Nobody cares whether Jeremy Kyle begins at 9.25am or 9.30am. Not everything has to begin on the hour or half hour exactly and actually it suited commercial channels to have the occassional 65 minute slot in the schedule due to various quirks of advertising.
If ITV were to decide to move the start time of Jeremy Kyle (and OFCOM were to let them) it would almost certainly be forward to 9.20 or 9.15 as they'd then hit the threshold to include an extra break. Actually 9.24 would do it as I think it's 66 minutes.

The Jeremy Kyle start time is not an Ofcom issue. There is probably nothing to stop ITV airing it as part of the breakfast service if they really wanted to, and programmes have straddled the 9:25 junction before and no doubt will do so again.
A promo for the new series of 'You're back in the Room' aired tonight on ITV promoting a start time of 8pm next Saturday however EPG's show 8:30 after Saturday Night Takeaway.
What is there to stop ITV Breakfast from finishing at 9am on either Saturday or Sunday and make up that 25 minutes by ending at 930 on Monday to Friday? That way ITV could show Robert Peston's new political programme in the 9am slot on a Sunday (although I will never watch it as I really cannot stand the guy)!!!
If STV were agree to such an arrangement, absolutely nothing, other than balancing the ad breaks.
There used to be a Sunday morning kids' show that started in GMTV time and continued until mid-morning, possibly Disney Club or similar.
This is true: Disney Club (produced by Scottish) overlapped between GMTV and the ITV network times at certain points from 1993 However it had been part of the schedule since 1989, and presumably Scottish & Disney (and to a point LWT) being shareholders in GMTV helped make this possible.

Just to make it clear during its 5 year run until 98, the programmes was split, ie name change, yet some of the time it was the same people. Same also happened with Diggin it.
STV doesnt care what is slotted in, as long as the advert slots were kept the same. STV get one at 09.40 and 09.55? while ITV get 09.05 and 09.20.
I suspect the 06:00-09:25 slot is far more flexible now than it would have been many years ago due to the consolidation of ITV, there's a video on YouTube that shows GMTV starting and the clock clearly shows 5:59.
Of course it wasn't a problem during ITV's Formula 1 coverage and the races that aired during what would have been GMTV time on a Sunday morning.

Even back in the day Home and away was broadcast across LWT and Thames switchover aswell, Its can be done, Once it stopped Thames had to slot in a cartoon to pad out the slot.
