Where did they go? Loose women

The Loose women?

Not been on for ages and not on until April.
I know they have horse racing on some days, but it hasn’t been every day at all.

Has something happened?

Why are people bothered either way if they hate it so much

There are programmes I'd never watch.
But I just choose not to watch them. I don't think thank god it's not on anymore if it stops cos I don't care if other people watch them

I think programmes like This Morning and Lorraine have their place. Magazine shows are important to many people. As they are current and live they give a feeling of time and place to people that are at home daily. I think they are actually very under appreciated because they talk about lots of different things and interview a wide range of people that allows people to grow the general knowledge and come across things they would else never have thought about. This kind of thing is being lost for the younger population as they can chain watch their own things and end up having very narrow general knowledge. Something I have noticed recently as well, is that the hosts of such shows do very well on quiz shows as they have usually discussed various topics or issues on their programme.

ITVs live magazine programmes give light relief (mostly) to people's day to day life and keep then engaged in current events without the full doom and gloom of the world. They help you to give markers to the time of day and to give varied and interesting background noise that isn't too taxing and means you dont have to do the constant decision making of what should I watch next. I don't always like the content or what people are saying on these shows but I do think they have a very important part to play in today's society as we loose many things to streaming. The familiarity of hosts and the routine is comforting to many as well. I think it would be quite sad if they cut back on them too much.

Yes I agree 💓

@springvegetables When they announced all the cuts they offered Lorraine a chance to break her contract to go earlier, she turned them down. She is being let go. She had a long tenure, never understood why tv bosses liked her so much. Bit like Steve Wright DJ - RIP - how he clung on so long at Radio 2.

Why is she being let go after so long? What will they put in her place and Loose women? More repeated game shows? surely no one will watch

Wish she would, so over rated.
