I don’t personally think it’s unreasonable to expect a breakfast program to have the same hosts at least three days a week. To have 4 different pairings of main hosts every week is a little much IMO, and they still seem no further forward in terms of a permanent replacement for Piers.
I don’t see it all that often, but they seem to be in something of a weird place format wise. They’ve dropped the monologues and unpredictability which you had under Piers (which made it most watchable IMO around 2017/18), but have kept the silly, confrontational debates, which no longer seem to ‘match’ the rest of program.
I do think they would have been better just biting the bullet and bringing in a new host who could have done their own spin on what Piers did. If they hadn’t have worked out, they could have been gone by now and they’d be in the same place they are currently.
We don’t seem to get ratings very often, but I believe the show is plodding along in the 600-700k range, which certainly isn’t brilliant. I don’t personally think this reluctance to commit to a new host and a proper format is necessarily helping.
