GMTV - First Edition Broadcast1993 January 1st 1993 "Good Morning. A new day, a new year, a new television station. Welcome to GMTV, Britain's brightest start..." Those were the first words spoken by Eamonn on the first edition. Unfortunately as with TV-am things were not all rosey and changes were ahead!
Right clip - GMTV Weather with Emma Jesson. The GMTV weather was first produced from Birmingham by the Weather Department. This wasn't to last!
GMTV - First Weekday Broadcast1993 Michael and Fiona were to present Monday to Thursday with Eamonn and Anne presenting on Friday. Unfortunately the transition from TV-am was not a smooth one. Fiona soon left, Michael continued with GMTV, starting the successful "News Hour", weekday mornings at 6 am. Eamonn and Anne presented 5 days a week for a short time.
Right clip - Of course today we take ITV local news at breakfast for granted, but it wasn't always that way. GMTV introduced the service on Monday 4th January 1993.
