Itv's 'Good Morning Britain' - do you watch it?

I'm another who never watches day time TV. Radio 4 on most of the time, even overnight. I think though John Humphries has mellowed, there was a time when he was switched off regularly!

I'm not good with inane chat. I've occasionally caught the One Show and that's bad enough. I'm assuming breakfast programmes are the same.

And why is it that they are all called 'shows' now, not programmes? We surely can cope with the difference with program (computer) and programmes. Dumbing down, methinks

I've never watched Good Morning Britain only occasionally Sky News if anything interesting is developing in the World,I'm a fan of Smooth Radio just softly in the background all day if I am at home,TV comes on about 7/8ish unless we have small people in attendance.

Ariadne........'while we surface' resonates with me.....the older I get the longer I seem to take to properly 'come to' in the mornings its like a slow awakening......as if from a chrysalis......!

BBC breakfast here, just while we surface. And no daytime TV either, unless, surprise surprise, it is a Test Match, or a big rugby match! Or a small person staying who is awake at 6.00 a.m. (Oh, what I would have given for early morning TV when my lot were little!)

It's the Radio 4 Today programme for me, never seen Good Morning Britain, or the BBC version and, to be honest, they don't sound tempting! I've never heard of most of the 'slebs' talked about, so don't have any interest.

My darling grandson has introduced me to CBeebies bedtime, a new TV experience for me. I had to work hard to learn all about In The Night Garden, only to find he's moved on to Fireman Sam and Postman Pat.

ITV breakfast programmes have never worked for me....the adverts are enough to drive me mad - but also ITV is always so much more shallow and celebrity based....though BBC is heading that way.....I had a good rant about how much time they gave to Gwyneth Paltrow's marriage break-up.

I am happy to have the BBC breakfast on in the background whilst I have my coffee as I am hardly functioning on any great intellectual level until I've had it!

I'm another who doesn't watch daytime TV, the box only gets switched on at 6.00 pm for news - if I remember!

Working on my own most of the day, apart from the occasional visitor, I have Radio 4 on all the time, very informative, often funny. BBC Breakfast on Tv before I leave the house, never ITV irrespective of the presenter as I think it is a bit tabloid ish, all celebrities and such other nonsense. If my phone rings when there is something interesting on Radio 4, or an important part of The Archers, I can get quite cross

I agree Phoenix, radio 4 for me. I often hear interesting things on topics that I would never have investigated. Also, the books that are serialised are often ones that I would not have read, but have found entertaining. X

Another who is daytime TV averse here! If I didn't have to go to work, I'm quite happy with Radio 4 all day, the TV doesn't get switched on until at least 7.30pm

I tried it and quickly went back to BBC Breakfast. I do like Bill Turnbull...

I think there may come a time in my life when all I can do is sit in my chair all day dozing in front of the TV,until that day arrives I have a life to lead. Mornings would be wasted watching TV. I get up have breakfast, have a quick browse on here to see what is going on ,get the news on the radio and then get on with my day.

No, I'm another who never watches day time TV.

Never watch TV in the morning. It's the Today programme for us, then it's switched off till You and Yours.
Unless John Humphries is on, in which case MrA leaps up and switches him off when he can't stand him any longer.

Oh and sorry re OP no we don't watch it too many ads and repeated on a 15 minute loop, but then that's the same for BBC in the morning.

merlot can I come and live in your house, please?

My husband is sports mad and I call the TV in the livingroom "the Sports Channel" TV. He knows when I settle down with a cuppa to find something I we both like, though! I seem to remember there was a time when sports only happened on weekends, now the sports channel is a fulltime occupation.

We have it on occasionally. I don't like it at all, actually, but DH puts it on. If I have to watch anything in the morning it would be BBC Breakfast; however, given the choice I wouldn't put the TV on at all until the evening. Before DH retired last November I never had the TV on during the day, apart, maybe, from Wimbledon fortnight.

We have a quick look at the BBC News channel and that's it. The telly doesn't go on again until the 6pm News unless it's pouring with rain and then I have a cuppa watching Escape To The Country.

I've only seen a couple of minutes of it, as I'm scared that Lorraine will suddenly appear with her stupid simpering giggle.
I watch Sky news, but just lately that's been getting a bit juvenile!

[grumpy]

I want good quality news in the morning, not inane chat with pop stars, fashion advice or simpering, sycophantic presenters. That's why I don't watch Good Morning Britain. If I see Louise Minchin giggling on the sofa, I switch off BBC Breakfast. I could watch Steph McGovern all the time - she pitches it just right with news and intelligent discussions.

There are too many presenters, too many adverts and when I first watched it I thought that the four presenters looked as though they were about to start a formal job interview with somebody, all four sitting behind a desk.

Never watch daytime tv, never mind morning!

If I put TV on in the morning it's usually because of some important news I've heard on the radio, and I watch channel 80, BBC news. Can't do with chat in the morning.

Never seen it. Occasionally watch Breakfast for the news but get fed up with it after about 10 minutes. TV in the morning makes me dopey (more dopey than normal)

No, never put TV on unless I want to watch a recording.
