A source told MailOnline that executives are eager to boost the programme&#8217;s ratings, as BBC Breakfast currently outperforms GMB by 400,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">With over one million tuning into the BBC&#8217;s alternative compared to GMB&#8217;s 700k, it&#8217;s believed that bosses want to give Good Morning Britain a makeover, the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/05\/18\/good-morning-britain-to-undergo-biggest-overhaul-11-years-ahead-major-change-23108299\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"MetroLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Metro<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_Screenshot-2025-05-19-135652.png\" alt=\"Good Morning Britain hosts (L-R) Sean Fletcher, Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>The ITV breakfast show has been on air since 2014(Image:  ITV\/REX\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">While all changes are yet to be finalised, possibilities include relocating to a new studio or tweaking the format to make GMB more &#8216;serious&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">There are also rumours that the breakfast show will merge with ITV&#8217;s news operation, produced by ITN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Union leaders representing GMB workers are thought to have expressed &#8216;concern&#8217; via internal memos that these plans could jeopardise people&#8217;s jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, insiders suggest this isn&#8217;t a certainty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">A source said: &#8220;Obviously, any talk of major change starts panic-lots of the staff were immediately worried about the security of their jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;This is about streamlining ITV&#8217;s news output across the whole day, and having separate teams doubling up just doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;So it may well be that some correspondents end up appearing across the whole day&#8217;s schedule, rather than being specifically attached to GMB or ITV News.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">They added that the revamp could lead to &#8220;a new set and a new feel, and a more continuous feel to ITV&#8217;s news bulletins throughout the whole day as a result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;But people are very much likely to lose their jobs, so there is a lot of upset, anger and, in some cases, mutiny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Good Morning Britain covers a variety of segments, including world news, entertainment, weather, politics, sports, and competitions, as well as local news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Over the years, it has also aired several spin-offs, including GMB Today, which was a temporary replacement for Lorraine during its 2017 summer break.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The following year, a special edition titled Good Evening Britain followed the England vs. Belgium World Cup football match and included live celebrity reactions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747398730_254_0_WACOMMUNITYQR3.jpg\" alt=\"\"  \/>Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">You&#8217;ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">All you have to do is <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/BZamc48XMaoEqKkIN7GWxV\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">click here if you&#8217;re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select &#8216;Join Community&#8217; and you&#8217;re in!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">If you&#8217;re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click &#8216;Join Community&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
