GMTV 1993 – 1996

On Monday 19 April 1993 GMTV was revamped, including a new set that mimicked that of TV-am. Around the same time ITC was approached with the hopes in decreasing its quota of news. Just two months earlier, the ITC had criticised the company for being “too entertainment led”, A final warning was given in May 1994; although the ITC acknowledged that considerable improvements had taken place up to the start of 1994, but its news bulletins continued to be unsatisfactory. By September 1994, GMTV had achieved high enough standards to avoid the fine and for the first time, had made a profit.

Examples of studio presentation and graphics

In July 1994, Anthea Turner joined GMTV to present along with Mr Motivator the “Fun in the Sun” summer holiday features, before being paired up with Eamonn Holmes to present the main programme shortly afterwards. The news presentation was updated in spring 1994, while the rest of the presentation was given a refresh in early 1995.
