First GMTV Introduction 1st January 1993

[MrJtc29]

Happy Birthday GMTV (19th)

[greyhoundgill]

Those kids on the school bus have probably left school now and have a job somewhere

[LANBritain1]

@greyhoundgill

Seeming it was 18 years ago, and they look 12-13 there. They're possibly in there late 20s-early 30s...so of course they have.

[DaveyC95]

God, Lorraine Kelly went from TV-AM to GMTV and to Daybreak, why do they keep this horrible, fake, insincere douchebag?..She is a right madam to work with and bitchy about her co-stars behind the scenes.

[djboy247]

Oh I miss the 90's, my childhood! So many great memories!

[SpaceSoft3030]

Remove the G it's now MTV!

[MistahLee29]

I hated GM:TV, and I hate Eammon Holmes. TV-AM should never have gone but thanks to a massive fuck up by Thatcher, it did, and was replaced by this garbage. Anyway, 3rd September 2010 was the greatest day ever in breakfast TV history when GM:TV finished.

[pikanite]

@MistahLee29 Oh so is Daybreak your favourite show now?

[matty12jkishs]

School Time:-)

[iosnick]

ahhh its rhe 90's jazzy squalking trumpets

[rachel7000rf]

the thing with GMTV is that its opening titles looked so modern compared to TV-am.

[TopNotchAaron]

wow the 90ssucked then compared to now

[CJAC5]

I miss the 90's.

[globalcentralline]

Daybreak is crap since they axed GMTV its gone downhill....

[MrSean677]

even Oprah Winfrey made a little appearance at 0:25

[geography27]

Thank goodness this crap ended.

Daybreak - Forget it.

TVam was much better. More warmer, more down to earth.

[Feisty1967]

GMTV looked so different back then!

[ElectrexOnline]

love to wake up with her!

[HHGFHJGFHJGFJTYFJDGY]

Bye, Bye GMTV, this was the beginning and today we saw the end - youtube.com/watch?v=2alIehWQ72­M

[1996cjtg]

ITV are spoiling it by swapping truly excellent Good Morning Television for Daybreak with Christine Bleakley )-: and Adrian Chiles D-':

[liverpoolkopite11]

@1996cjtg Truly excellent GMTV? No chance. If it was even good then ITV would have saved themselves the trouble of axing it in the first place.

[cautionbrainworking]

what a cock up that was in the 90s killing of what was good, tv-am themes etc that was the end of the road

[sticklemiss]

Eamonn is thin!!!

[goodatmagic]

Is that David Cameron on his bicyle at the start of this party political broadcast for the LibCons?

[Enerjee]

And that's Anne Davies who does the local BBC East Midlands news.

[abhudson14]

@Enerjee yes

[simpson30]

@Enerjee So did Anne jump from Central to GMTV? I never ever watched GMTV to be honest, but do remember her from Central News and now BBC from Nottingham (where she is rather annoying IMO).

[Enerjee]

@simpson30 - I don't know. I haven't lived in the Midlands since the 1989. If she was on Central then it could have been before or after GMTV.

[B1CUM]

never seen a nissan bluebird but i did see a vauxhall frontera estate lwb must have been new at the time lol

[myrnaloysboy]

That dreadful Eamon

[micrafan]

is that a Nissan Bluebird Esate car like the one my granddad had in those days?

[aaronjarvis1]

Gr8. luks so old.

[matt1784]

Bring back tv-am!

[solomegan123]

is that that guy from this moring

[97channel]

solomegan123 - Yes, it is. Eamonn Holmes.

[KevL75]

God it was so cheesy.

Especially the businessman setting off to work and his wife waving goodbye.

Why not portray a house husband seeing his wife go off to work in the city?

GMTV thinks it's some American news network.

Same old saxophone shit too!

[pj6641]

TV am took some beatting Good old tory government useless wankers they have ruined britian

[Markbiceps]

pj6641 i quite agree. What the tories did to ITV losing TV-AM and poor Londoners losing their beloved Thames to dreadful Carlton is unforgiveable. If we are unfortunate to get them back in power in 2010 Aunty will be next on the list. Messing with Aunty would be a crime!!!!!

