The broadcaster has pledged to keep its lineup recognisable ahead of a January 2026 overhaul

Overview

  • Good Morning Britain veteran Richard Madeley has signed a six-month contract to remain on the show from September.
  • ITV has declined to comment on individual agreements and promised viewers that its daytime lineup will stay familiar.
  • Only lead host Susanna Reid is guaranteed a longer-term deal while other presenters are on temporary arrangements pending focus-group ratings and cost considerations.
  • The network's January 2026 revamp will extend Good Morning Britain to 6am–9.30am and reduce shows like Lorraine and Loose Women to 30-week seasonal slots.
  • Over 220 daytime production roles are under consultation for potential cuts as ITV reallocates savings toward drama, sports rights and news programming.
