Overview

• Noel Phillips is expected to leave Good Morning Britain after more than four years as part of an ITV consultation on over 220 daytime roles.
• ITV will close GMB’s U.S. bureau and place the show under ITN’s news team as part of a broader cost-saving overhaul.
• From January 2026, Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes on weeks when Lorraine Kelly is off air under the new production arrangement.
• ITV has assured that Susanna Reid, Ed Balls and other familiar presenters will remain on air and that diversity and inclusion standards will be maintained.
• A 44% drop in ITV’s first-half earnings to £99 million spurred the cuts designed to free up funds for drama, sports and expanded news output.
