GMTV Newshour

Newshour was GMTV's weekday news-oriented breakfast programme, broadcasting for an hour from the start of GMTV's weekday broadcast at 6:00 am. It was launched in March 1993 as a joint-partnership between GMTV and Reuters, it was originally called The Reuters News Hour. The programme included national and international news stories, regional news, weather and newspaper reviews, plus various guests, designed to be more serious than the lighter and more tabloid GMTV Today programme which followed it. From January 2009, this programme title was scrapped, and merged with GMTV Today to create one GMTV name again. The same presenters from Newshour continued to present the 6:00 am to 7:00 am slot until June 2010.
