If you were watching it at 7.32 am you would have seen Simon Parkin with his Alarm Alert spot for younger viewers now Alarm Alert was proud loud at impossible to ignore as well as waking the nation they would provide all the information you would need to survive until Saturday the weekday service was like this Mondays all the storylines from the popular soaps Tuesdays meant music find out who's up who's down who's in who's out in the top10 Wednesdays what's hot what's not slot was the ultimate guide for everything you should or shouldn't have get your computer fix every Thursday curtsey of Bad Influence's Violet Belin and to set you up for the weekend they previewed the hone video and cinema releases every Friday if you did get an Alarm Alert call(I know I did) you had to say these buzz off words I'm shaking up I'm waking up with Britain's breakfast bunch and they would send you an alarm clock that talks and you would get a double helping of cartoons(taken from Monday 4th January 1993)
I was gutted when GMTV finished. I was born in 1993, and so grew up watching it with my parents whilst getting ready for school - which I left in the same year it ended, 2010. I tried watching daybreak, but the presenters are what made the show great. I watch the BBC now.
Day break and good morning Britain was the name's used on TV_AM. GMTV won the franchise on breakfast television. Gmtv ratings started to decline so after hitting difficulties financially carlton tv bought into it. Carlton TV was again a franchise station for the itv network. Carlton TV and granada TV join and merger was completed making itv plc so all other franchises like Yorkshire television, lwt, Tyne tees all lost their on air identity to become itv. Itv would not support gmtv so new breakfast tv shows started and used names from the old defunct Tv-am programmes
GMTV was separately owned from the rest of the ITV network - ITV plc bought them out in 2009 and replaced their show(s) with Daybreak (then Good Morning Britain after Daybreak was very poorly received).
@@Rexowogamer I still don't know why Daybreak was poorly received, and Good Morning Britain wasn't. All 3 programs, GMTV and the other two, are the same exact program. Just with different names. But the structure of the show, the sets, the presenters, the fact Lorraine presents in the hours after everyone had gone to work, etc are all basically identical. Why was daybreak received badly when it was identical to GMTV? And then why was Good Morning Britain well received when it was also identical to GMTV and Daybreak!? It's absolutely nuts. People will complain about anything it seems. I'm even complaining about it now.
@@duffman18 You see, I only saw Daybreak once or twice but I think it was the presenting team. Nothing wrong with Adrian and Christine in principle but viewers missed the GMTV line up - if ITV had tried to hang onto more of them and had the likes of Ben Shepherd and Kate Garraway (why shove her into a supporting role?!) at the helm from the beginning, I think it could have survived.
the team that created this music deserve an award - the theme at 1.12 and at 5.00 are special. really good music. the one at 5.00 starts with a really low bass and works up - really really good music
1:30 - I remember that sting tune - as I was making my strong coffee in the kitchen, next to the TV. Bleary eyed and dreading the commute I would have to make.
Sadly, many things in the past would be good in the future. I remember Eamoon Holmes on the late 1990's GMTV before the taxi would arrive to take me to school 😍!
GMTV went away when I was 8! Then I was stuck with Daybreak, but I was happy when in 2012 they rebranded it, brought back the old faces, I watch Good Morning Britain now, which still have some of the old faces. :D
5:03 This opening animation was always my favourite and best designed in my opinion. Especially when the GMTV text fly's in and it makes the "swoosh" sound effect. It's the little things.
5:11 will always be my favorite. The words orbitting the Sun and the electric guitars just make it for me. Really enjoyed seeing that as a kid. They should bring it back.
I do think they would gain some of the viewers back if they bought GMTV back. They would need some of the presenters though to regain the warmth of the show.
if the ownership of GMTV didn't end up being solely ITV plc (Carlton Television and Granada Television) then I'm sure the two companies would of kept GMTV up and running to this day
I practically grew up with GMTV, I was upset when Daybreak came on, But now it's Good Morning Britain, I like them, but nothing will compare to GMTV :>
