Lorraine Kelly Says 'It's Heartbreaking' in 'Difficult' Show Future Admission - Liverpool Echo
Lorraine Kelly's show now airs 30 minutes per day for 30 weeks annually amid ITV schedule changes that risk 220 of 450 jobs, she says saving jobs is her priority.
- Earlier this year, Lorraine Kelly broke her silence after ITV announced cuts to her morning show, describing the reductions as `heartbreaking`.
- ITV announced a broadcaster-wide daytime restructure earlier this year that put 220 out of 450 daytime positions at risk, Kevin Lygo, ITV Managing Director of Media and Entertainment, said it will consolidate news and free savings for reinvestment.
- The change will come into force in January next year with Good Morning Britain extended by 30 minutes to 9.30am and Lorraine Kelly running 9.30am–10am.
- She said her immediate focus was to save jobs, adding, `To be totally honest with you, the main focus for me was to save as many jobs as possible`; several long-serving members of her production team were redeployed.
- Asked about retirement, Lorraine Kelly said she would not step away and dismissed claims she would leave after her current one-year contract, citing Gloria Hunniford as inspiration.
