Good Morning Britain

He'll more than likely be doing both. He used to do both on occasion when he was at Sky. He just won't have as long a commute!

One example when the long commute got the better of him can be seen here:

Interesting idea, as someone else said does make it look like GMA or Today in the US, however I think that I'd still have a voiceover rather than none at all.

I wouldn't mind seeing it happen more frequently. However, I reckon it would be better if they still inserted the voiceover.

Nope. It'd be a mess with the voiceover unless it was an instrumental version of the track used.

If it was a live VO, with more energy, it could work.

That's always a risk, but in my opinion it works quite well on Sunrise in Australia for example:





It's a shame they don't do live voice overs on GMB, it would probably sound better if they did!

Would a live VO make a difference, though? Surely it's just a case of directing the voiceover have a more 'energetic' read. Does any brekkie programmes actually do live VOs, that's a new one on me.

Don't think they have live VO's, but AFAIK NBC have the VO read differently in a session so they can user any cut of music under it.

A live VO would allow the announcer to react to the music, sort of 'getting into the spirit of things', much like Kate & Charlotte were.

But realistically, getting up at 4am just to say 'Live from ITV Studios in London' is a bit farfetched. Just record an energetic read.

I'll do this job where do I apply

Where's C Williams when you need him ?