Gmtv the best show on tv I remember getting ready for school during this it was excellent really miss wish they would bring it back with all the gang great great show loved the tune very catchy
The junction music and intro at 8am - rushing for school memories :) This really did seem a happy programme but then it was also actually a totally separate channel technically
It would be nice of them to actually bring GMTV back and have another complete revamp. A refresh of the theme, the set, the opening titles, graphics and presenters. A lot more people would join back to watching ITV breakfast again and I think it would be a success. I think Daybreak is a little boring compared to what GMTV was like, but I suppose that's what people thought when it changed from TVAM to GMTV.
I agree, at least Eamonn Holmes wouldn't be shouting at guests, ranting about everything under the sun. Eamonn can be awful, but compared to Piers Moron on GMB in 2019, Eamonn is a saint.
I can remember GMTV - with its news programming at the weekdays and it’s children’s programming (which would be simulcast on both ITV 1 and the CITV Channel from 2006 to 2010) on weekends
Fml, i remember it being so modern and cutting edge back in the 1990s and even the 2000s, this theme song echoing in the living room before school! Now looks so dated 😂 hard to believe the original GMTV theme tune is over 30 years old 🥴 and its been 14 years since it stopped airing.
I was born in 2002 so I’m too young for all of this but I do vaguely remember the late 2000s titles. We watch Breakfast in my house but sometimes flick over to GMB. We might have done the same with GMTV
Why on earth did they cancel GMTV for Daybreak, which was an epic failure, and then to Good Morning Britain, which has also failed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think GMTV will eventually come back. Had enough of GMB already. Bad mistakes ITV.
Yes I completely agree. ITV only cancelled GMTV because it wasn't originally their show, so when they had 100% ownership of the station they decided to put their mark on it, which was a fail. I agree, I could see it coming back in another three or four years time. I think GMB is better than Daybreak in some ways but it is not meeting the needs of its target audience.
Strange that the short lived GMTV news presenter Jacqui Harper, recruited from BBC Newsroom South East, features twice in the original opening sequence, but barely lasted a couple of years actually reading the news on GMTV!
I have just noticed something with the second lot of titles featuring Anthea and Eamonn. He is portrayed as the serious journalist on the telephone while she is shown having her make up done. I think that was half the trouble between them. He had learnt his craft in dangerous conditions in Northern Ireland while she was from children's entertainment. It does not excuse his behaviour towards her at times, but they just came at things so differently it did not work.
im more or less the same, except not born in 1993 XD i stopped watching it as soon as daybreak started and gmtv finished. but for years, always watched it in the morning getting ready for school. bbc now.
An amazing nostalgia trip for... Well, it's going to be a big spread of ages whose parents watched GMTV, isn't it? Theme near enough unchanged for 15 years or so barring the memorable Christmas additions... If you're in your early thirties like me you had it for basically your entire childhood, but there'll be twentysomethings who had this in earlier childhood and people pushing 40 who heard it in secondary school... Less said about the 2009 rebrand the better. Whatever else Daybreak did wrong, it didn't look as bad as that.
I'm not completely sure, but as I understand from 2000 until 2009, GMTV decided to split it's 3.5 hours up even more, (GMTV Newshour, GMTV Today, LK Today and ET Today). And since it was aired that day I suppose that's where 'Today' came from. I hope that helps?
I never understand why they had to change the GMTV brand to Daybreak then later again to GMB when they are all essentially the same show with just different presenters (although some presenters are the same!) and different studio styles.
The sound of my mornings before school.... that epic tune....
😂😂😂😂😂
Same here
That sax solo...!!
I know , its a bit emotional 😥
Here here, god time goes too fast
You can tell the 1990s ones just by the use of the sax! No 90s theme tune was complete unless a saxaphone was used.
My god you just spoke my thoughts... It really wasnt was it? 😂
Lol - a good decade to be a saxophonist
A can remember watching this eating my toast and tea in the morning before getting ready for school.

