    Had the tv left on while making dinner there and up popped Mr Motivator on Ireland AM, doing his old gig from GMTV. A new low.

    Anton Savage or Mr. Motivator :confused: :pac:

    The new hour is just TV3 way of giving the two fingers to the regulator, an hour or current affairs sponsored on the TV :rolleyes:

    And they're blatantly copying Daybreak as well.

    I didn't think I'd like the new format but the first hour isn't too bad. Much better than having to endure the awful Cagney and Desmond for the first hour. I turn it off at 8 then.

    I don't really mind Cagney. Likes the sound of his own voice a bit too much but he wears cracking suits :D

    And his crazy socks.

    I just wish he let the guests get a word in sometimes. It's hard trying to watch his interviews.

    Jane Asher was on this morning.
    She has been married for 40yrs but previously dated Paul McCarthy.
    Mark and Sinead kept asking her about who she dated in The 60s. She was uncomfortable and tried to avoid topic.
    Sinead said but it must be cool to tell your kids 'I dated all these famous rockstars' jane eventually said 'no I think it's cooler to say I've been happily married to your grandfather for decades' Sinead said ok so Mark spoke about something else and Sinead kept muttering about cool rock stars.
    It was so cringy and unprofessional.
    Jane Asher was a lady and handled it very well. I was mortified for Ireland AM

    Desmond is the worst 'presenter' on television today, and I use the word loosely.

    That patronising concerned look she gives, does my tits in.

    Anna Daly on the other hand, ALWAYS gets me 'up' in the morning, if ya know what I mean ;)

    TV3 could really do with some new blood on that show. Also, it goes on for far too long each morning. One or two hours is more than enough for a breakfast show like that.

    New set is appallingly garish! What is it with all the pink, orange and yellow?
    The wallpaper is like something you would see in Granny's house!! The couches
    are so close to the ground, everyone looks tiny - definitely not an improvement!! I
    do not believe for one minute that 'everyone loves our new set'!!!

    Now that Mark is coming back, I wonder if there will be a return to the format where
    Anton Savage discusses the news of the day with the panel. That was my very
    favourite part of the IrelandAM. Was really disappointed when it came to an end.

    Plus the same garish title sequence (used for at least six years now) and the same boring old saxophone-and-piano theme tune.

    Which, I believe, has been used since the show began in 1999 - so it has to be considered one of the longest-running theme tunes for an Irish TV programme.

    The P&G sponsorship stings, meanwhile, are worse than ever before.

    Ah, TV-am... :D:D;);)

    Here are the respective full versions of the theme tunes for Good Morning Britain and Daybreak (the TV-am programmes, that is, and not the current ITV breakfast service and its immediate predecessor).

    Both were composed by Jeff Wayne - and both are ten thousand trillion times better than Ireland AM's theme tune... ;);)

    He called into the set a few days ago. Said he had had a procedure done on his back.
    When asked about the new set, he replied that it looked......very bright! But he was
    sure he would get used to it!!

    Sorry to see Anton is leaving IrelandAM. Was hoping they would resume the
    Daybreak slot with him when Mark returns.

    I think we can safely say now that the "news hour" is no more.

    I can suggest four possible reasons why it was dropped:

    * It wasn't quite as popular as TV3 thought it would be.
    * They decided it wouldn't work as well without Anton.
    * They noticed that Good Morning America for Britain (again, to distinguish it from TV-am's Good Morning Britain) wasn't doing anything similar.
    * They dropped it out of panic over UTV Ireland.

    And I can't help but lean towards the fourth one... :o:o;)

    My feeling towards it is that it was created to give the rest of the gang the opportunity to work on screen from 8-10.45. But it didn't quite work out like that. You still had Cagney, Cooney and Desmond in the studio from 7.
    Extending it out an extra 45 minutes was a bad idea, and I'm glad they have reduced it back to ending at 10am.

    She does have a rack that won't quit and keeps herself very fit, but the voice, the voice would drive u demented.

    Just caught the shambolic beginning to the 15th Birthday edition, an amateurish clusterf**k of mortifying proportions, just a day like any other really. Though maybe the malfunctioning of gobshyte Cooneys microphone for the first 10 minutes was an inside job

    What is the point of the children doing the presenting? Even by IrelandAM standards, this is a mess.
