On ITV's stage, a change is made,
Lorraine Kelly's show will be cut in half displayed,
From 60 minutes to 30, a shorter time to share,
A new schedule's born, with changes in the air.
Good Morning Britain's extended by half an hour's space,
To fill the gap, a new time slot takes its place,
From 6 to 9.30 daily, it will now reside,
A longer show, with more to abide.
Lorraine's not on air, but GMB will take the stage,
Extended by 30 minutes, a new time to engage,
10 o'clock's the new time, for those who stay and play,
A longer show, with more to say.
Loose Women's slot remains, but cut to 30 weeks a year,
A shorter show, with less to hear,
This Morning stays, in its 10 to 12.30 slot so fine,
A constant show, with a familiar shine.
Kevin Lygo speaks, with words so bold and bright,
"We'll deliver news, debate and discussion, day and night",
Savings will be made, to reinvest with care,
In other genres, with a new plan to share.
ITV Studios consults, with daytime teams so dear,
A proposal's made, to merge and bring near,
Three shows will share resources, and operations too,
A new way forward, with a plan anew.
GMB moves to ITV News, at ITN's hub so grand,
National news gathering, in one place to expand,
Scottish Kelly's show, will now be shorter in time,
A change is made, with a new rhyme.