I loved GMTV but blech, I’ve got “getting ready for school” flashbacks just watching this. Triggered haha
Wow I'm actually feeling nostalgic watching this.

Happy 30th anniversary GMTV. Would have been great to see the celebrations on air
I hated hearing the intro music in the mornings in the 2000s because I knew I had to get up for school. Sweet memories
This is the backing track to my mum screaming at me to get ready for school.
I miss GMTV, the children's programmes at the beginning and the tune were my favourite parts. It's beyond me why they got rid of it.
Bankruptcy

i think good morning britain and daybreak used to be 2 seperate programs of TV-AM. maybe i'm wrong

Still issing this programme! Reminds me of when i was little and used to turn this on every morning before going to school! So great!
the team that created this music deserve an award - the theme at 1.12 and at 5.00 are special. really good music. the one at 5.00 starts with a really low bass and works up - really really good music
Love this theme tune. Bring back the 90s!
1:30 - I remember that sting tune - as I was making my strong coffee in the kitchen, next to the TV. Bleary eyed and dreading the commute I would have to make.
Visited England many summers as a child. Always remember hearing these every morning. 2004-2005-2006 are the best!
For a second there I literally could see my old house in my head and felt like I was getting ready for school
Sadly, many things in the past would be good in the future. I remember Eamoon Holmes on the late 1990's GMTV before the taxi would arrive to take me to school 😍!

you were only 8 in 2010??? why are you on the internet
So excellent how I miss these tunes in the early mornings back in the good old days x
This is how I get to watch before I go to school to brighten up my day
Used to watch GM TV every morning as a little girl before going to school
The times where life was good no terror attacks no mass stabbings every single day no youths up to no good no coronavirus no nothing
"No terror attacks" other than all the big ones happened in this time period, but yeah.
@@brandonmartin-moore5302 Some people were either too young or just choose not to remember the IRA bombings.
@@brandonmartin-moore5302 what I was thinking they covered 9/11 and London bombings
@@alexmilton893 and possibly the Madrid train bombings, Beslan school siege and Mumbai attacks too
Ok boomer
Right in the Nostalgia.
How I long to be back in the 90s! More so the early 90s when this first started. Thank you for posting this.
The sound of dread before school
We used to love this when we were kids. Remember a legend together with Paradise Network UK. Bring back GMTV!
The Best Of GMTV RIP
I miss listening to this downstairs whiles having breakfast before school
Bring back GMTV please
Neil Robinson Don’t ask JTC, ask ITV omg
Blue The Budgie can I ask ITV to bring Daybreak back pls
Mimsie's days of alive I don’t know try it?
Ok
2:47 is my favorite
5:03
This opening animation was always my favourite and best designed in my opinion. Especially when the GMTV text fly's in and it makes the "swoosh" sound effect. It's the little things.
Logo in the emojis
🌕TV
5:11 will always be my favorite. The words orbitting the Sun and the electric guitars just make it for me. Really enjoyed seeing that as a kid. They should bring it back.
1:14 This is a rarity!
They should bring this back, even though Daybreak is now being cancelled.
I do think they would gain some of the viewers back if they bought GMTV back. They would need some of the presenters though to regain the warmth of the show.
if the ownership of GMTV didn't end up being solely ITV plc (Carlton Television and Granada Television) then I'm sure the two companies would of kept GMTV up and running to this day
4:24 onwards has their best opening and closing sequences
Listening to this makes me panic about getting to school on time...I am 34 lol
I practically grew up with GMTV, I was upset when Daybreak came on, But now it's Good Morning Britain, I like them, but nothing will compare to GMTV :>
I used to watch GMTV every day, I miss it.
Gmtv the best show on tv I remember getting ready for school during this it was excellent really miss wish they would bring it back with all the gang great great show loved the tune very catchy
i used to watch this before school every morning... and i never wondered why i was such an angry child haha
The junction music and intro at 8am - rushing for school memories :) This really did seem a happy programme but then it was also actually a totally separate channel technically
My childhood
This shouldn't even make me nostalgic, this wasn't that long ago right?
... Right?
No.
The end part of the 2000 gmtv today intro and the 3rd 2009 gmtv intro sounds similar
I miss GMTV bring it back
It would be nice of them to actually bring GMTV back and have another complete revamp. A refresh of the theme, the set, the opening titles, graphics and presenters.