[richardsweden]

Gosh I remember this, they presented their own news too !!

[tomdambach]

@richardsweden

oh yh they allways go to the news desk now but then they had the presenters doing there news

[logom0]

WOW i remember this intro! i was only little as well!

[pistak09]

I remember when GMTV started, it look crap, some of the presenters were crap, i say bring back TV-AM much better and more entertianing than GMTV

[The92002]

Wow, this brings back memoreis... but I thought TV-am was better

[leap2jump]

Bring back TV-AM please with Anne Diamond and Co, they were the best ever

[jamieb5581]

I remember getting up early to watch this when I was about 14/15 years old.

[BriWayne]

Breakfast News and GMTV = Scrap

[zebra55]

Eamonn has gained a lot of weight since then.

[Markbiceps]

The word GMTV and news dosen't really go together? Breakfast has news and also has laughs and giggles.

[Markbiceps]

GMTV not a patch on TV-AM, but the best is as always BBC Breakfast. a class act. Love Sian and Bill.

[Tescok]

BBC Breakfast is more news formal, GMTV has laughs and giggles aswell as news.

[k5uk]

itv plc are trying to buy out Disney's stake in GMTV currently.

[Tescok]

I really hope Disney don't sell, otherwise it'll become more formal.

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

Disney aren't going anywhere. Disney are making so much revenue that they want 25% of ITV plc. 's 75%.

[donjabroni]

One of the reason why I hated the 90s...

[feltum]

GMTV - 16 years of complete crap! Bring back tvam.

[paulmerton4pope]

Gosh - Eamonn looks so young!

[bidanton]

It's amazing that GMTV has now (2009) lasted 16 years already, much longer than Tv-am did (nearly 10 years). As there no longer seems to be any ITV franchise changes since 1993, I guess that GMTV will continue for some time, if not forever! I wonder?

[racrmimbpsvc]

GMTV was okay in its first few months, but when the twats like Fiona Phillips came on GMTV, it was crap. BRING BACK TV AM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Ahhhh 1993, New ITV Regions, The Ford Mondeo, Sky Multichannels and GM-TV

[yesitsme8791]

i quite like how the upbeat theme goes into news trail at end there

[simonipswich]

Anyone notice the old TV-am logo on wall?

[mattgumn]

I'd guess it's a homage to the binned station.

I used to love this intro, it's a shame they don't use it anymore.

[pisadoesvlogs]

how cheesy is that...?

[ashworth321]

Anne Davis is on our East Midlands Today programme on the BBC. Traitor! Should have gone to ITV Central News. Still like her though! I like Eamonn and Ruth on This Morning!

[alicesprings84]

i also wake up to gmtv every week day, and have doine scince it begun and before when it was tv-am, love it

[Odessii]

Oh yeah, this is thankfully before anyone needed a widescreen TV to have any chance of fitting Eammon into the picture.

[MrSoprano0125]

Wake up to GMTV...

[MusicJunkie777]

Bring back this intro! =)

I remember waking up every morning for school with this! =D

[Hoddersrevenge]

Ditto. THink they alst sued this about 97 but I wouldnt rememebr. This seems a lot more welcoming than the current 1.

[PM1970]

@MusicJunkie777 I remember going to work with this! Did you know that a relation of mind wrote complaining about the over loud sax so they toned it down a little lol

[alicesprings84]

yh love gmtv watched it right from day one, and from when it was tv-am cant start the weekday morning with out it

[TheBloodthirst]

Check out that intro song.I fucking love the 90's.

[DavidTL]

Pity they're gone. I'd do anything to go back.

[bastlake]

@TheBloodthirst

hot saxaphone, baby!

[kai85TUBER]

oohh~ eamonn was there eversince it was 1st started.

[FabFM]

Eammon left the show years ago, not before making several million quid. He was a much better presenter at the start, later on he was very light weight.
