I do think some of these stories are just fairly standard production decisions which become caught up with the stories of C4 struggling as not that unusual for some shows to record a significant number of episodes in advance then not film for over a year, but overall big changes are needed to get the channel out of it's current rutt - and can't see the necessary changes happening under current management.
ITV does offer 8 hours, but note those 8 hours are produced cost effective from two studios with GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women all now produced cost effective in TC2 and TC3 at Television Centre - 7.5 hours done from their sublet studios at Television Centre, with Lunchtime News from ITN studios.
