Lorraine Kelly to front brand new travel programme on rival channel
Beloved presenter Lorraine Kelly is to front a brand new travel programme on ITV rival Channel 4. This comes after complaints and wild speculation from some fans that she barely hosts Lorraine. Very little is known about the new travel series at the moment, but it has been suggested that Channel 4 is "delighted" to have signed her. Discussing the new Lorraine Kelly series, a source told The Sun: "Channel 4 were delighted to have Lorraine on board. "It was exciting for Lorraine to do something different and be on location again. "Despite the apparent slight in the ITV daytime shake-up, Lorraine's loyal fanbase isn't to be underestimated and they will follow her wherever she goes. "She's survived in this business a long time, and she's a master at rolling with the punches." According to TV Zone, this comes after ITV confirmed a new studio home for popular daytime shows like This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine. It was announced that these would be joining ITN's headquarters and sharing a studio with a new-look ITV News. Changes to scheduling were also confirmed, with GMB being extended by 30 minutes, running from 6am to 9:30am daily. In the 2026 Daytime schedule, Lorraine will also run from 9:30am to 10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. Discussing the changes, Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, said: 'Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres... 'These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever.' After receiving criticism from fans after hosting just 59.7% of the episodes of her popular morning show, she took to social media to explain why. She shared: 'Initially, it was for my mum, who has been ill. 'And it sort of brings you into line with everyone else because if you look at This Morning, everybody else does four days. 'Where is Lorraine?' comes to an end after ITV's Lorraine Kelly breaks silence Emmerdale's John Middleton joins rival soap to play 'most evil character ever' Everything you can expect from the new 22 Kids and Counting specials this month 'And as I'm getting older, I want to do other things, more writing, all of that. Mate, I've been doing this for 40 years, working my a*** off.' She added: 'Maybe it just started off as a wee joke, but it's the way that everyone piles on. 'It starts off as a wee tiny thing, and it gets bigger and bigger. I find it really sad.'

Starting on Wednesday, July 16, a curated and regularly refreshed selection of hit shows and movies from Disney+ and ITVX will be available to viewers on both platforms. ITV and Disney+ Plus announce new streaming partnership Disney+ customers in the UK will be able to stream some of ITV 's "most acclaimed" scripted and unscripted content. This includes the award-winning drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' and selected seasons of the hit reality show 'Love Island'. At the same time, ITVX users will be able to enjoy 'The Bear', the Star Wars series 'Andor' and the popular mystery programme 'Only Murders in the Building'.

Disney and ITV partner up to show each other's shows on their streaming services
Disney and the British free-to-air broadcaster ITV have launched a new partnership that will allow them to show each other's shows in an effort to reach new audiences. ITV viewers will be able to watch shows including Only Murders in the Building , Andor , and The Bear – which lives on Disney+ in the UK – while Disney will take advantage of ITV's various dramas and reality TV offerings. Mr Bates vs The Post Office , ITV's BAFTA award-winning four-part dramatization of the British Post Office scandal, will be available to Disney+ subscribers, as well as selected seasons of the ever-popular Love Island dating show. The thinking seems to be that ITV's typically older viewing demographic could be drawn to Disney's more adult-focused shows, with ITV's output likely to appeal to streaming audiences that skew younger. That said, family-friendly Disney+ shows including Lilo and Stitch: The Series and Phineas and Ferb will also make their way to ITV as part of the deal. ITV has its own streaming platform, called ITVX, which is free to watch in the UK with ads, or ad-free as part of a monthly subscription. Disney's content will live on ITVX in the UK, and will be badged as "A Taste of Disney+", with Disney+ offering its "A Taste of ITVX" library to its own subscribers. Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of Media and Entertainment at ITV, said in a press release that the plan is for both libraries to be regularly updated. Traditional broadcasters striking deals with streaming platforms is nothing new. Netflix has been licensing shows from the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK for a number of years, for example, and back in 2022 Disney and the BBC started co-producing Doctor Who , with Disney+ becoming the home of the long-running sci-fi show outside of the UK. More often than not, though, these relationships tend to be one-way affairs in terms of where the content is distributed, so this even divide between two platforms seems more novel. The selected shows and movies for the launch window will be available to stream on their respective platforms from July 16.
