more confident approach, with 7-minute bulletins at the top of the hour, a detailed bulletin at half-past the hour, and the ''Top Stories'' at 15 and 45 minutes past each hour. These replaced the hour and half-hour bulletins which featured previously.

Fiona Phillips and Andrea McLean left the show in late 2008. In November 2008 it was announced that '' Sky News'' business presenter Emma Crosby would replace Phillips, and the BBC
