3:44 - The TV-am newsroom would remain open until 1st Feb 1992. This edition aired just two weeks after TV-am knew they had lost their franchise come 1st Jan 1993. The budget had been set for the 1991 - 1992 year, so when the new budget started on 1st Feb 1992, TV-am closed their newsroom and contracted their news output to Sky News for a one off fee of £500,000.

That opening show in TV-am, First Report, was created solely to up the hard news content as a persuader to the ITC to retain the franchise. They lost 14% of their audience, as it wasn't what the viewers wanted to watch, but TV-am hoped to help save the company with it. As soon as they got the news that the franchise had been lost, they swiftly got rid and extended GMB to maximise profits in their final year.

It was horrible, wasn't it? That, and the endlessly layered moving collage of the titles are so absolutely of their time. Meanwhile the Good Morning Britain title sequence remained unchanged from day one, and the actual TVam logo still screamed Early Eighties, demonstrating why it's not always wise to be perfectly on trend unless you want (and can afford to) change things regularly.
