With Sky going with the simple but effective 'Kay Burley', I might have expected GBN to swoop in and snap up the now-available 'Sunrise' title for their reworked programme.

The name is not available - Sky owns the Sunrise trademark.

Yep, it's why GMTV became GMTV as it was originally called Sunrise.

On The Great British Breakfast, I noticed they had two newspaper reviewers at the Breakfast Bar, a test for next week's Eamonn fest perhaps? Or simply social distancing measures? London reporter Alice Porter was reporting from home with I suspect was a broadcast quality camera instead of a low res webcam when she'd be in the studio.

I wonder if Farrage was live because they thought they would be new restrictions in England for him to talk about. No new restrictions means less people are interested in what people have to say.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but I randomly tuned in tonight to see how they were covering tonight’s breaking news and seen former GMTV weather presenter Clare Nasir doing the forecast.

I noticed 10-12 was called the Great British Debate presented by Nana Akua from the Breakfast Bar. Paula/Polly Middlehurst came on at 11.50ish to interview someone about the Maxwell verdict.

Yet when I flicked across last night, it was from the soft area called GB News Live with three guests on the sofas with Andrew Doyle.

Don't think 10-12 was actually called the Great British Debate, it was branded as GB News Live I believe. The Great British debate it just a segment on Nana’s normal show, and as she was presenting I’m assuming they just carried it over.

The laziness with the new Breakfast name is really disappointing. I do wonder whether the impending radio launch has anything to do with it, as 'XX Breakfast' is almost universal.

However, TV-wise, we now have three (including Sky's weekend shows) morning shows all called Breakfast. The lack of creativity is really underwhelming, and i'm looking at Sky at the same time.

It's not even like they have to be entirely revolutionary, but just look outside of the UK for some inspiration. I still think when Kay Burley launched it should have retained 'Sunrise', being called 'Kay Burley at Sunrise' rather than the very Y2K sounding 'Kay Burley@Breakfast'.
But GB News have an array of names they could have explored simply from looking abroad. I was never a fan of 'The Great British Breakfast' purely because it sounded amateur to me, almost like a GBBO fry-up spin-off.

I agree, but what could they change it to? The only feasible one I can think of is something like ‘AM’.

Even "GB Breakfast" would be better just to keep the channel branding prominent.


GB News - Jon - 30-12-2021

I think the point is ‘Breakfast’ isn’t really the brand, the brand is ‘Eamonn and Isabel’. ‘Breakfast’ is just the most direct of describing the time of day it’s on.

I'm not sensing instant chemistry from the trailer. Comes across a little awkward but that could easily be down to the set up/edit of the trailer.


GB News - London Lite - 31-12-2021

The 10-12 segment tonight was branded as Nana Akua despite the EPG saying GB News Live and was from the soft area.

They did work together for years on Sky and seemed to get on well there so there's no reason why it shouldn't be the case here. The problem was though that they didn't exactly set ratings alight on Sunrise so I can't see why it would be any different here.
Also the logo feels like you've stepped back in time 20 years. For all the talk from GB News about how different it is from anything that's ever come before, this very much has the feel of GMTV in the early Noughties.
