I've heard this before now. The programme's viewing figures have increased very well since Piers Morgan has joined. I think it's also because Susanna and him have great chemistry.


If you look at the figures, they haven't. I don't know where you've got that from. In the third week of March, the show averaged around 618,500 viewers, compared to Breakfast's 1.5 million.

An article from 'Broadcast Magazine' published at the end of January:

Quote:


The claim
“I’ve come to put some order into this place,” were Piers Morgan’s first words when he took up a permanent three-day-a-week hosting slot on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

Reports have since suggested that the former Mirror editor has put wind in the show’s sails, with the Huffington Post claiming this week that “Piers’ arrival has boosted viewing figures to “over the 700,000 mark”.

The reality
Not much has changed. Since Morgan’s debut on 23 November, Good Morning Britain has averaged 600,000 (16.5%), which was almost identical to the show’s figures over the same period in 2014/15.

BBC Breakfast, meanwhile, has continued to plough along with a steady 1.5m (38.5%) since Morgan’s arrival

When Good Morning Britain is beginning to average 1m, as opposed to having a fleeting peak of 1m, then I think the press will have something to write about and BBC Breakfast can be worried.

The whole mail interview is totally inacurate.

We know GMB goes on air at 6am so where this information/article source has come from, nobody knows.

Probably a typo from the journalist, which wasn't proof read properly.

Youtuber HTV ONE is claiming that Ben is leaving which is why Jeremy & Mark were trialled. He is also claiming that there are rumours of Eamonn Holmes being trialled. I not sure on how reliable this is so I'm just putting it out there, however, I hope is isn't true but you never know. They say they have a contract with ITV to produce videos for GMB to put on THEIR channel which is also makes me suspicious for obvious reasons. They claims ITV gets 70% of the advertising money. However, he does say he will find evidence of Ben Shepherd leaving but we'll have to wait and see. If he does give any evidence then I will upload it asap.

I smell utter BS. Have you seen some of the videos on that channel?

I thought it was very strange but I'm wanting other people's opinions to see what they think because I wasn't that convinced.

Not wanting to assume, but I'm sure they will think this is utter crap in all honesty as well...

I think he must have thought that I had figured out he was lying because he was responding to all messages then I asked for evidence at which point he fell silent. I think I can safely say, upon reflection, he probably was talking out of his backside.

The fact the comment in question included the word " trial'd " makes me yet more dubious.

If something doesn't make sense then it's usually not true I've found. Also there's an email address on the page which isn't very 'Official' if he is claiming to be something. It certainly wouldn't be a Gmail email address...

Having looked at the amateurish twitter and Facebook accounts that are linked to this "company", I'm pretty sure this is complete rubbish from a fantasist. I'd be surprised if ITV gave permission to anyone for any of their content to be uploaded to YouTube.
