Good Morning Britain (often shortened to GMB) is a British breakfast programme, broadcast weekdays from 6:00am to 8:30am on the ITV television network. Good Morning Britain was launched on 28 April 2014 in place of Daybreak, ITV's previous breakfast programme that had experienced poor press and low viewing figures during its four-year run.[4] Good Morning Britain has an audience share of 13.5%, with around 700,000 tuning in.
In its two years on air, there have been various main presenters; from the beginning in April 2014, the hosts were Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlotte Hawkins and Sean Fletcher, but in January 2015, Reid and Shephard were the two main hosts, with Hawkins reading the news and Fletcher became sports editor. In September 2015, Shephard cut his appearances to just two days a week, with Kate Garraway covering the other three until November 2015 when Piers Morgan joined the presenting line-up. Garraway currently co-hosts the programme on Thursdays and Fridays and is often joined by Ranvir Singh.