Traumatised. If I heard the jingle at 7.59, I knew I wasn’t going to get to the bus stop in time.
So much nostalgia. I like the 1993 version best. Love the saxophone theme.
I was a kid when this was on but now feel soo old.
1:14 when I heard this I knew i was gonna be late for school 😂😂
The Big Breakfast on channel 4 was my go to before school in the 90s.
Great music
Ahhh nostalgia...
They did the rock version of the 1993 theme tune at the 2010 last series of gmtv before daybreak took over until 2014
I watched GMTV mostly weekdays not so much on weekends as I had a paper round at weekends until I started doing it 7 days a week
I remember watching this at my dad's mother's back in the 90s rip nan
I'm not going to lie, but my favourite GMTV logo must be the 2009-2010 logo, as I can remember seeing the logo on TV when I was 04!
getting up at 745 for school and my old mum having this blearing on the old box tv
Yay! My upload was used at the end (terratec365). Great compilation. I loved GMTV.
I miss GMTV, on itv, it was one of my favourite TV shows ever, come back GMTV,.
I agree, at least Eamonn Holmes wouldn't be shouting at guests, ranting about everything under the sun. Eamonn can be awful, but compared to Piers Moron on GMB in 2019, Eamonn is a saint.

The Christmas titles at 4:44 revert back to the mid/late 1990's theme.
Actually the Music is fit for Christmas

totally agree!
Was about to say that I totally agree but realised I already have 8 months ago lol but I do really agree :D
+Neil Robinson I'm sure GMTV will be back, Daybreak only lasted 4 years, so I don't think GMB will last long either
+JTC29 Erm, Excuse me! I thought that ITV licenced GMTV as their breakfast TV provider at the time!
Lovin' that 90s sax.
Miss gmtv :-(
Big Breakfast on channel 4 was my morning
GMTV was the best way to start your day with a headache and an ever-increasing sense of nihilism.
2:27 / 3:50 / 5:09 ... that 30-60 minutes before leaving for school!
When I was young my Dad wot always have this before I went to school XD
1:15 best logo and theme of gmtv
That Was 31 Years Ago.
I like the 2004ish ones
Strange that the short lived GMTV news presenter Jacqui Harper, recruited from BBC Newsroom South East, features twice in the original opening sequence, but barely lasted a couple of years actually reading the news on GMTV!
I remember the days with gmtv and hotmail
same age as you and remember too
miss this

3.55 the one I remember before school
All the happy wee faces in the sun icons. Bet the knives where out when the camera's went off.
Do GMTV closing titles 1993-2010 (you know the ones with the logo and text underneath it that reads “see you tomorrow 6-9.25am”)
nostalgic.......
GMTV was bae
And the cartoons in the morning when they introduced another part to GMTV
It felt so weird when he said 1993, I have no clue why
Let's hear it for "Britain Brightest Start on Television", Good Morning Television.
im more or less the same, except not born in 1993 XD i stopped watching it as soon as daybreak started and gmtv finished. but for years, always watched it in the morning getting ready for school. bbc now.
i like the christmas opening titles
Bring back GMTV all will be forgiven.
5:23 my favourite
2009 is my favorite
5:40 2009 my favourite theme
And 5:23
An amazing nostalgia trip for... Well, it's going to be a big spread of ages whose parents watched GMTV, isn't it?

Less said about the 2009 rebrand the better. Whatever else Daybreak did wrong, it didn't look as bad as that.
Gmtvs better than daybreak
Yeah, now it's good morning Britain. GMTV was my childhood! I used to watch it with my auntie.
The absolute dream team at 1:35
I just couldn't find any Britains who have GMTV recordings of a television series called The Wiggles.
I'm not completely sure, but as I understand from 2000 until 2009, GMTV decided to split it's 3.5 hours up even more, (GMTV Newshour, GMTV Today, LK Today and ET Today). And since it was aired that day I suppose that's where 'Today' came from. I hope that helps?

Anyone else frightened to death by the 2003 one as a kid??
Yup. I was 8 in 2003 and I heard this every morning lol.
25 years ago
I'm not sure what year it was but on a Saturdays I don't think GMTV used the sun logo for start up but they did for closedown
5:40, thats all i came for, and im happy
@deckers20 Thankgod it's Adrian and Christine last day tomorrow on Daybreak, even though I watch BBC Breakfast!! I totally agree with you!!
