Really?! Those points I never knew! So, TV-am goes off air on New Year's Eve '92... and then GMTV sweeps in, as if to kill what was left of the TV-am legacy. I take it then STV aren't shareholders in GMTV anymore? As you might know, the STV news service during GMTV was replaced some time ago by a 'GMTV Scotland' news service. Thanks for that info! You really DO learn things everyday!!!
Yeah, I've seen reports from the 1991 auction and I remember seeing Bruce Gyngell being slightly bitter to say the least about the loss - but, as you say, by Dec 1992, the bitterness was weakened. As for the Thames point, I can see their point. Did LWT show Carlton promos? I'm not sure if they ever did.
Breakfast TV has never been the same since the travest of TV-am losing the airing franchise. I stopped watching breakfast TV very fast after TV-AM GMB ended. Everything about TV-AM was cool. The sofa, screen clock studio backdrop, egg cups at the end and the presenters and staff.
The set went to hell when they took away the bricks design. It look liked it had just been plastered over and the windows looking they were presenting from a forest
The big mistake was not to take the current presenters to the new company. ATV kept all its presenters when it changed to Central. TSW took the Westward continuity presenters, Meridian took Fred Dinenage! The problem with GM-TV was it wanted to start afresh and like Radio 1 when they dumped up all the DJ’s nobody likes that amount of change in one go. Well it’s never going to be like that again. Can’t believe it’ll be 30 years this New Years Eve.
@@rtc9063 You are so right in your words really of course. TV-am ended and when GMTV took over in 1993 they ought to have taken the presenters with them; at least then viewers would perhaps have found it easier to take in when they started. Thank you anyway of course!!
Mike Morris did appear on GMTV he only done Sunday Best mind you until Anne Davis took over then the Sundays changed to The Sunday Review and then The Sunday Programme and then GMTV Kids programmes
@@jamesdelboy Yes Calendar happens to be our local ITV news, so saw him on there quite a bit. It was sad that he died in his 60s, I always thought he was a professional. I can remember a really silly exchange between Judge Pickles and him on Sunday Best that got out of hand, but there does not seem to be a clip on you tube. I spend too much time when not working reliving the 80s and 90s on you tube!
Very odd of Scottish to run their ident, and then the non-STV trail. Would have made much more sense to run the GMTV trail, then the Scottish ident and (recorded) welcome announcement, and then cut straight to the first programme (He-Man), which is what came (almost) next, according to ua-cam.com/video/KM6ZJQHQI4w/v-deo.html For comparison, in those days, it was common for Central to start with a trail, then play a station ident directly before the first programme of the day.
Andrew Demetrius incorrect. Do some research on what happened as the ITV network switched from TVAM to the regions at 9.25am each day. It's well documented and anyone who knows anything about ITV in the 80's and 90's knows this.
Well done! what a tone of Great clips. !!!!!
Scottish TV and then an England shirt lol!
Yeah that was funny!
GMTV really went out of their way to endear themselves to Scottish viewers!
RIP Mike..good lad you were
i just love that accent
As Dr Billy 100 says, Mike Morris died on 23 October 2012. R.I.P.

How oddly cruel... no sooner has TV-am gone off air for the day when a GMTV promo comes on the air.
This was just one week before TV-AM aired its last show.
Gutted when they lost the franchise.
Good comment. Thank you.
Thursday 24th December 1992
Brilliant, marvelous

Before the changes in the 90s, Radio 1 was a crappy station for old gits.
Lorraine Kelly lovely as always.
I've plenty more - If I can be bothered to find the time! :-)
Mike Morris did appear on GMTV he only done Sunday Best mind you until Anne Davis took over then the Sundays changed to The Sunday Review and then The Sunday Programme and then GMTV Kids programmes
He was then on ITV local news program Calendar for a while, then sadly died as some here have commented.
@@annemariestones3984 I had seen a clip of him on Calendar

Mike Morris ended up on a cable channel called Wire TV. Lovely guy that we lost too soon. Rip.
Of course. Where is that?
was the break of the screen at 0:42 because of the network change
rachel fleming yes that's right.

Which Gary Stevens?
TV-am did quite well with their kids programmes GMTV done it a bit better(until it became CITV of course)
7 Days Until TV AM Changes To GMTV!!!!!!!
Alas really too though!!
@rachel7000rf Yes that's correct.
God that TV-am set in the end looked like a junk pile at a garden centre.
soooooooo is this the episode where she is drunk>?
This is badly edited and is not an actual handover... spot the old style VHS video edit.....
Andrew Demetrius no editing whatsoever. Thanks for your comment though.
That is a poor VHS edit....
0:43 is a VHS RECORDER EDIT!
Andrew Demetrius if you are referring to the jump at 0:43 then you obviously don't know what happened on ITV at 9.25 each day back in those days.
