I remember setting the alarm clock for this and couldn't believe the car crash I'd was watching. And then 4 January when you thought wtf is this. No wonder people switched over to The Big Breakfast.

Carol really getting into the detail of her brief there…. “How does the potato produce electricity, Carol?” “Oh, it’s all to do with chemistry and so on”.

Isn't it strange though that GMTV's (a franchise partly owned by Disney) first ad featured WB's Looney Tunes?

@97channel 2 жыл бұрын

I guess that both the fee and reward for first advert on a new breakfast broadcaster were far too high for any party involved to object. For Weetabix, an extremely lucrative spot. Interesting that the third advert is for Disney. Even with their heavy associations to the new station, the could only afford bronze position.

9:55 Eamonn talks to Martin Frizell now head of This Morning and whom Eamonn had a dig at in his recent interviews (without naming names). Frizell is married to Fiona Phillips. Do you Like aubergines?

I hated GMTV when it first aired, from that cliché saxophone in the title music to the relatively boring presenters. TV-am had a sense of fun that went along with its output, and that just seemed to vanish.

The 1992 election defeat for Labour was a tragedy for the UK. One of the most consequential elections of the last fifty years. Kinnock's concession speech on the steps of Walworth Road at party HQ was heart breaking and prescient- everything he warned about has come true and worse under 'new' Labour and the Tories since. RIP his wife Glenys who was by his side as he gave the concession speech. A formidable and decent figure in her own right.

3:32 this kind of "journalism" is one of the reasons why William and Harry lost their mother. 7:21 Thanks a bunch, Brexiters. We could have had it all. Now we have a far right government in Westminster and our rivers are teaming with human excrement.

TV-am always felt entirely detached from the regional output surrounding it. It felt almost like it was hijacking the ITV airwaves. Whereas GMTV tried to blend into its surroundings, as though it were a merely a programme on your local ITV, rather than a wholly independent TV station in its own right.

I would say that was a pretty good summary of the Broadcasting Act of 1990 and what it tried to do to ITV in a sense. The whole act was to slowly deregulate the various regions of ITV into the free market that way they (they being the government) could gain more pay from ITV without having to worry about regional pay. It was Thatcherism to the T

Yeah, I mean I primarily grew up with GMTV as my main form breakfast tv (at least on weekdays before school and college) and until I started looking into the corporate makeup of ITV, I would've never have guessed that GMTV was itself it's own franchise! Looking at footage of TVAM you certainly do get the feeling they were their own franchise though, so much as the handovers uploaded on youtube almost always looking really disjointed and glitchy!

@@whatamalike TV-am's switchovers were always very rough. Whilst it's true that they can look worse on videotape, they weren't generally a whole lot better when you saw them live. With GMTV, even in 1993, their switchovers were seamless in some regions. Not sure how they achieved that. Other regions, like Central here, they were still as glitchy as TV-am. But by the later part of the 90's, they got increasingly smoother until they became entirely invisible.

@SFS NASA You make me feel so old. I was born nearly 13 years before GMTV started, almost 3 years before even TV-am. In fact, there was no TV in the early morning when I was born.
